Definitive interruption in Groningen-Ajax due to riots by the fans of the home team!

Her game was permanently and irreversibly interrupted Groningen by Ajax. The home fans, frustrated by their team’s relegation after 23 consecutive years in the first division, had organized a series of protest movements.

Initially, a fan entered the pitch with a banner and the match was temporarily stopped. However, in the 9th minute the fans threw smoke bombs and kegs onto the pitch, causing the referee to stop the match again.

In fact, according to the regulation in Netherlandsin the second interruption the referee can permanently leave for the locker room and the match can be canceled as it was.

However, it is not the first time this year that things get out of hand in the Netherlands, since this year has been marred by several incidents and fan riots. In fact, during the weekend we had tensions and temporary interruptions in the matches Twente-Brenda, Utrecht-Waalwijk, Folendam-Sparta Rotterdam and FC Eindhoven-Helmond Sport.

The fate of the match is expected to be decided in the courts, while now the most likely scenario seems to be that O Ajax the match on the cards.

Vooropgezet een middagje uit van thousand belwillende supporters verpesten. Weather. It is really rare how FC Groningen this season is being undermined by its own geldingen. Asocial, egoistisch en schandalig.
