About ten kilometers separate Saint-Etienne and Andrézieux-Bouthéon. This is why the Loire prefecture has decided to ban the supporters of the Paillade from traveling who wanted to go to the small town of 10,000 inhabitants, located north-west of the cauldron, next weekend, on the occasion of the 32nd of Coupe de France final between the formation of N2 and the MHSC, Sunday December 19 at 4 p.m.
The conditions of access to the Envol Stadium (single track) and the “rivalry“between supporters of the Greens and the Hérault club make the prefecture fear clashes like those deplored by the state services after the previous round, during the match between Andrézieux and Grenoble.
