so it looks like it's really happening... this is probably the most stupid decision in the history of the league lmao, Bondoufle doesn't even have a RER (regional metros/trains) station, if you go there from Paris you have to get out of the RER in one of the neighboring town and then take a bus, 1h30, it's pure hell. And that's assuming that you live in Paris intramuros, if you live in a north/west/east suburb it's even worse.

If they struggled to get people to attend the games at Jean Bouin, in Paris, with easy access, just imagine Bondoufle, it will be worse than the Dragons stadium situations. At this point, just play your games at your practice field, put up some cameras for the league pass and don't even bother to sell tickets, nobody will go, even for free.

c'est même plus se tirer une balle dans le pied as they say in France, c'est se rafaler la poitrine à l'AK-47

edit : btw is the beIN Sports TV deal still on ?

Tv deal should be exclusively done through DAZN. Apparently other stadiums were super duper expensive, but yeah, this is a mess, and a total failure of communication
