    [Brighton] Europa league fixtures released

    There was just a news message that for Ajax fans it'll be uncertain if they will be allowed to travel to 2 of the 3 away matches. Brighton is the one that Ajax travel will be able to travel to luckily. The matches in Athens and Marseille are labelled as 'high risk' and it will depend on the...

    [Albion] -Head to head- Ajax and Brighton discussion

    Hey! Ajax matches have become insanely popular in the recent years. I can't even manage to get a season card anymore for years because it's always sold out by the people who already have them. I remember Ajax played a cup match against an amateur club a few year back, it was sold out! Imagine...

    Thanks for the warm welcome! Unfortunately I most likely won't be joining but if I do, even without a ticket, I recon it will be a blast with some of you guys in a pub. What often happens when English fans come our way is that they get hammered and make a mess of the red light district area...

    [Albion] -Head to head- Ajax and Brighton discussion

    That's amazing to hear. It was the golden period for Ajax those years and Wembley has always been in good memory because of it. I don't really have connections with the F-side, which is the hard-core Ajax group, to set those things up but how amazing would it be if Brighton and Ajax supporters...

    Haha please stay clear of the Heineken museum. I believe they charge a lot and you get one free beer at the end.

    The away fans are placed on the top ring in the corner yes

    It was hugely disappointing yes. Especially because we don't get the amount of money as a Premier League club so for Ajax it's essential to get Champions League income. The coming year will be very important because the top 2 spots will have a guaranteed placement in the Champions League and...

    Ahh Joel Veltman. I really like that guy. He was such a cheeky defender. He was compared to Frank de Boer in his Ajax time, because he defends well but sometimes had his slippery moments called a 'Veltmannetje'.

    Especially the match against Napoli is giving me gastric acid thinking about it again. It was horrendous. If you compare it to the team of that moment and the coach we had, yes you are definitely favourites, especially at home. But with a new coach and a completely new squad I cannot say yet how...

    That's great to hear! We are up for some amazing nights!

    Haha no one here knew who he was and he didn't have his working permit yet so we don't know how he will play. In Brobbey we have a very strong striker but currently he lacks the one thing an Ajax striker needs: goals. As an Ajax striker you often get a lot of opportunities to score and if you...

    [Albion] -Head to head- Ajax and Brighton discussion

    Ajax struggles with teams that are very organised in defence and are waiting for the counter. If Brighton is able to frustrate Ajax by keeping it all closed around the 16 and by not getting them in the rhythm of playing around, you guys can do well. Ajax plays with a lot of space behind the...

    Not sure but there is place for about 1600 away fans I believe.

    Haha well Kudus is a class player but most of the fans aren't too hung up about him leaving. Not that we don't need his qualities because we don't have a lot of it anymore, but for most of his Ajax period he has been injured and he never managed to create this connection with the fans. If he...

    [Albion] -Head to head- Ajax and Brighton discussion

    Yes but the way he and Ten Hag worked together was insanely good. He managed to increase the worth of players like crazy. Because his screwup came so unexpectedly there was no backup plan and no clear line to follow anymore. His leave created a negative snowball effect.
