Vitesse will allow only 500 De Graafschap supporters to attend the upcoming match in Arnhem, following disorder at last season’s derby. De Graafschap said it was particularly disappointed by the limited allocation.

Arnhem mayor Ahmed Marcouch warned De Graafschap about the match and said the restrictions were entirely due to the upcoming fixture. He also said the situation involved some self-reflection by De Graafschap and suggested that away supporters may not always be welcomed in future editions.
