The controversies pile on top of each other after the meeting between Nice and FC Nantes
, last Sunday. If the arbitration of François Letexier who refused a penalty to the Canaries in the first period before generously granting one to the Rouge et Noir is highly contested
, the management of Nantes supporters by the police is also. And for good reason, on the orders of a police commissioner, five Yellows fans were forced to leave the visitor parking lot, without reasonwhile there were still 20 minutes of play left. After learning of the events, the club decided to ask the authorities for an explanation.
FC Nantes is considering making a gesture for injured supporters
The situation began to tense even before the start of the rematch of the Coupe de France final, during the search. Found in possession of pyrotechnic devices, two potted smoke bombs in reality, two supporters of the Loire Brigade, were arrested. Out of support, the 56 members of the group present at the Allianz Riviera have decided not to settle in the visitor parking lot and therefore, not to attend the meeting, unlike a handful of others, including a father and his three children, who took their place in the stands.
Determined not to reconsider their position, the ultras therefore ask the authorities at half-time to be able to leave the enclosure during the second period in order to be able to return more quickly to Loire-Atlantique. The request is accepted by the police commissioner present last Sunday, who then goes give an incomprehensible order, without informing the Gym beforehand: require the few supporters seated in the space reserved for visitors to leave as well. Without reason. Despite their anger, they had to leave the stadium 20 minutes from the end of the match. At that time, the Canaries were still leading. Faced with this aberrant situation, FC Nantes sent a letter, this Monday morning, to the Departmental Directorate of Public Security and to the prefecture of the Alpes-Maritimes in order to demand an explanation. At the same time, the club is also considering making a gesture for these five supporters deprived of a surreal end to the match.
