Who said that we couldn't stay with an ambitious game by being promoted? Champion of Ligue 2 at the end of the year 2023-2024, AJ Auxerre was not afraid to look everyone in the eyes for his return to the elite. Under the leadership of Christophe Pelissier, the Burgundians had no trouble validating their place in the elite.
11th with 42 points, the Auxerrois impressed throughout a controlled exercise. Performance that allowed the residents of Father Deschamps to easily validate the maintenance with prestige successes against Olympique de Marseille at Stade Rennais twice.
A subscriber record!
Next year, AJA will still play in Ligue 1 with an ever more numerous audience. For the climb, a subscription record had already been broken with more than 12,000 supporters, all in an enclosure yet under construction. As a reminder, the stadium posted an average crowd of 16,600 spectators, a 95 %filling rate. As a reminder, the city of Auxerre has only 35,000 inhabitants.
And for next year, the record will be broken. This is in any case what the club explains in a publication on social networks: “Our subscriber record is not far from being beaten! To come and vibrate with us at Father Deschamps, go to the counters or if the record falls, one of our subscribers will be drawn and will live an unique experience 🤩“, We can read this Thursday.
A nice news for the stable which is expanding its stadium to reach around 20,000 seats. Enough to welcome more than half of the city in a few years, with a number of subscribers which should therefore still grow. And if Pélissier keep the same game ambitions, the fans will feast on.
To summarize
AJ Auxerre, promoted in Ligue 1, impressed by ranking 11th with an ambitious game under Christophe Pelissier. The club broke crowds with an average of 16,600 spectators and aims to increase its subscribers. The expansion stadium promises a bright future for this dynamic club.
