An attempt at destabilization? The pitch at the Bollaert stadium in Lens was damaged by a mysterious substance, still undetermined, which could turn out to be acid, reveal our colleagues from The voice of the North and of RMC Sport. RC Lens hosts LOSC this Sunday, and the club, which filed a complaint against X, ensures that the Northern derby can be held.

According to video surveillance images seized by the police, currently being analyzed, two hooded individuals entered the stadium during the night from Thursday to Friday in order to spread a substance in three areas of the field, quite far from each other. The three spots are currently dark in color, and gardeners do not know how they will evolve. Laboratory samples were taken to determine the nature of the product.

Anti-Lensois messages

In addition, the wall of the artesian club’s ticket office as well as a signage were tagged with hostile messages and insults towards the people of Lens. As a reminder, the Lille administrative court confirmed on Friday the order banning the travel of LOSC supporters. A decision contested by the management of the northern club, who do not understand why Arsenal supporters were authorized to go to Artois on Tuesday evening for the Champions League match, and not their fans on Sunday.

Last December, a 23-year-old from Lens, who lived in a tent at the foot of a stand, entered the Bollaert stadium, home of the Sang et Or, drunk in the middle of the night. Result: a degraded lawn and large stocks of food products intended for stolen VIP lounges, recalls the northern daily. The damage then amounted to several tens of thousands of euros.
