FC LORIENT stars arrived at training to receive a grim warning from their ultras – that included 400kg of rotten fish.
The fish were dumped outside the training ground by the French club’s most fanatical supporters.
The Ligue 1 outfit have struggled this season and are currently 17th in the table.
Results on the pitch have been dreadful with nine losses in 17 matches as well as a 4-0 hammering by rivals Stade Brestois.
The abysmal defeat saw 20-year-old midfielder Kamory Doumbia net all four in the first half.
And fans were left seething after the result as they took action at the club’s training ground.
