willem ii Posted March 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 On saturday off to FC Twente which you should know from the friendly game earlier this season! Very important match for us since they are two places below us and winning against them makes the gap 9 points... that should normally be sufficient to stay above them... away box sold out and snow predicted. City did well in the snowy weekend against Sheffield Wednesday, lets hope we will act accordingly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won 2-1 and more or less safe from relegation T’was indeed a great win. Eredivisie football next season it seems. From what I can see there isn’t much money floating about in Dutch football and most teams utilise the loan system, it must be hard to anticipate what kind of season you’re going to have!

willem ii Posted April 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 Still a big smile on my face!!! Winning against the local rival/enemy and almost safe from play offs for relegation!!!! And we still have the top scorer of the Eredivisie: Fran Sol!!! Unbelievable top scorer when playing for a club in the lower regions of the eredivisie.

willem ii Posted April 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 After an away win against Pec Zwolle we are now officially safe from relegation! 13th place now. FC Twente against whom BCFC played a friendly game this season (still wondering why you didn’t play against us) and who was champion of The Netherlands less than 10 years ago are now relegated...

willem ii Posted May 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 So the season has ended for Willem II. After 3/4 of the season we were in the (play off) relegation area. Then the supporters issued a manifest in which they requested the coach to leave. Three days later he did so and the first match after that we won with 5-0 from the champion PSV. The matches there after (against quite some good teams) we managed to get an average of almost 2 points per game. As a result we ended on place 13 of the Eredivisie! A good end result after a terrible beginning of the season with a coach who only played not to lose. After he left the gameplay changed for the better and as a result the connection with the supporters is good again! Looking forward to next season, with almost a full new team since 4/5 of them won't be there next season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Dutch music and we were treated like royalty for being from Bristol, free food etc. Great day, looking forward to going back again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did wonder where that St George (£6 off e bay) ended up lost on a pub crawl from Miners, Lions , Plough and Windmill, Orchard, Ostrich then centre. Good to see it found a good home.

WessexPest Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 I owned a Willem II shirt many moons ago - this would’ve been early 90s so long before the clubs had any formal linkup. It had “Giraffe” emblazoned on the back - anyone know what that was? I assume some sort of sponsor unless the Dutch Peter Crouch was playing his trade with Tilburg...

RedRock Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 I know bugger all about their players but the fans are sound and follow City, so think a reciprocal arrangement is deserved. Come on you William 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bristolcitysweden Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 I follow quite a few of the League 2 sides and the National League in general. I don't consider myself to be a fan though.

bristolcitysweden Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 Some Willem II fans enjoy meeting up with people who support Bristol City and equally some Bristol City fans enjoy meeting up with people who support Willem II. The only connection to football is that they support different football clubs but are mates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
