If today, it was under pavilion 94 that the club found the elite, the craze is that of the time of Tivoli but also of Triffet, the very first stadium of the Louviérois club.
“We have been following the raal for 70 years”, Enthus an enthusiasm Serge and André, from the septuagenarians, very happy to relive this D1 atmosphere in a brand new stadium. With them, the whole story of the club passes in a few minutes. Moved, the two acolytes who do not miss any match of their colors and appreciate this stadium. “”It changes, it’s much more user -friendly than the old one. Above all, there is no longer the athletics track ! It’s much better. “
In any case, there were good people in the VIP stands. Rudi Garcia was indeed present alongside the president. A Prestige guest at the height of the event.
Muets since this epic match in Lommel, and the climb obtained in stoppages, the ultras have found their habits! And all the Louviérois in a global way. Whistle strokes when they did not agree with the referee or applause with each green breakthrough in the Rouches camp.
Thoroughly, what was changing was the absence of the colony of parakeets that took possession of the Tivoli site for a few years and which regularly came to put a little show over the stands at each match.
An atmosphere during the match, in a stadium full on the local side, successful despite the physiognomy of the first period which was far from the standards that the pack of Frédéric Taquin used to offer in recent years.
But the club is today in the circle of the 16 best Belgian teams and just for that, the public was already happy to be there in this Easi Arena which would have deserved a new show, as during the inauguration on June 28. It might be the icing on the cake for an already patient audience before joining the site. A long line had indeed held again 45 minutes from kick -off, straight to the five gantrymen of the only general public entrance. “”Five, it’s not enough !, gets our duo gets carried away. They could easily place a few more. We had come well in advance. “
However, it had no impact for the stadium, no one has missed the start of the Raal’s return to the big bath.
