Paris St. Germain Fans Barred From Attending Match Against Olympique De Marseille

Paris St. Germain supporters "will not be allowed to attend their team's Ligue 1 clash against Marseille this weekend following a ruling by local authorities," according to Mark Rodden of ESPN.com. PSG is due to visit the Stade Vélodrome on Sunday evening "but police in Marseille have decided not to allow PSG fans access to the ground." Five-hundred PSG supporters had hoped to attend the game, but local police Prefect Laurent Nunez said that there was "too great a risk of public order troubles." Lyon supporters were "barred from going" to the Stade Vélodrome earlier this season "for similar reasons." The absence of visiting supporters for a game involving these two sides "is nothing new." Marseille fans "boycotted the reverse fixture in October in protest at the number of tickets they were afforded as well as high parking prices around the Parc des Princes" (ESPN.com, 2/22).
