At odds with the management, the supporters still wanted to encourage the players in front of the stadium forecourt. The Greens are the red lantern in Ligue 1 and will have to fight to get out of the red zone.
A few hours earlier, the ASSE bus had been greeted with a banner “Players/Staff: The ball is in your feet to save us”. A clear message to the attention of Pascal Dupraz and his players who must quickly recover.

In addition to the situation of the club, the Magic Fans also demonstrated against government decisions and in particular the gauge of 5,000 supporters applied in the stadiums. In protest, the group of supporters, wearing clown masks to represent the two presidents of the club, Roland Romeyer and Bernard Caïazzo, will not be in the stands of Geoffroy-Guichard this Saturday afternoon. They took the opportunity to ask once again for the resignation of the management.
