This is no longer a novelty, even the clbadic matches of our championship are the subject of procedures to prohibit the opponents supporters from being present.

This is the case for the match this Friday between Saint-Etienne and Nantes, where no representative of the Yellow House will be in the gallery. And yet, no ban has been taken by the authorities or the authorities. The reason then? FC Nantes has decided not to commercialize places in the visitors' area because of the constraints imposed for this trip by the Prefecture de la Loire. Only one week before the match, the club of Nantes learned that the individual displacement of the supporters would not be allowed whereas it had been the case at first. Constraints added that prevent FC Nantes to organize this move in a correct way, and caused the FCN's rant.

" The club had made every effort with the Prefecture of the Loire, the club of the ASSE and the local authorities to allow the supporters of Nantes to move in the best conditions. Despite these steps, the Prefecture of the Loire imposed on FC Nantes and its supporters several restrictive measures ", Lamented FC Nantes, in a statement hailed by supporters of both sides, tired of seeing the bans in all its forms recur every weekend.
