Rugby: Montpellier supporters on the road towards Grenoble to encourage the MHR
|Les supporters du MHR au rendez-vous. LF – LF
Une partie des 3000 supporters du MHR sont partis en bus depuis le parking du GGL Stadium pour rejoindre le stade des Alpes à Grenoble.
In the GGL Stadium parking lot, they were all on time. With the club flags, a jersey, a blue and white hat, makeup in the colors of the MHR, signs glorifying the players and even a soft toy as a mascot.
At midday, two of the six buses full of MHR fans took the road towards Grenoble. The others followed within the hour. The first chants resounded in the bus reserved for groups of supporters – Club du XV du MHR and CHDS du MHR – who began his journey passing in front of the GGL Stadium which they all hoped would not find in Pro D2. "Montpellier, go, go, go", we heard before "Oh pétard", the anthem of Cistes aficionados, was taken up by everyone.< /p>

Between excitement and worry
Several hours before kick-off, emotions were mixed between excitement and worry. Everyone looked for signs of destiny to reassure themselves, others launched into tactical debates. "We have every chance, they imagined. The first twenty minutes will be decisive. We believe in our players."
In the background, we were recalling recent memories of trips to pass the time between two beers or two songs in praise of Montpellier captain Lenni Nouchi and his family.
