Stade Bollaert Delelis

RC Lens - Havre AC 3-4

Ligue 1, 1 March 2025

On a sunny Saturday I am going to the North of France for a one day trip in the holiday week of Carnival. We are first visiting the nice village of Arras which is 15 kilometres south of Lens.  Later in the afternoon we go to Lens itself. There is nothing to see and almost all restaurants closed. We should have stayed longer in Arras. In a cafe acrross the railway station we can however drink a beer and a coke and have a burger with french fries. From the entire city you can see the high stands of the stadium. The stadium is sold out as always. In this stadium fit more people than Lens has as inhabitants. It is a real club of the region and the fans are making a great atmosphere. Within 30 seconds after the whistle blows, "Sang et Or" gets a penalty and also the second goals falls early in the game. Really promissing but the team collapses and eventually loses 3-4. A lot of goals seen tonight but we still have a 2,5 hour trip back home to drive this evening.

Tickets:
