Ninety years is worth celebrating. For the anniversary of their favorite club, AS Saint-Étienne, three groups of supporters organized multiple activities, Saturday April 6, 2024, ahead of the reception of Concarneau, in Ligue 2 Nearly 5,000 Stéphanois dressed in green strolled through the city before reaching the Geoffroy-Guichard stadium, also nicknamed the Cauldron. But before that, the meeting had taken place in the François-Mitterrand park.

A song in front of 5,000 people

On a stage set up for the festivities, 36 students from the Marie-Rivier school in Chanac, aged 7 to 11, took the microphone. All together, they sang their song Caudron, tribute to the green people, written by their choir teacher and school director, Jean-François Moulin, and composed by Guillaume Caparos. "I didn’expect it to take on such magnitude, admits Jean-François Moulin. We saw fans surprised and taken aback because it wasn't a tribute to the club, the tribute was to them."

From the stage, a crowd stood in front of the children. DR

Building on their success, the little Lozériens performed their song a second time, in front of more than 5,000 people. "The children were impressed but they did not feel in danger, even among the smoke bombs", continues the teacher.< /p>

On the lawn on April 27?

After this success, the beautiful story does not stop there. It will certainly continue to be written on April 27, during the match between AS Saint-Étienne and Caen. "Dominique Rocheteau, who is our godfather, pushed with the management so that we could sing before the meeting, on the lawn !" s’ enthusiasm Jean-François Moulin. While waiting for a positive response from the Professional Football League (LFP), the Chanacois are giving themselves the right to dream. "It would no longer be the icing on the cake, it would be fireworks !"

In the meantime, the children play the stars until the end by making the video clip for their song. To do this, they are accompanied by Alexandre Vieux, from Fabrik à Images.

The schoolchildren were then able to attend the match against Concarneau. DR
