The club from Enschede indicates that the costs of the competition organization in this setting, where the supporters have to be distributed over the entire stadium, do not outweigh the benefits. FC Twente only wants to open the Grolsch Veste for matches again when all season ticket holders and sponsors can be admitted. FC Twente has more than 20,000 season ticket holders.
The capacity of the Grolsch Veste is 30,000. “In consultation with our supporters and business sections, we have taken the position: ‘whether all our season ticket holders and sponsors are allowed in or no one. This can be achieved for FC Twente with a 2/3 occupancy. We continue to insist on (minimum) 2/3 occupation, because we have shown at the start of the current season that this can be done safely and responsibly. We can’t go back into a process without any perspective.’
