AS Panazol is getting ready for the big day. His very first 32nd round of the French Football Cup on Saturday (1:45 p.m.) against Vitré at the Saint Lazare stadium in Limoges. For the occasion, the little thumb of the competition opened a temporary ticket office until Wednesday at the Boris Vian room of Panazol. Pierre arrived as soon as the doors opened. “I came on purpose to have my place for this 32nd final. It doesn’t happen every day. So far there is nothing to say. With this match before where they eliminated Angoulême who was the big favorite. They had a wonderful game. We hope they will do the same. In my opinion, the whole city will grow behind them. I think Saint Lazare will be filled to the brim“says this passionate football licensee at the Alouette club.
Whatever the outcome, it’s already exceptional
But will the stadium be really full? Not sure yet. Thursday evening, less than 600 places had found takers of the 2,600 put up for sale. In any case, Suzic, a volunteer at the club, already has his own and those of his two children. In his hands, real collector tickets stamped 32nd final of the Coupe de France: “it is unprecedented what will happen. We are super proud, super happy. I hope it will be a success and that Panazol will win. Already, the 8th lap, we didn’t really believe it. It was great, we were all in joy. Whatever the outcome, it is already exceptional.“Families of the players also came to collect their tickets. Like Jalil, whose dad is on the team. His mum made lollipops with the club’s image and t-shirts for the children.”T-shirts with the colors of Panazol and with the writing Go Panazol“Jalil already rejoices.

Friends of players like Marianne also came to collect their precious sesame: “we are proud of the team. We are happy so we will go and support them. I think it’s going to be hectic!“laughs the young woman. A craze which inevitably makes the happiness of the president of AS Panazol, even if Dominique Mounier hoped that the ticket office would work a little better before the match : “I thought it would start a little stronger. But today, many do not want to anticipate. We are living in a pandemic. People are waiting a bit and I totally understand. The main thing is that there aren’t too many crowds at the entrance to the stadium“. This is why he invites those who would like to come to anticipate by buying their place upstream.
