Good Evening to All;
I have hesitated a long time before making this post but I now think this is important to make it.
To all those travelling to Monaco next Saturday, I feel this is important you have some knowledge about the french riviera football context.
To summarize, there are 3 big Ligue 1 Clubs in "La Cote D'Azur".
Nice, Monaco and Marseille.
Marseille is not really on the Cote D'Azur but is the major Club in the south east of France.
Marseille, Nice and Monaco fans very much dislike eachother.
Marseille, and Nice fans hate each other.
Whereas Marseille and Nice Fans hate Monaco because this Club has always been very rich (even more now with Russian owner) with a rather poor support in Monaco and a very poor attendance.
Most of the French most fanatical fans from the northern part of France (above Loire River) support their team in a more “English way” of doing things. (much vocals but no much apart from that).
I am mostly thinking of Lille, Valenciennes, Lens, Rennes, Lorient, Brest, Nantes, Caen, Le Havre, Nancy, Reims; etc.)
Most of the French most fanatical fans from the southern part of France (especially South East France) support their team in a more “Italian way” of doings things.
Marseille, Nice, Bastia, Ajaccio; Montpellier to name the Clubs where the atmosphere is the most
intimidating.
Marseille, Nice are by far the 2 biggest Clubs.
There are vocals but fumigens and bringing “tools” to the game in also seen as something “normal”.
We must be aware of that.
This is something you must be all very aware of.
Some others Clubs like Lyon, Bordeaux or St Etienne have several huge groups of Fans.
Some of them (in the same club) have a english way to support their Club (Magic Fans St Etienne) and the other group makes it the italian way (Green Angels St Etienne).
That’s why different groups backing the same Club sometimes fight against each other because they don’t have the same “policy” regarding to how support their Club.
As I have just mentioned, it is a rather “usual” thing that Ultras from these Football Clubs
( Nice comes first to mind) sometimes use dirty tricks (and material like baseball bats, knives, etc...) when they face each other or when they go to the game.
They have several groups of supporters in Nice.
Some of them being "influenced " with some political ideas.
Mostly extreme rights ideas.
Here are the names of Nice supporters Group.
Brigades Sud Nice 1985 (BSN 1985) Around 800 members with the card of the group but
around 2000 persons on matchday with that group on matchday.
This group was declared illegal in 2010 following problems with violence in the french football.
Some other groups as follow.
Brigades Sud Nice Parigi.1994. (50 members)
Secioun Nissarda 1997.(20 members)
Armada Rumptetada Nissarda 2001.(300 members)
The different groups that were declared illegal by French government in 2010 were as follow:
PSG PSG 1970 La Grinta
Supras Auteuil 91
Les Authentiks
Commando Loubard
Milice Paris
Nice
Brigades Sud Nice 1985
Lyon
Cosa Nostra
KOB (Kop Of Boulogne) Group was already declared illegal from 2008.
Here are a few films about the BSN 1985.

To anyone who knows a little bit about French football, the BSN 1985 is quite “famous”.
They are not babies and very much like to prove themselves against “any opposition”.
They don't follow any rules contrary to the groups from Northern Europe.
You could be involved in a fight whereas you could be not involved in any manner in this fight.
There is a huge probability some Nice fans and probably BSN members will make
the very short trip to Monaco.
1 ) Hugo Lloris is a 100% pure Nicois and he has left a great memories to most Nice fans.
Some Nice fans will probably buy tickets in our away stand.
(Nice Fans would never sit in Monaco Home Stands).
Some Lyon Fans might also come (because they also have great memories with Lloris who captain them for several years) and if they also buy tickets in “our away stand”, there might be troubles.
Indeed, Lyon also have several Ultras Groups.
The biggest of them being the Bad Gones 1987 with around 2500 members.
They are located in the North Stand in Le Stade Gerland.
The second biggest one is Lyon 1950 (formerly named Cosa Nostra- declared illegal in 2010)
They are located in the South Stand in Le Stade Gerland. (around 300 members).
Both Lyon biggest Ultras Groups are very closed of extreme rights organisations.
Lyon Ultras of the Bad Gones even have a special friendship with Real Madrid Ultras Sur.………..
Lyon Ultras have been involved several times with homophobic, racist ans anti-Semitic acts…
I won’t comment more on here…
Here is a link for those interested.
(this is a French article but very interested to any get some knowledge in the French language).

If Nice Fans, Lyon Fans, and Spurs Fans are located together in the same stand, I don’t really know what we can expect……………
Nice groups and Lyon groups usually hate each other but when it comes to the Tottenham Yids, maybe they would join against us.
I am not saying this will happen, I am just saying that as Spurs Fan, we must be aware that it may happen.
Even if some Spurs fans don’t consider themselves as “Yids”, almost any Ultras group whose team is facing Spurs don’t see us as Spurs but as the Yids.
And for Lyon or Nice groups, Tottenham (Yids) is a Big Scalp to take.
(the vast majority of you travelling in Europe probably know what I mean).
2 ) Niçe fans dislike Monaco.
Because Nice has the support and Monaco has very little support but much money.
3 ) Some guys of the BSN very much like to prove themselves against the fans from Europe.
And they will probably gonna grab their chance when Spurs to visit their neighbors Monaco on next Saturday.
Even if the huge majority (all) of us fly to Nice to enjoy “La Cote d’Azur’ with its sea, (sex) ans sun, we must know that there is a small (but real) possibility that we get a “special” welcome from the Nice local fans.
Indeed, on next Saturday, it will be only week until the beginning of the Ligue 1 Season start and Nice will have a new Stadium and will also be involved in European competition for the first time in years. (Europa League).
Facing English Fans could be a really good “test” for them.
I know that for Spurs fans, this is only a friendly in mega Rich Monaco vs a great team but for with the sun and the sea in the background but for some locals fans, this might be a great chance to grab when Spurs to visit their neighbors Monaco on next saturday
Even if the huge majority (all) of us fly to Nice to enjoy “La Cote d’Azur’ with its sea, (sex) ans sun, we must know that there is a small (but real) possibility that we get a “special” welcome from the Nice local fans.
Nevertheless, I am pretty confident we would have no problems.
I think this is important not to behave like invaders (and behave badly due to excess of alcohol) when we’ll get back from Monaco to Nice after the match.
Indeed, Nice fans feel very proud of themselves and would feel offened if some English nationals would behave like if the city belongs to them.
If you behave like well behaved tourists and not like bad mannered invaders,
You’ll all enjoy the pleasures of Nice without trouble….
I wish you all a great match and a nice stay on La Cote D’Azur.
Maybe we’ll meet there and have a bier in Nice after the game
I don’t know Nice better than you as this will be my first stay there.
You’ll be able to know me (with a mate of me) as I will get the flag of our group “Swiss Spurs” and the French Flag (as we are French and we get French players in the squad).
See you soon.
Alex.
