Such typical "big club" entitlement. I realise - as the article says - it has implications for other clubs who are blameless for the situation, but I somehow think Ajax are not
really that concerned about Volendam or any other clubs or their supporters...

Their supporters really are a strange breed.
Arguably the greatest single generation of youth talent to emerge at a side
KNVB cup semi-final suspended after Ajax player hit by object from crowd - DutchNews.nl
The Breda v Willem (Tilburg) derby also got abandoned under the same grounds and they re-convened for a short kickabout.

Dutch fans just seem to love chucking stuff.
It has for a number of years been the KNVB case if match is stopped and not restarted that the remaining minutes of match get played out normally the following week. In this case it is not the first match this season to have been played out behind closed doors.
Stewards and police must know the trouble makers plus of course the club.
Totally unfair on Volendam and there supporters.
Ajax should be heavily fined but this will not be the case and very little punishment will be taken over this. AJAX is too big half the country support this club.
It is also common practice in Holland to drink alcohol while sitting in you seat watching match.
Many games already this season have been stopped and teams taken off pitch due to plastic beer glasses being thrown and then restarted.
Big Problem yes and the fans know it.
Then when you get nicked explain to the club/police/courts your reasoning, don't sling the fecking thing causing damage to the pitch or worse lands on some poor unsuspecting sod and burns them.
Personally, I think they look good but wouldn't like to be nearby when one was set off and like taking my pint to my seat its not allowed so we accept or face any consequences, as for Flares in The Covered End you should've seen the b*stards I was wearing in the 70s with 24' bottoms.
"The competition and cup program is now being adjusted by the KNVB for four clubs due to the completion of an abandoned match. Not only the clubs, but also the supporters are victims of this,"
At what during writing that statement did they forget it was actually the fault of their own supporters? At least they've finally seen sense and have decided to accept the new fixture arrangements.
Dutch fans are pretty mental from my experience.
Finally its bad news for the club, the last thing they need (least important compared to personal safety)
As for jokes on flares...
Also went to an Alice Cooper concert in Rotterdam, on exiting we were funnelled through a corridor comprising cops in full riot gear with their armoured vehicles nearby .. fuck about they do not
But the best bit came right at the end, a VAR classic. (here it works on the system of a voice in the ref's earpiece inviting him to go check the monitor). It's 98 minutes, Sparta, still a goal down, attack a well-defended box, a low cross is diverted off a part of a Slavia player's anatomy (on TV I still can't tell which), big appeals for handball are ignored. Slavia break perfectly, Czech teams are so good at it, and bang, it's 2-0. Except it's not. The ref has heard the voice in his ear, and after checking the monitor, pretends the Slavia goal never happened and gives Sparta the penalty. Their red-carded captain is the usual pen taker, but their Slovak forward Lukas Haraslin, fair play, absolutely smashes a perfect pen into the corner. Cue wild celebrations in the visiting section. Well sort of..there are only 500 or so of them, the self -styled "ultras", and inexplicably their response is to start smashing the seats and chucking them into the next Slavia section, which is a bit pathetic as it's a pretty mixed section, like East Stand block A, all the Slavia "ultras" are up the other end. The Sparta players have to go over to them and are clearly shouting "wtf are you doing?". That's the weirdest thing. I've been to this derby, and there will have been about 3,000 Sparta fans all around most of the stadium, wearing colours, mixing with home fans, many of them mates. Like, allegedly, Charlton-Millwall in the 50s. The reaction of most of these fans, and the football media, is mainly embarrassment, both at their "ultras" and the complete lack of football in a derby between the 1 and 2 placed clubs. I think it's hilarious.
They've dropped 10 points in just 5 games. 3 years ago under Ten Hag they only dropped 14 points in the entire season.
They've also just sacked their director of football but (for now) the manager still remains.
