Very tense end to the season in Saint-Étienne.
The Saint-Etienne club, which is fighting to stay in Ligue 1, saw Metz take eighteenth place on Saturday evening and find themselves virtually relegated and without control of their destiny before the final day of the championship on Saturday.
A situation linked to the defeat of the Greens (1-2) against Reims in a match played behind closed doors after jets of smoke against Monaco in April.
Blocked outside Geoffroy-Guichard, supporters again threw smoke bombs and firecrackers after the defeat of theirs.
But others went further later that night.
According to RMC and Le Progrès, the home of Roland Romeyer, chairman of the board and co-owner of ASSE, was targeted.
The wall limiting the property, located in Haute-Loire, and the gate were thus tagged with several offensive messages.
Firecrackers and smoke bombs were also thrown towards his house around 1:30 a.m. before the gendarmerie intervened and scared away the perpetrator(s).
A complaint was then filed.
The two presidents often targeted by supporters
Roland Romeyer and Bernard Caïazzo, chairman of the supervisory board and other co-owner of the club, are regularly targeted by hostile songs and by criticism from the ultras, who demand their departure.
The two men put AS Saint-Étienne up for sale, but found no buyer who met their guarantees.
After its defeat against Reims, Saint-Étienne no longer has its destiny in its hands.
Metz has the same number of points, 31, but has a better goal average.
The Stéphanois, in Nantes during the last day, must do better than the Lorrains, traveling to the Parc des Princes, to grab 18th place.
This is synonymous with a barrage against the third, fourth or fifth in Ligue 2.
