25/03 MUSC France take legal action MUSC-France wishes to inform you of the following : UEFA has given its verdict and fined Manchester
United €9,256
(CHF 15,000) for « the improper conduct » of the United
fans at the Lille away game, which included the setting-off of ONE
flare. A CRS policeman was quick to react and took several photographs
from the Trannin stand top tier, where the MUSC France members were
gathered. UEFA has understandably no power to sanction
the police who set off tear-gas in an enclosed area, which is much
more dangerous than
a flare… In order to give more weight to our complaint, MUSC France invites any person victim or witness of the incidents in Lens to write to the Public Prosecutor. Bellow you'll find a letter plan with the translation of the sentences we recommend you use. We would be very grateful if you could send MUSC France a copy of your complaints.
Le 26 mars 2007 A l’attention de : Monsieur le Procureur de la République Objet : Plainte contre X à l’occasion du match de football LOSC-MAN UTD du 20 février 2007 Monsieur
le Procureur de la République Je soussigné (your name), habitant (your town & country), ai l'honneur de me joindre à la plainte de l’association MUSC-France reçue à votre greffe le 12 mars 2007. En effet, j’ai été témoin ou victime des faits suivants : (Write your story here, in english) Veuillez agréer, Monsieur le Procureur de la République, l'expression de ma considération distinguée.

("I, (name), have the honour of adding
my name to the complaint lodged by the association MUSC France
which was received by the office
of the clerk of the court on 12th March 2007. 23/02 LILLE CROWD PROBLEM
We booked our tickets on general sale in December at Lille Stadium but certain of our members didn't buy their tickets through us and they find themselves everywhere in the stadium amongst Lille Supporters. The stewards seeing this moved some of them to the MUFC stand, causing what would apperar being a good hundred or more supporters being obliged to join the MUFC area (so not a question of "false tickets" as I heard from the french side on TV) I must confess I was afraid for a few minutes that it could become very serious. Luckily, nothing worse happened but : I can't understand the following: 1- why there was only one entrance in a small corridor to get into the stand so that you had a sort of jam forming and people getting being pushed against the fence 2- why there were no stewards inside the stand to guide people and to move them away from the entrance 3- why there is still a high fence blocking the only safe exit in case of emergency. 4- why the only response of the security people was the police force firing tear gas, annoying and frightening disbelieving supporters In contradiction to what I have heard on the BBC, I can also witness that no one was targeted by the Lille fans who where next to us in the upper tier. The Lille fans behaved well in our tier. We
have asked all our members who were present to inform us what they
saw, heard and to send us their photos and their films. We will
send a full dossier as soon as possible and we are seriously thinking
about lodging a complain. 14/02 ROUGH GUIDE TO LILLE EURO AWAY AT LENS
