Mino 312 Posted December 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 On Saturday the fifth was the last game in Gerland, the historic OL stadium. http://s.olweb.fr/ol/image/article/illustration_s/g/267/53266.jpg In 1910, the mayor of Lyon, Édouard Herriot, came up with the idea to develop and build a sports stadium with an athletics track and a velodrome in the city. In 1912, the stadium was officially mandated and local architect Tony Garnier was given the reins to designing and constructing it. Construction began in 1914 with hopes that the stadium would be completed before the International Exhibition of 1914. However, due to World War I, construction was temporarily halted, but resumed following the wars conclusion in 1919 with the assistance of a large number of German POWs. By 1920, the stadium was completely functional. In 1926, the Stade de Gerland was inaugurated by Herriot. http://i39.servimg.com/u/f39/15/29/45/83/f1000010.jpg Since 1950 the stadium has been home to French professional football club Olympique Lyonnais Olympique Lyonnais who play in Ligue 1, France's highest football division. Lyon moved into the stadium as a result of splitting from the Lyon Olympique Universitaire sport club, which played at the Stade des Iris. The record attendance for a Ligue 1 match is 48,552 for a derby match between Olympique Lyonnais and AS Saint-Étienne in 1982. http://i41.servimg.com/u/f41/11/01/61/66/stade_11.jpg Stade de Gerland at its actual configuration : http://www.airtechphoto.fr/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/IMG_3998-Copier.jpg After the club's relocation, we don't know what will become Gerland. Maybe its capacity will be reduced to host rugby games (local team LOU) or maybe it will be partially destroyed.OL will move to the new stadium in now 3 weeks !! So, Saturday fifth was the last game ! We did a nice celebration by inviting all OL players who played for the club, including legends like Sonny Anderson, Juninho, Cris, Bernard Lacombe, Coupet, Govou, and others ! http://s.olweb.fr/ol/image/article/illustration_s/g/280/55863.jpg http://s.olweb.fr/ol/image/phototheque/V3-940/204/40647.jpg http://s.olweb.fr/ol/image/phototheque/V3-940/204/40653.jpg http://s.olweb.fr/ol/image/phototheque/V3-940/204/40679.jpg http://s.olweb.fr/ol/image/phototheque/V3-940/204/40694.jpg The construction site is almost done ! Just a few finish to add and done !Then it's a new history page !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
