“As long as the ball rolls, the football stadium of Montcabrier will not succumb to the bitumen of the A69″. This is the new idea of the opponents of the Castres-Toulouse motorway, ready to pull up their socks to block the road to the diggers. And, in this case, to prevent them from destroying the football stadium of the small Tarn village of 353 inhabitants which, as confirmed by the mayor Didier Balaval, will no longer belong to the municipality from this Thursday, June 15 but to the dealer of the work, Atosca, which will be able to begin its archaeological surveys there.
The concept, from 8 o’clock, is therefore to start “endless football” there, even if it means entering the Guinness Book. “No break, the coffee will be drunk on the ball in an infernal relay where everyone is invited to come and kick the football, for an hour, a day, or more”, encourages LVEL who has opened slots registration.
The land will not be rebuilt
The mayor learned of the operation on the networks. “It’s true that it’s a page of fifty years that is turning,” he comments, “We didn’t ask for anything but it’s difficult to oppose a highway when you’re a small town , so we negotiated to be compensated for the damage”. The municipal team does not intend to build another field. “We will bounce back differently in sport,” said Didier Belaval. But the village leisure team will have to find another fire ground.
