From the Gunners to the Trotters, club nicknames don’t really mean a great deal anymore – but that’s not the case for Guingamp.

The French side, known as ‘The Farmers’, take their nickname very seriously and so do the supporters, who are showing the term is alive and kicking this weekend.

Before the club’s Coupe de France final against Rennes, hundreds of supporters headed to the Parc des Princes stadium for the match – in tractors.

That’s right, forget trains, planes or cars, Guingamp fans, many of whom are actual farmers, opted to trundle to the final in their tractors.


The journey usually takes about four and half hours by car, but some fans feared it might take them so long, they reportedly set off a day before and slept in their vehicles.
