“We are horrified by the letter sung Wednesday night. We immediately express our outrageand a feeling of shame came over each of us. Such an act is unjustifiable”begins Jean-Pierre Rivere.
Despite the fact that he understands that what happened is intolerable, the president of the club considers that closing the area occupied by the ultras of the entity is punishing the just for sinners: “Faced with the intolerable, what measures do we have, closing an entire forum? Punish more than 5,000 people without distinction? It is unfair and ineffective. Our wish is that only identified troublemakers are punished.”
“The ‘Capo’ who animated the stands on Wednesday received a sanction from the club. It goes into effect this weekend. This in-depth work will continue in the coming days.in particular during the investigation carried out by our services and the authorities after the complaints filed & rdquor ;, assures Nice.
