What future for the ASNL? The Professional Football League (LFP) will decide on Monday April 25 through a disciplinary committee, scheduled for 2 p.m.. She will return in detail to the incidents that erupted during the reception of Quevilly-Rouen in Ligue 2, and should formalize the descent to National. The meeting was interrupted after the 40th minute of play, Friday, April 22, due to the throwing of smoke bombs on the field by supporters. According to our information, the ASNL wanted to go there to defend its case.
Green carpet
Marcel-Picot brought down the curtain on Friday evening with a 3-0 score for Quevilly-Rouen. A result synonymous with relegation for Nancy, last in Ligue 2. As a reminder, the match was stopped for the first time after throwing smoke bombs in the wake of the second goal of Quevilly-Rouen (17th), from the stand behind the goal Lorraine. Then the referee interrupted the match a second time before the LFP delegate made a final decision in the 40th minute.
In this case, the regulations of the LFP provide that the file falls “toe the competence of the Disciplinary Committee of the LFP“, whose next meeting, initially scheduled for Wednesday, has been brought forward to Monday, April 25. It will be held at 2 p.m. According to our information, the ASNL has indicated that it wants to be heard, not by videoconference. as may be the case, but directly in the premises of the League, in Paris.
A way to better defend your case. The first of the sanctions, the most obvious, would be a victory on the green carpet of Quevilly Rouen. This would then formalize Nancy’s descent into the National, a first since the creation of the club in 1967.
An end of the season behind closed doors?
The disciplinary committee could also sanction the Piantoni stand again with a closed session for the last two home games: Nîmes on Saturday April 30, then Pau on May 14. Kop supporters would then be deprived of these two meetings at the Marcel-Picot stadium. This same stand had already been closed to the public for the last two home games before the reception of Quevilly-Rouen.
If such a sanction is taken, it would be added to that adopted following the match in Amiens last March. The LFP had banned Nancy supporters from following away matches until the end of the 2021-2022 season.
