Hi all Going to be staying near Deventer at the weekend does anyone know of any lower league matches going on around this area. cheers Stephen http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&safe=off&rls=com.microsoft:en-US&rlz=1I7GGLL_en-GB&ei=4ceSSZ-mCZHD_gb-wtTCDA&resnum=0&q=map+deventer+netherlands&um=1&ie=UTF-8&split=0&ei=8seSSe-QCozO0AWfg52jCw&sa=X&oi=geocode_result&resnum=1&ct=image
We only have two professional leagues - the second division plays on Friday nights. Is it amateur games that you'd be interested in going to? There's a couple of games in the highest amateur league that you could go watch near Deventer, let me know if you need info. The professional game closest to Deventer on the Sunday is NEC v Heerenveen (which promises to be an entertaining affair, both are quality sides). It's played in Nijmegen, their website is www.nec-nijmegen.nl.
Ye that would be great if you could give me more details of the amateur matches,where they are being played and how to get to them from Deventer.
You'll have to do a bit of work yourself, sorry! I'll give you links to their websites. They all play on Sunday afternoon at 2pm. De Treffers (division 1, amateurs) are playing at home on Sunday, they're based near Apeldoorn which is probably about half an hour from Deventer by public transport. Here's a link to their website , address and contact details (there's even a map on there) http://www.detreffers.nl/Basis.aspx?Tid=1250&Sid=1266&Hmi=1266&Smi=0 In Deventer itself, this is one of the oldest football clubs in the Netherlands, Koninklijke UD (Royal UD). They're in the second amateur division. Also playing at home on Sunday. Here's a link to their website (including a map) http://www.voetbal-clubs.nl/voetbal/koninklijkeud1875/4.asp
Great thanks for your help , hopefully I can make one of those matches if the weather is kind to us. Stephen
Hi johan neeskens made it along to Deventer on Sunday just to find out the game was called off, so maybe next time. The ground was only 10 Mins on the train from where I was staying,so thanks again for the good advice.
Virtually all amateur games were called off in the region (I'm from that Eastern part of the NL myself) owing to the snow. Glad to help!
