And what is it that we are happy for them, for French football as a whole, that this return of the spectators to the stadiums. It’s not yet the big crowds, but a match with nearly 30,000 people in the stands, like at Groupama Stadium at Olympique Lyonnais, it seems to us distant in our memories.
Maximum attendance for OL, the Girondins in the average
Just over 184,000 spectators crowded into the ten host venues for a match in the opener of the 2021-22 season. This is worth an average of close to 18,000 visitors in the stands per match, as the match between the Girondins de Bordeaux, in Clermont Foot. If the other promoted, ESTAC Troyes, did everything possible, to accompany his return to the elite and the gala meeting, to play against PSG, elsewhere we noted some peculiarities.
OM “played at home” at the Stade de la Mosson
In Montpellier in particular and Andy Delort, was moved by it, the local team sometimes had “The feeling of playing outside”, against a team from Olympique de Marseille, who came with as many supporters as possible. There was a desire, in some places fervor and pleasure, a lot, to get together, commune, and follow their favorite club together. It almost seems silly to write it down, yet it is a real relief.
