The game is played in the stadium of FC Emmen Unive because the game is not in the home of Vitesse could be completed in connection with a dance party the upcoming weekend.

According to the supporters club Ajax Wednesday there were almost 2,000 tickets sold while the stadium can accommodate 8,600 fans. A mandatory buscombi which applies equally to Vitesse as Supporter Supporter Ajax is probably partly the cause.

The two teams that are still being nice in the league. There should normally fifteen to twenty thousand people to come. That does not fit in Emmen, but that stadium actually had twice sold should be. "
