2nd best attendance of the start of the Ligue 1 season

Meanwhile, RC Lens played the 2013-14 season in Ligue 1, but it was particularly difficult. Last season was almost played behind closed doors. And if not he evolved in Ligue 2, however with attendance sometimes greater than 30,000. But not up to more than 35,000, like this Sunday. It is, casually, the second best attendance so far in Ligue 1, after PSG – Strasbourg and pending OM – FCGB. It is notably better than Lyon, Lille, Bordeaux or the opponent of the day Saint-Etienne, for their first at home, in enclosures larger than that of the RCL. It will be necessary to confirm for the hot and happy Lensois public, at the next meetings, at home.
