This Thursday evening, a large delegation of OL fans will travel to Old Trafford to attend the match against Manchester United, an event they would have missed for nothing in the world. Despite the financial constraints that have deterred some from travelling, nearly three thousand Lyon fans are expected to fill the stadium’s visitor park. The atmosphere looks electric, with a strong presence of fans determined to support their team and create a memorable atmosphere.

Before the start of the meeting, a rally of supporters is planned in the centre of Manchester, orchestrated by the Bad Gones and Lyon 1950. The appointment is set at 3 p.m. local on Shambles Square, followed by a procession to Old Trafford, scheduled to start at 8 p.m. The organizers invite fans to regroup at 5:30 p.m. near the stadium to create a lively and noisy parade, thus anticipating the 90 minutes of unconditional support to their team.

The event takes place in the hope that the atmosphere remains friendly and respectful, without incident with Manchester United fans. The organizers want this day to take place in the best of the worlds, highlighting the passion and unwavering support of the Lyon fans, while preserving the security and good understanding between the various supporters’ communities.
