bowl Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 (edited) When we played Brighton in 2003?, around 12 of us stayed in the Travellodge. About the same number of Sparta Rotterdam fans where also staying there - who had come over to visit somes Brighton fans and to watch the game. At about 3am we had just got back to hear it kicking off outside the main doors (with chants of ROT-TER-DAM HOO-LI-GANS.) A few of us went down to see what was going on and appartently the Brightons hosts had turned on their Dutch guests, resulting with someone being thrown through the reception window. After the police turned up and it all calmed down we got talking to them, and they were sound. A couple of lads exchanged numbers and kept in contact for a while after that.

Forte_Baby Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Before the game at Brentford there where some Dutch lads talking to some Oldham fans in one of the pubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downender2 Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 cheers for that...was at a loose end last weekend so decided to take in the home game for Sparta against a team I've never heard of, RKC Waalwijk...to say the game was a dissapointment is an understatement..1 -0 to Sparta, I was however impressed with how friendly everyone was, and you could have a beer and a tab whilst watching the game. 6 coppers on duty for the game...although this goes up to 300 when they play the other team in Rotterdam..

bozman Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I used to live in Rotterdam and went to see Sparta a few times. The scarf was already on the ceiling in the clubhouse when I first went in there and that was in 2001. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bozman Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Thinking about it a bit more, it may actually be the case that is not a Latics fan who is responsible for the scarf. Back in the days when I went there you could only get in the Sparta clubhouse if you were a member (seaon ticket holder) or were signed in by a member. I did ask the member I was with and a couple of others about the Latics scarf and they weren't aware of how it got there but did say many of the scarves were brought back by members who had been to see matches in England.

GuyGermanLatic Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Does anyone know how you can get your scarf/a scarf hung up in the clubhouse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowl Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Why can't Latics have one of these type of clubhouse at the new ground?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoytonLatics Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Why can't Latics have one of these type of clubhouse at the new ground?? True but it would hardly be inspiring, lots of non descript English teams of the like's of Hereford, Wycome and Hartlepool.... The only teams that would get the chance to visit.

The only teams that would get the chance to visit. from whats been posted, i believe that the way it works at Sparta is that fans from this club have visited clubs around europe and have brought back scarves that are now on display...so its not necessarily just confined to clubs that Sparta have played.. I'm sure from amongst the ranks we would have our own ecletic mix of scarves from clubs from around the globe...? On a ever so slightly related matter, in my local boozer, there's a whole collection of ticket stubs from a wide selection of sporting events across the top of the bar, must be over 500 by now.
