Allez, allez allez allez, l'OM, l'OM...
Getting to know the Marseillais is that little bit easier if you know about their football team. Olympique de Marseille is perhaps the best supported team in France, and a night out in the raucous open Stade Velodrome watching OM play is well worth the 30 or 40 euro you may have to pay. This season, 2002-03, they are on the verge of winning the league...
Allez!!!!!
A scarf (it gets chilly in the stade, and you best make sure it's white or blue!!!) Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: Stade VelodromeDirections: Past the Rond-point du Prado, follow the hordes wearing white and skyblue.

The Stade/Velodrome is the home of Olympique Marseille. It holds 60000 spectators and is the largest club stadium in France. It was built in 1937 for the soccer championships in 1938. Just recently there were plans to make it even larger (to hold up to 80000), but there were protests about the high costs, so this plan was not accomplished.
In front of the stadium you can rollerscate, which lots of people did, when we were there on a sunday morning. Leave a Comment

The local club is one of the best known in European football (read: soccer). They
have won the Champions League in the 90ties and were relegated to lower divisions for financial irregularities of Tapie, their then boss. Like the story of Princess turned Cinderella again...
However, now the club is no the rise and is one of the top team in the highest division of
French football league. Leave a Comment Theme: Sports Watching

 About half an hour before kick
off by kop-queen
I have to say that the home fans attempts at atmoshere was pretty poor - I'm afraid if you need a PA system and megaphones it doesn't impress me much. By the time they were losing 3 or 4 nil they seemed to lose interest in the game and then spent their time either fighting amongst themselves or were they playing some form of tick? Thanks to the strong wind all the fireworks and flares that were aimed in our direction never reached us.
However they do have a decent element of fans and it was good to exchange mutual applause and sing a few songs to each other when the game was over and we were held back (as is the normal) for another half hour in the bitterly cold weather.
If you visit in the winter dress very warmly! Leave a Comment

Home of Olympique de Marseille
Home for the day, on 15 June 1998, of England and Tunisia fans.
Huge place, 60,000 seats. You'd better hope for decent weather, as there is much protection from the elements.
