With the Covid-19 crisis, the spectator gauge in the stadiums is maintained at 5,000 spectators except by exemption. In each match, AS Saint-Etienne also tries to discuss with the Prefecture to obtain an extension of the gauge … And each time the Loire club finds itself challenged. This is particularly the case for the match against RC Strasbourg (3rd day) which will be played next Saturday in the Chaudron.
Passes for rubgy, not for football
If he had remained rather quiet after the decision of the authorities for the Lorient match, Bernard Caïazzo had this time more trouble to contain his annoyance with this second negative answer in 15 days. He made this known during an interview with France Info, denouncing the disparities with other sports and in particular rugby.
“The authorized gauge of 9,000 for the Brive Stadium on the occasion of the resumption of the Top 14 rugby. At one point, football supporters in general wonder about a particular treatment for football, which is very difficult to understand. Is it normal that 5,000 supporters are allowed in a 6,000-seat stadium, but for an 80,000-seat stadium like the Stade de France, 5,000 supporters are allowed, why this distortion? “, Annoyed the president of the Supervisory Board of the Greens.
