Football news


FC Nantes is in the midst of a two and a half week break from Ligue 2. The team is currently in training at Les Sables d'Olonne. Meanwhile, Vertou is still active in its league. In the absence of Nantes football news, the Nantes website featured a report this week on the Vertou game. Vertou played La Baule to a 0-0 tie. Insert *yawn* here. The little tiny photo at the left is from the Nantes website and shows the scene at the Vertou home pitch with banners for Vertou and Nantes promoting the upcoming clash.

In what passes for actual Nantes news the game against Guingamp originally scheduled for December 23 has been moved to December 22 for the convenience of the cameras of Eurosport. **yawn**

Tickets for the Vertou-Nantes matchup are on sale at the stadium and at E. Leclerc. Sideline seats are 10 Euros, seats behind the goals are 5 Euros. Expectations for the crowd are modest, with one reference which I did not completely understand citing the possibility of Vertou playing before 12,000, which would obviously be 20 or 30 times larger than their average crowd.

You get an 'A' for effort. (Yawn.)
