Extra security guards have been switched on, and to stop field stormers, fences are placed along all the stands.
Last Saturday things went wrong in the Telstar stadium. The club played against FC Den Bosch that evening and won the game. Immediately after the game, a massive fight broke out among supporters on the field. Back and forth claps handed out. In addition, several people were injured.
After a few minutes, the police arrived and the police managed to bring the fights to an end. The disturbances led to several injuries and an investigation by the police.
Police surprise
The police later tell NH to have been ‘more or less’ surprised by the Rellen Telstar-FC Den Bosch. According to them, there were no signals of disturbances in advance, so upscaling did not seem necessary.
To be well prepared for the match against Willem II this Thursday, Telstar is focusing on extra safety measures. “We think this is necessary to safely guarantee football,” says Leon Annokkée, Managing Director of Telstar to NOS. “The field storms are a new phenomenon and we want to get rid of it. For the players and the staff it is one thing. It doesn’t help and we are going to do everything to prevent it.”
