STADE ARMANDIE

Around 1900, rugby took off on the side of Agen! It is thanks to an English reader and Alfred Armandie that the discipline is gradually integrated into the city's sports panorama. If a first club, the Sporting Club Agenais, has been created, the foundation of the first entity returns to Mr Armandie. It is necessary to wait until 1908 for the SUA to officially track the day. The 1920 s were the scene of the first results of the formation of Lot-et-Garonne, especially with a last square in the 1928-1929 championship. The agenaise story can then begin.
Armandie is 14 400 places and four forums ready to ignite at the rhythm of agenais trials. First there is the oldest Charvet gallery, which hosts the most ardent supporters. There are still a few wooden benches reminiscent of rugby dancing as often said in ovalie. Strong fans, the Armandie Fan's 2000 and the Ovalie 47 is the heart of the singing stadium. She is much more animated than Basquet, the nearby gallery. Top agenais, this is where the entire departed of the SUA is found. Loges, presidential basket… it is the fashionable place on the side of the Lot-et-Garonne.
