A new collective sanction inflicted by the LFP Disciplinary Commission which further angered Saint-Etienne supporters. The Magic Fans, residents of the Kop Nord and therefore targeted by the sanction after the use of pyrotechnic devices against Troyes, once again demanded the reform of the Disciplinary Commission via a video clip.
They are not the only ones to stand up against these collective sanctions. The closure of the Kop Nord opposite Annecy particularly outraged the senator of the Loire Pierre-Jean Rochette who intends to once again contact the Ministry of Sports to challenge these collective sanctions as he explained to our partner France Bleu Saint-Étienne Loire : “I am outraged by this decision of the Disciplinary Commission. In Saint-Étienne, we have a family audience, an audience intrinsically and viscerally linked to this team, with an ASSE which needs its audience. When I see that we allow ourselves to suspend a platform in this way, at the last moment, this is to the detriment of those who paid for their place and to this ASSE team that we must support.
Personally, I will once again approach the Minister of Sports, Amélie Oudéa-Castéra, with an oral question and a letter, in order to ask her why such a hasty decision was taken, a decision which affects the future of a club if we partly deprive him of his twelfth man.”
If he wants to put an end to the throwing of projectiles into the stands, the senator is making a real difference with the use of pyrotechnics to liven up the stadiums: “Let us be firm and oppose the throwing of projectiles in a football stadium, this puts families and supporters in danger. However, there is a real difference between this and the use of festive smoke bombs. Maybe I’ll be called irresponsible, but I don’t think it’s a big deal to light a smoke bomb in a stadium. Football, the way we experience it in Saint-Étienne, must combine with the ultra movement and with these artifices which do not represent a danger when they are well used and well supervised.
Being listened to and heard on this subject by the ministry, I think it is feasible if we take into account the pressure put by the big clubs. The big clubs may have a lot of money, but they don’t have the supporters that we have in Saint-Étienne. The big clubs which do not have our fervor are obliged to set up other fireworks in their stadium, they therefore also want to change things to move towards supervised pyrotechnics, to move towards a loosening of the conditions to bring more festivities to the stadiums. I think we are going to be heard on this issue, while allowing the ultra movement to have a voice and to make itself understood.”
