European Football WeekendsTake That and Party
SV Spakenburg 2-3 IJsselmeervogels (06:11:10)
The Spakenburg derby, derby of derbies, where have you been all my life? You can now lay claim to being the greatest match on earth, and the reason European Football Weekends were invented. Ticketmaster went into meltdown in the Netherlands last week, and not just because Take That were playing at the local EnormoDome. Everybody wanted to lay their mitts on a ticket for the 33rd village derby between the blues of SV Spakenburg, and the reds of IJsselmeervogels.
This was the first time the match had taken place in the newly formed Topklasse Division, the third tier of Dutch football. Previously, these two had been the most successful amateur clubs in the country. IJsselmeervogels Chairman Arian van de Vuurst had been a dissenting voice amongst those who wanted change, “professional football does not fit in with our culture” he harrumphed before the start of the season.

Some of DAWB are off to Holland this weekend to see Excelsior Rotterdam, IJsselmeervogels and AFC Amsterdam. Here a report about the game we want to watch in Spakenburg...
Re: DAWB goes Holland
Dirty Ass greetings from Amsterdam. All ten of us now happily hung over and ready to start the football experience. Today's plan is to further explore Amsterdam before heading to Rotterdam for Excelsior vs Almere City FC.
Re: DAWB goes Holland
Despite an awful 0-0 first half, the Irish and Indian luck bringers did their magic and Excelsior won 5-0. Very nice experience!
Today, DAWB will try to get tickets for the Spakenburg derby. Fingers crossed.

We (AFC Amsterdam) sadly lost 1-2 but there is a lot of TeBe friendship potential there. Quality.
