Finalist of the last Pro D2 exercise, Grenoble nevertheless feared being relegated administratively by the DNACG. The Isère club, which had been demoted at first, announced Thursday that this would not be the case and that it had been maintained. On the other hand, he will start next season with a six-point penalty.
The FCG can blow. Beaten on June 3 at home against Perpignan (33-19) during the Access Match, a week after another capital defeat, in the final of the Pro D2 championship against Oyonnax (14-3), this time for the title of division, Grenoble could very well have lost another much more important match. Indeed, the financial difficulties of the Isère club could leave him afraid of having to evolve to the recovery at the lower level.
Moreover, the former resident of Top 14 had been demoted economically by the DNACG at first, before appealing the decision and learning this Thursday with relief that he would leave for a season in Pro D2 despite of this great fear. However, the Grenoble cake will not include any cherry, to say the least. The accounts of the club have indeed earned him a penalty of six points. The Grenoble residents will therefore start the next championship with six points less than the other teams.
