The Stade Niçois greets its supporters for the last championship match before entering the short-lived “consolation” Yves-du-Manoir tournament.
While the season should be considered positive and promising for the future from a sporting perspective, how can we not regret those administrative mistakes that led to a 10-point penalty in the standings and dashed the hopes of playing for promotion to Pro2?
Even if this goal was not on this year’s agenda, it remains true that this blunder is a “wound” in the club’s governance. Moreover, the team felt its impact with two defeats at Bédarrides and Hyères.
This afternoon, Bourgoin, leading the group standings even in case of defeat, will arrive at Les Arboras for a match that could have been… and yet will not be!
For the Niçois, the challenge will be to thwart the leader. Bourgoin will be focusing on the rest of its season, with participation in the playoffs for promotion.
Both are quality teams that will surely provide the public with a pleasant afternoon on this Easter day.
