Rivalry is a great thing in football but it doesn't need to decend into violence everytime.<br /><br />@Chaz - thanks for the comments. I've been to FC Porto but only for a European Championships match in 2004 between Italy and Sweden. The Swedish support that day might well have ticket your 'female fan' box!<br /><br />Here's something you might be interested in; check out these season ticket prices that are available for some German clubs:<br /><br />Schalke £123, Bayern Munich £105, Werder Bremen £123, Hertha Berlin £130 and Bochum £105. You can by individual match tickets from as little as £11 at most of those clubs as well.<br /><br />Compare that to Luton Town for example (currently in the English non-league) whose cheapest season ticket is £270. The cheapest season ticket at Queens Park Rangers is £450! That's 450GBP.

But your endorsement of Turkey and Germany was really fascinating. Certainly Bundesliga supporters do seem rowdy and passionate.

It’s so inexpensive that you can just walk up on match day without stopping at a bank machine first.<br /><br />Richard, the host of ELP Talk seems a bit square, because I would have asked you about…<br /><br />The LADY FOOTBALL SUPPORTERS around Europe! I’m often dazed when the camera focus on some of the women in the stands at La Liga matches!

After that, the teams werent really separated. For example, they played against each other in the 1989-1990 season and also from 1992 til 1995. After the 1995 season it was "enough" for both teams for various reasons. But hooliganism wasnt one of the reasons. One of the main reasons was that both teams wanted to win the league and that chance is bigger when youre not competing each other. So mostly one team played in the Mid-Holland league and the other in the East/North league, at the same level though. After 1999 the teams officially decided to remain separated for a few years more, because there was a lot of tension after the blues bought two star players of the reds. Since 2002 (the situation got normalized again) the teams are always in the same league, and i cant recall there have been any problems whatsoever. <br />Off topic hullabaloo: are you a Muse fan :)?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02697959766462735070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338911017388638492.post-83359319756877995072010-04-19T14:48:12.395+01:002010-04-19T14:48:12.395+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02697959766462735070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338911017388638492.post-53038927557028290152010-04-16T23:12:48.187+01:002010-04-16T23:12:48.187+01:00Hullabaloo - That should have read 'last AMATE...Hullabaloo - That should have read 'last AMATEUR club to reach the semi finals' I hang my head in shame (again).<br /><br />Re. the bombing of a linsman, it's any little thing these days eh?

THAT WAS A BOMB! i shall get that team thrown out of the league immediately.'<br /><br />and the reds in 1975... first and last club in the cup semis? surely that's not right? there must've been clubs before and after to reach the semi finals? ;) <br /><br />great blog by the way.Philip Genochiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10118286005756748146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338911017388638492.post-31730351511905205902010-04-16T10:50:54.876+01:002010-04-16T10:50:54.876+01:00@Henk - Great stuff old chap

Just go to the winning team... :D<br /><br />If you'll see the derby the most fun to stand is at the team that isn't playing home. When the blue get to the red they alway's make something special to annoy them.<br />But othersides the same. Red standing at the blue, it's one really big group of crazy people. Lot crazier then the blue standing at there own spot. <br /><br />Red is a bit more sympathik in my neatral opinion but have to admin. Both clubs are great. Red is just a bit bigger and more loyal fans. <br /><br /><br />Watch it next year twice and go and stand with the people away, party at the winning team afterwards and proberly you see all the good things this way.<br /><br />greetingsUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04357975380413005848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338911017388638492.post-64370143329291722412010-04-15T22:16:38.494+01:002010-04-15T22:16:38.494+01:00both the spakenburg and katwijk derby are in the s...both the spakenburg and katwijk derby are in the saturday league because for religious reasons they don't play on a sunday ijselmeervogels best player ever jaan de graaf could easy have made as a pro but he refused to play on a sundayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338911017388638492.post-67240572729557097102010-04-15T18:54:00.497+01:002010-04-15T18:54:00.497+01:00Proud to be RED untill i'm dead :-)!

After this season a new league will be formed, its called Topklasse. The best teams of the current Hoofdklasse will qualify for this new, highest amateur league. IJsselmeervogels already qualified and also Spakenburg is almost certain of qualification. So that derby will certainly be played in the Topklasse next season. Katwijk will qualify most likely, Quick Boys however are almost certain to not earn their promotion, so the Katwijk-Quick Boys derby will probably not take place for at least one season, at least not at the highest amateur level.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02697959766462735070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338911017388638492.post-58337275436141913582010-04-15T16:25:43.046+01:002010-04-15T16:25:43.046+01:00PresuminED - Changed to derbies now old chap.
