pete 2,499 Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 FC Groningen supporters planned a toilet roll display against Ajax today. Unfortunately some idiot decided to set it on fire. Some supporters received serious burns and a part of the sitting was totally burned out. Ajax has become a hate club for Groningen supporters after they have plucked some of their best players over the last few years with the sale of Suarez and de Silva getting emotions running high. Part of the display was also T-shirts with Fuck Ajax! And 110% against Amsterdam written on it. The game was cancelled as players from both teams complained of headaches and breathing difficulties. http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=XZvZxDT8NkI http://www.dumpert.nl/mediabase/79431/f4088c46/euroborg_in_brand.html http://www.dumpert.nl/mediabase/79301/410d2dbd/supporter_staat_in_brand.html 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gribz 919 Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Thats nuts! How come we never hear about the dutch teams getting punished? The toilet rolls just keep on coming and coming, they must have had 1000s at the back of the stand there. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 It also looked that as soon as the fans saw the stand was on fire that was when there was a barrage of bog rolls came flooding down - and all on that area which was on fire. Unreal - did they not see the Bradford disaster ? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club and fire brigade had granted permission. A note warning of the fire hazard was also put on the roles. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the most bonkers thing ive heard - the club actually are responsible for providing the T Rolls - surely that has to be a huge fine 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
juffery 0 Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Makes perfect sense - who would expect the normally calm and sensible Dutch football fans to get carried away!!!!!!!!!!! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the Fanatics as they call them that arranged it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
