The Doubs club accepts its decision to have kept its share of the revenue from the meeting against the northern team.
Beater of Béthune (4-2) at the Hermant Deprez stadium in the north of France, FC Sochaux did not leave its share of the ticket revenue to the Regional 1 club as is the custom when a professional club faces a small team of amateurs.
The Doubistes who play in the National even attracted the wrath of Jean-Guy Wallemme, the coach of Béthune, estimating in the Voix du Nord that he had “a minimum amount of respect to have.”

A criticism that is difficult to pass on to FC Sochaux which is emerging from a serious financial crisis. “ We are a professional club but which plays in a non-professional championship », recalled President Clément Calvez to the Est-Républicain.
“I remind you that we have laid off people and that we have just asked Pays de Montbéliard Agglomération to make efforts to reduce the rent of the Bonal stadium. It would be clumsy and unwelcome to at the same time leave €6,000 to a club which is six hours from us. We too have a duty of good management!” insisted the leader.
