Note kickoff time is usually 8 PM and some games might be rescheduled in case of cable TV broadcast.

Big games are likely to be sold out with a capacity crowd of 36,000 and first rate atmosphere.

People are welcome to drop me a line if they're interested in any particular St Etienne home game and I could always try to help and sort them out with tickets and how to get there and stuff. (It's not a lot of bother actually. )
