The loyalty of the oldest supporters put in the spotlight
Some surprises also interrupted the debates.
The projection of the immersion video in the new Performance Center first allowed those who had not yet seen it to discover the new ultra-modern work tool that AS Monaco now has at its disposal.
Paul Mitchell and Philippe Clement took the opportunity to explain the importance for the Club of being able to rely on such infrastructures in its quest for performance/to achieve its objectives.
The audience was then invited to take part in a quiz on the history of AS Monaco, the winner of which had the joy of leaving with a jersey signed by the team’s players and received from the hands of Philippe Clément.
Finally, because the Club is particularly grateful to its supporters most attached to the Rouge & Blanche colours, three of its oldest subscribers were honoured: Raymond Viano, his brother Marcel Viano aka “Marsou” and Patrice Beill.
Faithful to AS Monaco for several decades, at the origin of the creation of Allobroges, the antenna of CSM supporters in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, they were invited to go on stage where Jean-Emmanuel de Witt, Paul Mitchell and Philippe Clement symbolically gave them each a jersey to thank them for their unconditional support.
Cocktail and entertainment to prolong the pleasure
At the end of this moment of proximity, without filter, appreciated by all the subscribers present, the latter were invited to enjoy the cocktail and the entertainment offered.
Virtual reality helmet, table football, photobooth, pop-up shop, not to mention the presence of Bouba for the little ones…there was something for everyone!
This did not prevent some from preferring to play extra time with Jean-Emmanuel de Witt, Paul Mitchell or coach Philippe Clément, extremely available to deepen the subjects mentioned a little earlier and answer new questions.
