modes98 Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 How many people have been to St Andrews, The Den, Turf Moor? Hrdly the most serene of locations or of welcoming locals but you'd still go wouldn't you? I'm sure if i hadn't covered my rovers shirt with a jacket everytime i went to st andrews i wouldn't have got away as easily as i did. The reputation of feyenoord fans preceeds them and if you fancy staying then all credit to you but to be that extra bit careful amsterdam is the place to be!

Gav Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Tried the Europa 92 Gav? Just been on the website but nothing available. Plenty of accomodation in Amsterdam but its always good to be with your fellow supporters. We'll find something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets hope we're celebrating a win and getting out of dodge alive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netherlands Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Since the police have recommended that everyone stay in Amsterdam, I'm just saying that if you go into Rotterdam the risk that you get in trouble isn't higher than if you stay in Amsterdam. That's all *&^** from the police. Last year a bloke from Middlesbrough got stabbed in Amsterdam. His team was playing in Alkmaar against AZ but he and his mate didn't have tickets so they stayed in Amsterdam. He got into a fight over drugs and died. (just check Google) Hasn't got anything to do with Middlesbrough, AZ or football in the first place. So with that experience in mind, we could also say that Amsterdam is a dangerous place?

Spent 4/5 days in Amsterdam over summer for pre-season when we played the bigger team in Rotterdam...Sparta. Amsterdam felt so safe compared with Rotterdam. Also there did not seem to be much going on in Rotterdam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derby Blue Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 I too am staying at the Sofitel in Amsterdam. Thought I would also say hello and introduce myself to one and all. Having just caught up with technology and got myself onto the inter web thingy. Flying out on the Thursday morning from East Midlands - BMI Baby, if anyone else is on that flight I'll see you there.

Guest fernhurstblue Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 has anbody seen that advert in the let advertising coach travel for £69.95, just wondering if thats worth a go as the club (well the away travel dept.) dont seem to have any details of a coach?

Gav Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Just be careful as you can guarantee it'll depend on minimum numbers booking or it won't run. With Holland being very accessible most fans will be making alternative arrangements for travel. I think the boat from Hull is a similar price to that and will definitely run.

I think Amsterdam is quite a dangerous place. However that might be because when I stayed there (for about 1 month) Theo van Gogh was killed. Wasnt a good time to be there. However even taking that away. Although safe during the day, I wouldnt called the RLD there safe at night. You ask for trouble there you will certainly get it.
