“The demand for extra tickets is not high enough to fill an extra stand. With a larger audience, there should also be extra capacity, and also more mobility of the police,” says the municipal spokesperson. When multiple stands are filled, more police efforts are also required. And that is difficult, according to chairman Visser: “They then have to put in too many hours and too many people. The triangle does not want that for this match. The evening before is the Feyenoord match against FC Utrecht, and that also requires a lot of effort.”
