I know this is a little ahead (especially since i'm a psg fan and we have a big game against you guys this week) ... but thought i might get it A LITTLE started... this is from l'equipe.fr

Foot - L1 : Saint-Etienne-Lyon à guichets fermés

L'AS Saint-Etienne, qui recevra le 11 décembre (à 21h00) l'Olympique lyonnais pour le compte de la 18e journée de Ligue 1, jouera dans un stade Geoffroy-Guichard plein.

Après les rencontres face à Marseille (12e journée) et Bordeaux (16e journée), ce match contre l'OL sera joué de nouveau à guichets fermés. Plus de 35.000 spectateurs sont attendus pour ce derby du championnat de France, dont les places se sont vendues en moins de 48 heures.

*******
for those who don't understand french, it basically says that the lyon game at st. etienne on Dec 11th has been sold out... this will be the third game at GG (Geoffroy-Guichard) where not one seat will be left... so more than 35,000 are expected after having sold every single ticket in less than 48 hrs!

The match, for those in the states, will not be shown in the regular 3:00 EST time slot. They're moving it back two hours to show an Argentinian game live instead.
