The costs of the new turf are ‘just under million euros’. That amount is largely paid from TV money. Telstar will receive a considerably higher amount in the coming season due to the promotion to the Eredivisie.
“We are pretty good at the cash. There is also a crowdfunding campaign,” says Annokkéé, who will not be sponsored there, such as at FC Volendam.
Telstar will play the first league match on the new lawn on 15 August. PEC Zwolle is then the opponent in Velsen-Zuid. A week earlier Telstar visits Ajax in the Johan Cruijff Arena.
