Some decent pubs there on the seaside as well. Make it a bit of an afternoon out if you go there, it's worth it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Jacobsen Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 I see that Danny Buijs is now Groningen manager. I know he played for them but that's quite a big step-up given that he was managing Kozakken Boys last season. He did well with them so it'll be interesting to see how he does at Groningen. I also see that Ron Jans is back at Groningen too. No comment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, he had managed at BVV Barendrecht ,but that still raised a few eyebrows. Nontheless, the Eredivisie is a mickey mouse league filled with diddies so no doubt they'll get away with it. Excelsior are the Dutch Accies. As for Buijs, he performed miraculously with Kozakken Boys, worth a punt over the currently unattached dross of Dutch managers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But managerial appointments at Excelsior usually raise eyebrows and work out well, so who knows? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark van Bommel as manager and his father in-law as ass man. The management team of the Australian NT but reversed; you heard it here first. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurph Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 My friend lives in Maastricht so went to a MVV game last season against Ajax Jong. They lost 4-0, it was -2ºc and we got lost both there and back on our bikes due to roadworks. They had a token machine to buy beers but also had a McDonald's attached to the stadium so a post-match McKroket and Chocomel was worth it. They finished bang mid table. Might try get to a Fortuna Sittard game this time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DutchBorderer Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 I disliked the Jupiler League name, considering the sponsors were a particularly bad purveyor of Belgium beer, but the second tier of Dutch football now has a new name and sponsor. *drumroll* Keuken Kampioen Divisie! Or in English, Kitchen Champions League! Woooooo! Tinpot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marten Posted June 30, 2018 Author Share Posted June 30, 2018 Groundhopping tip in case anyone happens to be in The Netherlands on Friday 13th July. Ajax play a PSF against Anderlecht at the historic Amsterdam Olympic Stadium. The ground was opened for the 1928 Olympics and has a rich footballing history, but is only rarely used for football nowadays. This is a rare chance to see football in this great stadium.I have nothing at all with either side, dislike both, but I'd probably pop along if I still lived in The Netherlands. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My buurman just told me about this, might head down there but I really can't stand Ajax ( 17 years in Amsterdam will do that to you ) would be nice to see a game at the Olympic Stadium as I used to play on the fields next to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to see Amsterdamsche FC a year or so ago when they were in the Tweede Divisie, think they've been demoted. Cracking wee ground with a big bar overlooking the pitch. Standard of football was pretty atrocious, I've seen considerably better in the Highland League, but maybe that game wasn't representative. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there any pre-season friendlies happening around the area or even an hour or so away? Genuinely don't care about the level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is one game at exactly the same time (4pm local time) as England's match: LSVV (tier 7) v AZ Alkmaar. You need to take a train from Amsterdam Centraal to Alkmaar and then a short bus ride.

We ended up going to SC Telstar v IJmuiden which finished 6-0 instead, it was at 2pm so we sadly caught the end of the English celebrations, and Amsterdam was unsurprisingly full of “its coming home” and pissing on the street. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adding Serie A, La Liga, Chinese super league and the Swedish top flight league to the list then I think about £10-£15 a month They are apparently working hard with the major platforms in the UK to have distribution everywhere for the start of the season.

Fox Sports have been running an advert/trailer for the new season, when you hear Keuken Kampioen Divisie said out loud on TV the tinpot aspect really hits home, oh and I drank Jupiler last night after playing 6 a side and my head is pounding...serves me right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
