France should not host major finals after the Stade de France debacle in Paris last May, according to a leading French fan advocate who sits on the Independent Review into the Champions League final crowd-control issues commissioned by UEFA.
Ronan Evain, executive director of Football Supporters' Europe, who attended the final as an accredited observer through UEFA's observation programme and who is part of the review run by Dr Tiago Brandao Rodrigues, says French policing methods are so archaic that UEFA should take a stance and insist no more finals are hosted at the Stade de France.
