“It is no longer financially for us,” says Ruud Nolten. The chairman of FC Marlène notices that all prices have risen in recent years. Consider the costs for the KNVB, the room rental and transport at the away games. “Before Monday evening alone we pay 16,000 euros a year. And that is only one evening, because we also train on Wednesday evening.”
Strong holders leave
Nolten: “We get our second team out of the competition. They are coming out in the first division. In addition, we no longer use a large player bus, but we will put small vans in next season.
Furthermore, Orange internationals Floris Kemps and Stijt Kee indicated that they leave the club and Matz Mathot also leaves. About 3-4 players don’t know yet and need a little more reflection time. “
