Since we can’t go to the Roudourou stadium in Guingamp anymore, I had told Jean-Baptiste we would go and see them play in Lyon and Annecy. So last Sunday, we were in Lyon for one of the big games of the year. The stadium was packed.
We found the visitors entrance fairly easily and were among the first ones to arrive. Some joined us later. There were about 100 of us, most of us had come all the way from Brittany, but a fair number were from the region. It was good fun. We lost, but we had a great time with Guingamp supporters, singing and supporting the team.
At the end of the game, it was a new experience for us. We had to stay in until the stadium was empty before we could leave the place.
We went back to the tube under the rain, queued with everyone else, but by the time we got into the tube, most people had gone. We met a few other Guingamp supporters who had made the journey especially from a village near Guingamp for the event. We arrived home safely after an uneventful train journey.
