According to a statement from the club, “players who do not hand in their shirts are criticized and the posters can pose a fire risk.”
The same statement ensures that there were more and more banners asking for the elastic of their idols
The Ajax Amsterdam has approved a new measure that prohibits its fans from carrying banners to the field where they ask for the jerseys of the players.
The reason why this regulation has been communicated is surreal: “Lately, an increasing number of such signs had appeared in the matches in Johan Cruyff Arena, mostly starring children, and players who pass without handing over a jersey have been criticized as arrogant“. In addition, according to the club, the signs represent a “fire hazard”.
Already in the match Super Cup against PSV from last week, this type of banners were removed from those attending the stadium.
Without a doubt, this adopted measure draws attention, not only because it prohibits a very common practice in football stadiums, but also for the reason why it is done.
