Ajax Web Links

[Zitgaar]

Welcome to www.ajaxcn.com.
The biggest AJAX website and forum in China. Maybe it's the first big one.
This website was newly founded. I think this one can attract thousands of Ajax fans in China. It’s GREAT. There are more than 90 registers in first two days.

http://www.ajaxcn.com/bbs/forumdisplay.php?fid=3
is our forum's site. Most of us can read English. A few people there can write some English threads. There are also someone can read Dutch. So it’s possible for everyone here to visit ajax china forum.Welcome!

Many of us usually visit AJAXUSA and former soccerpage.com.But we always prefer reading to writing because of language problems...

And...Could we found a Friendly link between us?A nearly cooperation would be better....

Is it allowed to post links to other boards here?

I am on a quest to find English speaking Ajax supporters to join me at an English board. It's a multiple club board and if there are 10 members of on club you can get your own forum (closed area).

The UEFA.com website has been completely re-designed!

This is what the Ajax page looks like now:
http://www.uefa.com/footballEurope/Club ... estic.html

Looks alright, but what's going on with the club honours?? They've got everything one year wrong (Champions League won in 1994; should be 1995, etc.). That's odd, innit? If you win the Champions League of the 1994-1995 season, you're the 1995 winner!

This must be a mistake. And what is meant by 'Soviet Union 2003' (bottom of honours list)?

Awesome! I love hearing about Ajax fans in far-flung places (being one myself).

And...Could we found a Friendly link between us?A nearly cooperation would be better....

Well, we don't maintain reciprocal links or even a links page... just doesn't make sense to put energy into maintaining that, in the age of Google! But there are plenty of visitors to this forum, and hopefully everyone will make their way over to your site to check it out!

They rock. BUT they should have gone on with their former way of distributing content. 2005 is the era of Bittorrent.... And they would have saved a lot of bandwidth. Anyway.....

[Per]

Actually....thay seem to be going with bittorrent now.

Atleast that's what I'm downloading now....

Nice one! I immediately edited a few things... :yes:

The story of the Ajax jersey, for example, was factually incorrect. According to the previous version of the article, Ajax replaced their colours (the 'Sparta Rotterdam' uniform) with the current Ajax uniform in 1911 in order to celebrate the promotion to the First Class. That is not true. They were forced to change it because it was an F.A. regulation: if two teams in the same league had identical uniforms the newcomers had to change their kit.

The rest of the article is quite poor as well, to be honest. I'll take care of that, too (but not now).

Amsterdamsche Football Club Ajax, also referred to as Ajax Amsterdam, AFC Ajax, or simply Ajax (pronounced Ah-yahx), is a football club from Amsterdam, Netherlands. The club is historically one of the top-10 football clubs in the world, and one of the 'Big Three' clubs that dominate Dutch football, the other two being Feyenoord Rotterdam and PSV Eindhoven. Ajax is one of only four clubs to have won all three major European trophies at least once (the European Champions Cup, the European Cup Winners Cup and the UEFA Cup).

History
The club was founded in Amsterdam on March 18, 1900 by Floris Stempel, Carel Reeser and the brothers Han and Johan Dade. Ajax originally played in an all black uniform with a red sash tied around the players' waists, but that uniform was soon replaed by a red/white striped shirt and black shorts. Red, black and white are the three colours of the flag of Amsterdam. However, when the club got promoted to the top flight of Dutch football in 1911 (then the Eerste Klasse or First Class, later named the Eredivisie), Ajax were forced to change their colours, because Sparta Rotterdam already had the exact same outfit. Special kits for away fixtures did not exist at the time and according to football association regulations, the newcomers had to change their colours if two teams in the same league had identical uniforms. Loosely inspired on the kit of London's Arsenal FC, Ajax opted for white shorts and white shirt with a broad, vertical red stripe over chest and back, which still is Ajax's outfit. Today, it is one of the most recognised football jerseys in the world.

The club is also famous for its excellent youth program and has introduced a few professional footballers such as Johan Cruijff. Its satellite club is the Ajax Cape Town of South Africa from where youth players have been drafted into the Eredivisie squad, such as Steven Pienaar and Aaron Mokoena. In 1995, the year that they won the UEFA Champions League, Ajax was the team that could best represent the Dutch national team in all departments, with goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar, players such as Michael Reiziger, Frank de Boer and Danny Blind in defense, Ronald de Boer, Edgar Davids and Clarence Seedorf in midfield, and Patrick Kluivert and Marc Overmars in attack. The team was coached by Louis van Gaal. Its current successes are mostly domestic, notwithstanding some minor successes in the 2002-03 Champions League. Its youth team continues to develop fairly talented individuals like Rafael van der Vaart, Wesley Sneijder, Nigel de Jong and Johnny Heitinga who regularly represent their nation.

Ajax's first stadium was built in 1911 out of wood and was simply called The Stadium. Ajax later played in the stadium that was built for the 1928 Summer Olympics, held in Amsterdam. This stadium, designed by Jan Wils, is simply known as the Olympic Stadium. Ajax also played in the De Meer Stadion from 1934 on. In 1996, they moved to a new home ground in the southeast of the city known as the Amsterdam ArenA, that was built at the cost of $134 million. The stadium is capable of holding approximately 52,000 people. The Arena has a retractable roof and was the example for other modern stadiums built in Europe in the following years. In the Netherlands, the Arena has earned a reputation for having a terrible grass pitch. The condition of the grass is caused by the roof that, even when open, takes away too much sunlight and ventilation from the ground.

After their success with the 1995 Champions League, Ajax has since struggled to rediscover its European form but first they will need to dominate the Eredivisie. Players such as Shota Arveladze and Brian Laudrup have won over the fans in the late 1990s but have yet to make their abundance of talents count in major tournaments. Most recently in 2005, popular coach, Ronald Koeman resigned after Ajax's defeat to AJ Auxerre in the UEFA Cup tournament despite having a squad packed with international experience, declaring himself drained of any inspiration to further guide the team to any success. This resignation was also the aftermath of Koeman's long-standing spat with then football director Louis van Gaal who had questioned Koeman's managerial abilities after Ajax's dry spell in the domestic league which even saw them languishing in fifth position at the beginning of 2005. Koeman's replacement was widely tipped to be as of a manager with vast experience, so it may come as a surprise when former Ajax-player Danny Blind was unveiled as their new coach, with virtually no top-level manager experience although he had worked with Koeman as a technical coach and advisor. The season may also witness the restructuring of the club with key player Rafael van der Vaart joining Hamburger SV and many young talented Ajax players also voicing an intent to move to larger clubs. A revelation of the season, however, may be defensive midfielder and defender Hedwiges Maduro who made an appearance for the Netherlands team despite having only a handful of club games under his belt but may have sufficiently impressed manager Marco van Basten to call him up for the national squad.

I want to ask your attention for a new Ajax fansite on the internet: the Ajax Film Site, to be found at http://www.ajaxfilmsite.nl/

This site will do what no other site is doing at the moment. They will basically do what the Ajax Foto Side does in pictures: give a weekly impression of the atmosphere, show tifo actions and other the events 'around the pitch' in movies. They will publish a movie of every home game and as many away games as possible.

There is a disclaimer on their website saying that they are in no way affiliated to the Ajax Foto Side. Movies of the Arsenal, Roda and Den Haag home games are already on line. Check 'em out.
