70 caravans are pitched at both the stadium and the AS Bessens car park. The club moved its activity to Pompignan.
Since May 12, AS Bessens has been homeless. The fault lies with a group of 70 caravans of Travelers who took over the main field, training ground and car park. “They come every year in June, but they come earlier,” commented TomyPonsonnet, the president of the club. The problem is that there are still games left and we will not be able to train or play. Fortunately, as we have an agreement with Pompignan, the football school can operate, but the parents are forced to travel. The problem is that with the rain in recent weeks, we don’t know how we will find the pitches…”

The mayor, Adrien Raphet, who led a revolt against the project to install a new photovoltaic plant in his town during his time, appears fatal. “They came for the first time in 2021. When I wanted to call the police, I was told that I might get angry and it would not end well, or I would negotiate. I obviously chose the second option. From now on, they have warned me in advance but this year they came even earlier and that caused problems for the football club. The population is still a little worried about this situation, but the root of the problem is that we do not respect the law and the department’s plan. So we do not resort to public force. Obviously I am calling for the creation of high traffic areas as soon as possible. »
