Sang et Or supporters were banned from traveling to Montpellier following a prefectural decree.
RC Lens supporters are prohibited from traveling to the Ligue 1 match on Friday in Montpellier, according to a prefectural decree taken in line with the recommendations made by the Minister of Sports.
Amélie Oudéa-Castéra explained on Tuesday that it was necessary to “decide on a moratorium on supporter travel”, affirming “that we cannot accept this situation”.
The order from the Hérault prefecture was motivated by the “repeated nature of events likely to disturb public order since the launch of the French football championship” this season. On Saturday a Nantes supporter was killed during an altercation, when several VTC vehicles transporting Nice supporters were attacked by Nantes fans. A VTC driver was indicted and imprisoned on Monday.
If the prefect recognizes the non-existence of “disputes between the supporters of the two clubs”, he considered it “necessary to take appropriate police measures”.
“This meeting will be an opportunity to observe the attitude of the ultra Butte Paillade 91 group,” warns the prefect, two months after the throwing of a firecracker on the field by a Montpellier supporter, which injured the Clermont goalkeeper , and ten days after the stone-throwing of a bus of Brest supporters as they left the city.
On December 18, a meeting will bring together the National Supporterism Authority (INS) in the presence of the Professional Football League (LFP) and the Ministries of the Interior, Justice and Sports.
