It is now ten days since the FFF officially whistled the end of all amateur championships by giving its criteria retained for climbs and descents, namely the average points in the classification of March 13. A choice which makes the misfortune of the FC Lunéville, however leader of the group B of R1 for several weeks but preceded by very little in the classification of the quotients by its dolphin, the reserve of the ASNL which disputed a match of less. With 28 points in 14 games, the Lunévillois have an average of 2 straight points per day against an average of 2.07 for the Nancéiens (27 pts in 13 games).

“A profound injustice”
Since then, the Grand Est League has published a press release to delay. But for Lunévillois, prevention is better than cure. “We have just filed an appeal with the CNOSF” reveals the coach Michel Swistek, “We live the criteria of the FFF as a deep injustice. We raced ahead, we beat ASNL in direct confrontation and, in the end, we risk being deprived of the climb for having played one more game than Nancy. However, it is an implacable logic: the more you compete for meetings, the more complicated it is to maintain a high pace. If the ASNL passes in front of us with its postponed match at Villerupt, it is as if the authorities gave it this winning match without having played it. With any result other than a victory at Villerupt, Nancy would have finished behind us. With a draw, the ASNL would also have had 28 points but it would have been beaten because it is a reserve team “.

Nancy’s match at Villerupt postponed three times!
Another reason for anger for the trainer from Lille: the ASNL match at Villerupt postponed three times! “For our part, we wanted to postpone our home game against Pagny. We tried, let’s put it bluntly, because our workforce was reduced and our green land was in bad shape. But the Grand Est League answered us in substance: “Play on your synthetic in fallback, otherwise the meeting will be reversed.” Finally, we received Pagny on the green and we lost… We therefore wonder how Villerupt was able to postpone its reception of the ASNL three times, all the more so since the synthetic of the Villerupt club was used by the club two of three weekends in question… ”.

“Two accessions in the rare championships that pose a problem”
Michel Swistek specifies that “FC Lunéville is not fighting against Nancy” and he even pushes his reasoning further: “We must go up in N3 with the reserve of the ASNL which has nothing to do with this story ! There are no other contentious cases in our League championships, except in an R2 pool with Gandrange and Nousseviller, so it would suffice to grant two accessions in the rare championships that pose a problem. “
