Born and raised Spakenburger Gijs Heek (79) is close to the young supporter in the away section and cannot believe his luck tonight. “Playing the quarterfinals, isn’t that wonderful!”, beams the loyal supporter. “It’s really my club,” he says. “It’s family, a really close-knit club. You celebrate together, but if things get worse you also support your club together. I think that’s wonderful.” He can be found at the stadium almost every day. “Just have a look,” he explains. So also today, although he did not go to the game by bus.
