Season 2003

Trench Crew Travel

By: Teflon

Info on how to get to the mentioned bars in Amsterdam, on our 'Amsterdam' page. If you want more details or have questions, mail us (through the feedback page above).

No attractive calendar this year, just an explanation of the plans. First of all, this year marks the first year that the Trench Crew does all of it's travel together with a dozen or so other Admirals' fans. Together we make up 'Triple A'.

Fanday: Triple A @ Amsterdam, Sat. 29-3-2003.

Triple A will be out in force at sportpark Strandvliet (the fields right next to the ArenA, just beyond the Ajax training pitch). We will assemble at 10am and change into our brand spanking new Triple A 'jerseys'. From 11am onwards, our two flag teams will open the proverbial can of whup-ass on all comers. After a victory beer around 5pm, everyone will do their own thing to get a shower. Some of us will probably head to the Globe. At 8pm it is Niki and Erica's birthday party at Erica's place.

Game 1: Amsterdam @ Gelsenkirchen, Sat. 5-4-2003.


A few people will arrive in Dusseldorf on Friday evening and frequent Knoten. Me and a few others will take the ICE from Amsterdam on Saturday morning 9am, cracking open the first beer exactly one minute after that. Arrival at Knoten is estimated at just past noon. Transport to the stadium will probably be in shuttle buses, or in the Kings of Kling camper. After the game, back to Knoten! Then train back on Sunday.

Game 2: Barcelona @ Amsterdam, Sat. 12-4-2003.

This all depends on whether or not we get the permit from the city council to barbecue before the game... Either we are at the stadium, tailgating with two dozen people, or we are at the Globe. Stay tuned.

Game 3: Amsterdam @ Barcelona, Sat. 19-4-2003.

The Trench Crew will arrive in Sitges on the Thursday, leaving on the Tuesday. The rest of Triple A does Friday to Monday. Lots of Sangria will be consumed!

Game 4: Frankfurt @ Amsterdam, Sat. 26-4-2003.

This all depends on whether or not we get the permit from the city council to barbecue before the game... Either we are at the stadium, tailgating with two dozen people, or we are at the Globe. Stay tuned.

I have decided to skip this one, but most of Triple A will do the usual 'train on Sunday, train on Monday' trip

This all depends on whether or not we get the permit from the city council to barbecue before the game... Either we are at the stadium, tailgating with two dozen people, or we are at the Globe. Stay tuned.
