Ultras' codes

This hibernation probably responds to the ultras' codes according to which an association whose banner is stolen must symbolically go into hibernation. This is what happened Friday evening in Châteauroux, when Nîmes supporters were attacked by hooded individuals armed with iron bars. These same individuals then stole the Gladiators' outdoor banner.

The attackers could be from Montpellier, according to several testimonies. An investigation is underway.
