Next friendly! And not a bad one!

This game will not be played at Borussia Dortmund's massive stadium, but at old Nattenberg Stadium in the small town of Lüdenscheid, Germany. Kick-off time: 14.00 CET.

Have you got any news about the possible squads? Are the teams going to put their best elevens, or will it be just a friendly game in reserve squads? I would like to see Pienaar in Dortmund's first squad ;) .

he's probably injured :sad:

The game started 55 minutes late, due to traffic jams in Germany and people's problems to get to the ground in time.

Kick-off was at 14:55 CET and the current score is 0-1 to Ajax. Klaas-Jan Huntelaar scored in the 31st minute of the match.

not due to traffic jams, but the Dortmund bus broke down.

Match report is up, people...

Jim will add pictures to it a.s.a.p. (that is: when he gets out of bed... :D )

By the way: the Borussia Dortmund fans put all their flags and banners upside down (as you can in the Ajax Foto Side photo report) as a protest against their new home uniform. They hate the yellow and white stripes, and to be honest I totally see their point...

I know we Ajax fans are lucky (we have a 'holy' home shirt that never changes) but why do clubs change their shirts all the time??? I don't get it. What makes the Borussia board (and the kit sponsor) think that yellow and white (WTF?) is pretty...?

They've always been yellow and black - plain simple: black shorts, yellow shirts. Why would you change that? They're the club colours aren't they, fer fack's sake.

Look at Dutch clubs like Ajax, Feyenoord, Sparta, Heerenveen, Vitesse, Roda, Excelsior, De Graafschap... Their jerseys never change. Just like the flag of a country doesn't change.

But maybe it's just me.

to get more and more money from the fans

I think they modelled it on a Torquay United shirt, circa 1990-1996 Ko ;) (and I managed to find a picture so you can see what I'm on about)

Could be worse Ko, at least we haven't been taken over by red bull...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Bull_Salzburg. man what a disgrace is that?!?

If they ever want me to stop supporting Ajax, this is the best way. What about Burger King AFC? Or maybe once and for all Ajax can be owned by AJAX the cleaning product and finally get rid of all the confusion. :D

...or perhaps Philips? :pukey:

Red Bull did the exact same thing with the MLS team in New York...
