There won’t be no Nantes supporters Saturday April 30 for the 5 p.m. match between Lens and Nantes at the Bollaert stadium.
Due “the existing antagonism between the supporters of the two teams“, the Pas-de-Calais prefecture announced on Tuesday that it would be prohibited “anyone claiming to be a supporter of FC Nantes, or behaving as such, to access the Bollaert-Delelis Stadium in Lens and its surroundings as well as to travel on public roads within the district of Lens“.
This ban takes effect on Saturday April 30, 2022, from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Racing Club de Lens committed to its supporters
In addition, the Racing Club de Lens communicated on Tuesday to denounce the travel ban on Lensois supporters in Paris on April 23. for the game against PSG.
The club denounces “‘a new decision against the freedom of movement of our supporters“. The RCL regrets “a dangerous shift and an incomprehensible systematization of these measures when no incident has been observed this season on all the movements of the Lensois public”.
