Thanks for the info on Sabo, StarrMatthieu. His friend isn't bad, either! Here's another site I found to follow Strasbourg: http://www.livefootball.com/football/france/cfa-group-b/ with tabs for fixtures, results, etc. At the moment, they are in 2nd place in the CFA (Group B), 2 points behind Mulhouse.
6,892 avg. Way ahead of Grenoble (2nd) in CFA B. For CFA thats a excellent number. Just to compare, the CFA A attendance leader is Dunkirk (700 avg), CFA C leader is Cannes (1,500 avg), and CFA D attendance leader is Les Herbiers (1,079 avg.) http://www.foot-national.com/2012-2...-type-domicile-spectateurs-journees-1-34.html
i thought la meinau was even bigger than that but SM is right on the money. i've been to all or parts of 4 CFA matches at lyon and attendanc has ranged from 150 to 6-700. the rise of RCS in any measure or terms can only be a good thing. more important than the canaries imo.
Adding the Alsace to their name seems pointless. Even Nantes dropped the "Atlantique" from their name a while ago.

So I noticed that 6 clubs are relegated from National and there are 4 groups in the CFA. How does promotion work? The 2 best second place teams go up??
6 clubs are getting relegated because the National is going back to 18 teams next year so its just the CFA winners. However, it seems that every year there are additional clubs that get relegated for financial reasons. So if youre a 2nd place CFA team you always have a chance to go up due to the instabilty of National clubs. Either it was last year or 2 years ago I remember Cannes got relegated from the National to the CFA for financial reasons.
What an amazing last day of the season. Strasbourg promoted with a dramatic 3-2 win against Raon L'Etap who were in first place before the match. RCSA jumped from 3rd to first!!
Strasbourg, having been promoted to "the National," is already focusing on the upcoming season: http://www.rcstrasbourgalsace.fr/actualites/2013-2014-calendrier-de-la-reprise
Thinking of what Hummel stands for in denmark (its a danish brand) with its retro style and what Hummel did with a über cool job for japanese League club Gainare Tottori this year, these Strassbourg uniforms are really dissappointing.
I really liked these from 2008. In fact, I'm continously searching eBay for one of these or the away. Cool site: http://www.colours-of-football.com/colours03/fra/strasbourg/strasbourg_1.html
After two matches, Racing is on 4 points, tied for 2nd with Paris FC. Match Day 1: Red Star 0 - 0 Strasbourg Match Day 2: Strasbourg 2 - 0 ES Uzes Pont du Gard
And just after I posted that, in the 89th minute, they score two in injury time to win!!!!!!!!! ALLEZ RCSA!!!
I was shocked to see that they won today. They'd better win out, if they want to stay up! Personally, I'm not counting on it, but I hope they do.
