On matchday
The Magic Fans sing on their feet in the Kop Nord, and the Kop Sud fills the other end. The ground's nickname, le Chaudron, comes from a Yugoslav journalist struck by the noise, the winter fog and the factory smoke round the stadium in 1974; it is also called “l'enfer vert”, the green hell.
