“CVB 52 Achieves Hat-trick in Soldout Match at Palestra Despite Tragic News, Chaumont Supporters Keep the Fire Burning”

First since playing at Palestra, CVB 52 sold out on Wednesday 26 April. The supporters exulted to see their players achieve a hat-trick against Nantes-Rezé.

“…and here is the defining moment of the season.” More than a quarter of an hour from the start of the meeting, the first microphone announcement poses inside Palestra the nature of the decor already camped outside. The CVB 52 supporters arrived even earlier than for their match against Saint-Nazaire exactly a week ago, the parking lots were full like eggs almost an hour before the match. For the first time in the history of the club chaumontais tenant of Palestra, this Wednesday, April 26, the shock CVB 52 against Nantes-Rezé is sold out. And again… after chairs have been added…

However, this feverish atmosphere before the match will completely fall, the space of a minute, when a sinister news invites itself: the general manager of the National League Gulan Kervadec is no more. The silence that seemed strictly impossible to imagine sets in immediately: in the stands of Chaumont, the fever of the supporters has nothing to do with agitation disconnected from reality.

The show must go oneven if, on the bleachers, we applied ourselves to go back in power with modesty.

“All together, three…one, two, three…everyone! “. This Wednesday evening, between two bullfighting trumpets, the public shouts to help inspire its volleyball players, stamps their feet, claps their hands, picks up the tempo, Palestra is on fire, the heart of Chaumont is in the process of capsize. “To arms, to arms, we are the Chaumontais, and we are going to win, go Chaumont, go Chaumont…. “Overheating, tonight, there are… 2,048 spectators. “Here, here, it’s Chaumont…”.

So, to see his team, like the valiant little tailor of the Brothers Grimm, attaching a set to his belt, then two… and three, a clamor rose: “and one, and two, and three – zero…. “.

Before a final ovation from a generous public, to which his team had just offered a next meeting at stake. On the field and in the stands, we trust each other. It’s true that we are from Chaumont.
