NO RESERVED SEATS for season ticket holders - in other words your seat isn't pre-reserved for you BUT you will still have to choose a seat you will sit in that day Who are proposing "a red wall"? Surely S82 will be in their usual spot? Wouldn't imagine enough coming over from Tilburg to created anything other than lots of flags and banners - at present only 3 coaches are coming over (1 supporters club and 2 fan arranged), plus any travelling independently 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bar BS3 Posted June 12 Report Share Posted June 12 I think the only Red wall will likely be one of empty seats for this game. I get that a few of our fans & their fans have created a bind between them, which is nice - but beyond those involved in that, I can't imagine anyone is in the slightest bit inspired by this game & I'd be surprised if there were much more than 5k in attendance for it, maybe 10k at a push. I'm actually amazed that the club have embraced the idea of arranging the game, although I know there have been calls for it for a few years now - I can't help but think it's come frome a vocal & admirally passionate few, who enjoy the unofficial link up with this Dutch club, rather than anything that the majority are interested or possibly even very aware of. Hope I'm wrong & it's a big success 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted June 12 Report Share Posted June 12 (edited) A friendly vs a European top division club albeit none of the big hitters to round off pre season is not bad IMO. The Willem link aside. Albeit what was our attendance v Twente in 2017 was it? I didn't make that game.

Thought it may have been a bit higher really. Not a glamour friendly of course but a good solid test all the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YorkshireSection Posted June 13 Report Share Posted June 13 I was with one of the Willem 2 lads a couple of weeks ago whilst in Albania and he reckons a fair share of Kingside season ticket holders including all the (Amigos dos Amigos lads) will be making the journey so between 2-500, which is pretty impressive imho. He said they have a new Director/chairman (no idea) who was keen to get the friendly sorted and that they hoped to get a return fixture sorted next year. I can't see that happening, unless it was a mini tour of Holland which would be amazing for us but maybe not for the Dutch police who I don't think would be too keen on the thought of policing city and Willem lads versus the likes of Feyenoord, Ajax & ADO, it would be absolute chaos, but a lot of fun! Fingers crossed it's a success as I'd love a pre season tour to my motherland. PS: Let's hope the g*s are at home same day.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope I'm wrong & it's a big success we had 5k for twente 11k for Ajax one of the biggest names in football and they bought a few fans, Anywhere between 5k to 10k is probably right for this sort of game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there are quite a few travelling independently by car/plane. For example “my group” is coming with 18 people independently. But in the end I guess there will be 300-500 Willem II supporters. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

formerly known as ivan Posted June 15 Report Share Posted June 15 Mixture of fans scattered all over the ground. Willem fan heading for a wee shortly before half time, trips and lands on a young city fan. Dad of city fan squares up to Wliiem fan. Bit of pushing and shoving, suddenly all hell breaks lose. Fighting everywhere, fires start in the concourse, Atyeo statue taken back to the Netherlands as ransom.

Dolman Block B Posted June 16 Report Share Posted June 16 Quickly looking at sales for this game its pretty poor so far. The club ought to let local schools and universities have loads for free as it the holiday period and who knows future fans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
