120 km from the Geoffroy-Guichard stadium, in Saône-et-Loire, the heart of a village beats in unison with that of ASSE. Thanks to the initiative of a passionate teacher, the students of La Clayette are preparing to live an unforgettable experience: filling the stands of the Chaudron this Saturday for the Ligue 2 clash against Annecy (8pm).

From chalk to the stands: a contagious passion

Whether at the Le Vieux Moulin nursery school or the Lamartine elementary school, the colors of AS Saint-Étienne have replaced the usual decor. The teacher, an unconditional supporter, has succeeded in her goal: to pass on the Saint-Étienne bug to her students. Between classes, scarves are on display and supporters' chants echo through the playground.

This mobilization did not go unnoticed: the club even shared this surge of enthusiasm on its social networks, welcoming these "new supporters" who came to strengthen the green people.

Love for the jersey, no matter the distance

This unique school trip underscores the enduring passion of Saint-Étienne fans. Despite relegation to Ligue 2, ASSE's aura remains intact. After securing points against Grenoble and Red Star, Les Verts can count on these young voices from the Charolais-Mâconnais region to electrify the stands.

Key figures from this expedition:

1. Distance covered: 120 km.
2. Objective: To push the Greens towards victory against Annecy.
3. Distinguishing feature: A green scarf and a voice ready to chant: "Those who don't jump are not from Saint-Étienne!"
