The relationship between supporters, the Professional Football League (LFP) and BeIN Sports is not improving. Since the start of the season, the rumblings from the stands have been heard, particularly in Ligue 2 and around the broadcaster. This Saturday in Lens, the Bollaert stadium extended the spectrum of discontent. Supporters displayed several banners to address various criticisms of the league.
To support their messages, they also threw numerous tennis balls, which forced Clément Turpin to interrupt the game between Lens and Nantes for two minutes. Unusual, but increasingly recurring, images of players busy taking out the little yellow balls have flourished on social networks.
Among the banners, complaints have already been made for a while by supporters. “Pressure on the clubs”, “collective sanction”, “scheduling of matches”, “increase in the salaries of managers”, “disciplinary committee”, we could read. Targeted barbs to accompany a more global message: “Your management enrages the stands. Thank you LFP. »
Earlier, this Saturday, Strasbourg supporters also stood out. The result is a shot aimed at the LFP, but also at the broadcaster of the 5 p.m. match: “LFP/BeIN: you are killing French football. » This echoed the encouragement strike by supporters of Ligue 2 clubs, unhappy with the scheduling of matches on Friday rather than Saturday, which does not make it easier for the public to come to the stadiums.
