FC Twente v Aberdeen

[swaddon]

On Saturday 4th July, the Dons will take on Dutch outfit FC Twente Enschede in a wee kick-around at their pre-season training camp in the Netherlands.

Most famously, they sold Theo Snelders to us in 1988 for £300,000, and he was quite handy between the sticks. One of their assistant coaches is one Jeffrey de Visscher, formerly of this parish. Scott Booth also had a spell with them. We have so much in common.

Was chatting in another thread about this where someone thought it was in Amsterdam area, but just checked and it is near Enschede.

Booked flights to Amsterdam at the start of May when I first heard about this. Was told it was going to be somewhere near Amsterdam but it's 2 and a half hours away and much closer to Enschede. Hey ho.

Train from Amsterdam takes 2 to 2 and a half hours depending which one you get. Couple of changes as well which always goes well with a few beers.

Was gonna say, a few beers travelling through NL is never a bad thing.
