The announcement of the return of the gauges in stadiums and theaters in an attempt to curb the explosions of Covid-19 cases in France did not only make people happy. From clubs, to players, to supporters.
Thus, the Magic Fans have announced that they will not return to Geoffroy-Guichard to support AS Saint-Etienne when the season resumes. Whether it is Sunday during the round of 16 of the Coupe de France in Jura Sud, or for the Ligue 1 matches.
“We learned on Monday of the impending implementation of health restrictions in places open to the public. Stadiums will not escape the rule, and will be subject to a maximum capacity of 5,000 people, the fan group said in a statement. We will not comment on these decisions and take note of them. But as announced when we returned to the stands last summer, such measures are incompatible with the way we live our passion. Thus, from January 3 and until further notice, we will not be present at the stadium. “
While everyone “remains free to do what they see fit”, the group asks “not to wear material bearing the image of the Group during our absence”.
Before concluding: “Outside our bleachers, we will not for all that give up the fight that we have undertaken for several months: to save ASSE! Whether it’s pushing the Greens to victory or cleaning up behind the scenes, our role is now paramount! We will keep you informed of the actions we will take in the coming weeks. “
The next meeting of the Greens at home is scheduled for January 15 on the occasion of the visit of Lens.
