"Montpellier HSC, with the agreement of the LFP (French Professional Football League), proposed to Olympique Lyonnais to reverse the clubs' fixtures for the 10th and 28th Matchdays of Ligue 1. Olympique Lyonnais has agreed to reverse these fixtures to give some time for the leaders of MHSC to find a stadium solution," stated the LFP on 09/10/2014.

The Mosson Stadium (capacity 32,950) was damaged by flooding during the night of 06 to 07/10/2014; the pitch, the press room, the locker rooms and some boxes of the Mosson Stadium were heavily affected. "We estimate unavailability of three months. Best case scenario, we hope to get the stadium back in December," said Laurent Nicollin, president of Montpellier HSC, on 07/10/2014

Scheduled for 19/10/2014, the fixture between Montpellier HSC and Olympique Lyonnais (Ligue 1, Matchday 10), to be held at the Mosson Stadium, will thus be play at the Gerland stadium (capacity 42,000) in Lyon.
