That could be true around Marseille. Rugby teams are from the southern part of the country, mainly.
People around me either prefer football or dismiss it completely. None really cares about rugby, except for my bro'.
He doesn't like football, considers it too messy.
Regarding Marseille, it is the French football team that has the biggest support (as showed in the Europa League semis when the crowd really did something for the players).
The team I support by going to the stadium twice a season, Rennes, never achieved much, has hardly been on the brink of relegation, I'm always amazed at how boisterous the opponent supporters are (especially when they travel from far away).
I'd like to go to Crystal Palace to see what it's like, or was it Fulham?
Anyway, sausages are great before the game, as 3 foreign teams will discover, since Rennes will play the Europa League. I'll try to catch one of those games to feel the difference.
