All fans that city channel AT5 spoke to afterwards about the hard core actiondidn’t have a good word for it. “We think it’s scandalous. These aren’t Ajax players, are they? These are rioters,” says a dismayed supporter. She had traveled to the Arena for the match with her 90-year-old mother. “They are now duping so many people, I have no words for it.”
“You go here with completely different ideas. And then you get something like this,” responds another fan. “That’s how they bring the club down.”
‘Misconduct’
Ajax has emphatically distanced itself from the supporters’ stunt. The club speaks of ‘misconduct’ and apologizes to all affected fans. It has now been announced that the match against FC Groningen will be next Tuesday resumed behind closed doors.
