Dutch Police Move Dons Game, Crowd trouble worries

Aberdeen's game with Go Ahead Eagles has now been moved from Saturday to Friday night by police for fear of crowd trouble after big fighting with Dutch fans at recent testemonial.

 

Seems a bit strange to move it to a Friday night though!!

As i've mentioned before, Go Ahead Eagles have a firm that like to give it a go (tried it against Ajax a few years back). Deventer Hooligans. Still i'm surprised the Dutch police have moved this though since they do near enough fuck all about other fixtures. Why not move the spurs feyenoord game???

Cause Feyenoord play Celtic on Sunday aswell.

 

And Celtic play Spurs on Friday in Rotterdam aswell.

I know, but i'd say there would be a much higher chance of trouble there than at our games + I just detest Feyenoord  :thumbsup:

I'd never have guessed mate ;)

Nobody at AFC knew about this, they also heard it on the radio(Northsound?)

 

They are trying to contact the team out in Holland to see if they know.

Think the Spurs/Aberdeen link may well have the cops worried and getting us to play at same tie as them solves a few problems.

 

 

All that is going to happen on Saturday is that we all go see another random game (and cause trouble  :wave:)

You would think with our Director of Football out there enjoying a free holiday that he may have filtered the news back to the club for them to let the fans know!!

Aberdeen's pre season match with Go Ahead Eagles planned for this coming Saturday is likely to be moved to Friday night, under instruction from the dutch police.

 

Discussions are currently taking place to finalise details of the game, and we'll post them on RedWeb as soon as they are confirmed.

Manc - Jute has been on the phone asking for alternative games on Saturday. Any suggestions?

Roosendaal v AZ Alkmaar

Club Top Oss v Vitesse Arnhem

 

Or down into Germany for:

 

 

Eintracht Frankfurt v Kaiserslautern

Borussia Munchengladbach v Valencia

St Pauli v Stuttgart

Werder v Trabzonspor

 

 

 

Either that or just hit the pub!!

 

 

 

 

Herenveen v Falkirk

 

Manc how long on the train to Herenveen?

i'd say an hour or two from Arnhem,

 

www.ns.nl - its available in english I think.

 

Also check the FC Twente website.

 

zaterdag  16-08-2008  17:00  FC Twente  -  UD Almeria

 

Not sure where they are playing though.

Stop spouting shite - Aberdeen have no intentions of travelling to the Spurs game - too busy hoorin and getting early night for trip down to Deventer

 

 

Excellent plan - we'll all go to Deventer anyway on the Saturday and do their bar!!! ha ha  ;D

 

 

(...just kidding)

 

You over there with a false passport?  :wave:

 

I just posted this on AFC-Chat. there's a fair chance that the game might not go ahead at all...

According to the GAE website, the match has been cancelled by the local council in Deventer......this isn't unusual for Dutch games.

 

IF.....and it seems to be a big IF....the game goes ahead, it'll now be played on Friday evening at the ground of SV Terwolde, with a 19.30 kick off.

 

Terwolde is a wee village about 3 miles to the north west of Deventer.

 

The decision will be made Wednesday morning at the latest.

 

What an absolute nut for the lads who are travelling specially for this game. ....it's absolutely typical of Dutch football though.

 

The reason they still have a hooligan problem is because the authorities refuse to take on the troublemakers directly, and instead do things like this which inconvenience all the decent fans.

 

Result ? The arseholes are still out there and the decent fans drift away from football because they get fed up with it all.

 

Baws, again.

Could they not play it in another part of Holland, away from this local council?

i'm sorry, but so what there was trouble between Ajax and Zwolle? What the hell does this have to do with us and GAE??? Or have I missed something?
