St Etienne vs Lyon = More fun than Oxford

Last week Lyon strolled to a 3-1 away at fierce local rivals St Etienne. This derby is possibly the most passionate in France - arguably eclipsing the PSG/Marseille rivalry. The game was held up for about half an hour after a flare was thrown into the Lyon fans!!






















St Etienne's ground in known as the Cauldren for reasons which I'm told speak for themselves if you see a game there. The supporters group 'Magic Fans 91' are some of the best in Europe and have a long standing friendship with the Ultramarines 86 of Bordeaux.
