Three of us in the car had visited Loyers back on 25th November 2012, where, oddly enough, we saw the same opposition as tonight lose 4-0 in front of 93 spectators. The game was played on Stade Nicolas Loyers, which was a wonderful ground, full of character and still in place. There was a new clubhouse, that was halfway through construction, taking shape behind the top goal. This is now along the side of the newly constructed 3G Pitch that is now home to the first team. The new ground is so bland and unfortunately it is the way so many clubs are now heading, in what they call progress.

Loyers were in second place in the league table, behind Nismes on goal difference. Beauraing were fourteenth, which is three off the bottom. The match was simply dreadful, although Beauraing certainly didn’t look like a team near the bottom and quite how Loyers can now be top of the league following this point is beyond me. Even more ridiculous, is the thought that they could be playing in the Belgian League next season !
