The Green Angels 92 have indicated that they will not participate in the home matches of AS Saint-Étienne as long as the gauge is set at 5,000 people maximum in the enclosure of the Geoffroy-Guichard stadium by the prefecture of the Loire, as should be the case for the reception in Lorient on Sunday August 30. Like many other groups of supporters, the residents of the Kop Sud deplore the conditions deemed “rather heavy”: only 3,000 seats for sale, wearing a mask compulsory, seats only and nominative, with several seats apart between people.
The ultras, who mobilized during the confinement by launching a pot, specify: “We understand the obligation of social distancing but it is not compatible with our mode of supporterism, which is intended to be popular. »In agreement with the club, the south kop will remain closed. The Green Angels are one of the five groups of supporters from Saint-Etienne (along with the Magic Fans, Independantists from Saint-Etienne, Associés supporters and the Union des supporters Saint-Etienne). They will not make any travel. They ask those who wish to go to the stadium “not to wear equipment from the group and the south kop”.
