England Fans Begin to Arrive in Amsterdam Ahead of Netherlands Friendly

England fans in Amsterdam

England fans have started to descend on Amsterdam for their friendly with the Netherlands on Friday evening, and the Dutch police are bracing themselves for trouble.

It is estimated that 6,000 England fans will make the short trip to Amsterdam, but the likelihood is that there will be many more travelling, most without tickets. The last time England played in Holland was back in 2009 and England fans lined the canals of the Red Light District for the 24 hours before kick-off.

 

Rules for England Supporters from the Dutch Police

The Dutch police have taken the unusual steps of emailing all the England fans with tickets outlining some rules including “Drinking in the streets is prohibited” and “Flares and fireworks are prohibited – any supporters caught with them may be arrested and placed into custody”.
