Foot OL – Groupama Stadium empties for Lyon-Nice – Olympique Lyonnais
Deprived of a stadium due to the sanctions and the health gauge, the supporters of Olympique Lyonnais are obviously not lacking in Groupama Stadium.
Next Saturday, under the gaze of the cameras of Canal+ Décalé, Olympique Lyonnais will host OGC Nice as part of the 24th day of Ligue 1. If OL come out of a sad defeat in Monaco, the Gym have done worse falling at home against Clermont. For Peter Bosz’s team, victory is imperative to keep a small chance of finishing on the podium and therefore of taking a ticket for the next Champions League. For this shock, and after the closing of the stands of Groupama Stadium for disciplinary reasons, but also a reduced gauge to 5,000 spectators against PSG and ASSE, one could hope that the fans of Olympique Lyonnais rush on the tickets. to support their team. Obviously, that will not be the case. Because if the Groupama Stadium can accommodate nearly 60,000 spectators, the crowd for the reception of Nice will be a little more than half, even to the point that the club has decided to close certain areas.
The Groupama Stadium half full, or half empty
