Stadium swap for Bourg Peronnas v Marseille
Reuters - Monday 13 February 2012, 11:03
The French Cup last 16 game
between Bourg Peronnas and Olympique Marseille will be played at
the Stade Velodrome instead of Saint-Etienne, where the amateurs
were scheduled to host the Ligue 1 powerhouse on Saturday, the
French federation said.
"Following a meeting between officials of Bourg Peronnas and
Olympique Marseille, the French federation has decided that the
last 16 French Cup game between the two clubs would be played at
the Stade Velodrome," the FFF said in a
statement.
Fourth division side Bourg Peronnas were set to play at
neighbouring Saint-Etienne's Geofroy Guichard stadium but the
possibility of snow fall triggered the swap.
