If that's true then as far as we are.concerned, you may as well not have moved away from De Meer!
We will be bringing somewhere between 5-8,000 I would guess, with or without tickets.

A classic bit of hubris that came back to bite me on the arse. One minute Mr Cocky, and the next asleep in my calzone. Old simpletons cast long shadows
Well post anyway…..
Didn't you take any?

All of Europe will be watching won’t they?

(Reposting a bit that I wrote in the discussion thread here) Hi Brighton fans! As suggested by Bozza, I'm starting this thread to introduce myself and to provide you guys with everything you'd like to know about Ajax, or to bash on us, whatever floats your boat. But I'd also love to know more about the team we'll be facing.
I'm an Ajax fan and I’m keen to provide to discussions with more information from our side of the sea! I really like Brighton and how they have been performing the last season(s). A club with history who didn’t sell their souls to oil money yet.I can’t wait for our clubs to meet in the European encounters, let’s hope they’ll be historic! I’ll be rooting for Brighton in the PL and I will be following Brighton more closely. I look forward to follow the discussions on the board.
This transfer periods has been one of the craziest I ever experienced. We are used to selling our top players every year but last year the guys that have been bought did not deliver. The downfall of Ajax after some amazing Champions League years started when legendary TD Marc Overmars had to leave the club after sending naughty pictures of himself to Ajax employees.
With a new technical director in the name of 'Diamond eyes' Sven Mislintat (former Arsenal), a new coach and staff, we spend well over 110 million euro's and basically bought a completely new squad for the coming season. Names that most fans never heard of so we have absolutely no idea how this will turn out in the end but it'll sure be interesting.
One thing is certain, European nights in the Johan Cruijff ArenA are something else. The buzz and atmosphere is so different from our Dutch league matches. Traditionally the Slahanksvenkoor is always played during our European nights so you'll be sure to see this when we meet in Amsterdam. I provided an impression from the Slavenkoor in the video below to get the hype started!

Thanks for joining. Sorry, but I cannot help but read your posts in the style of Steve McClaren's Dutch accent... very annoying!

That is shit. Come back with a better offer please or the Dyke gets it.
And is it still 2 guilders to get into the Heineken museum, with 45mins to drink as much as you can?

Thank you Vincent. Great username. I presume you must be a direct descendant of the great artist who currently has an exhibition in Brighton until Sept 10. (For Brighton locals, I urge you to see it — it’s brilliant. (https://vangoghaliveuk.com/brighton/))
Just thought I’d mention that in 1971 I saw Ajax beat Panathanaikos at Wembley to win the European Cup (forerunner of the Champions League), and have liked them ever since.
The other thing worth mentioning that you can perhaps feed back to your fellow Ajax fans is that Brighton is a very welcoming town, and that football violence and hooliganism is virtually unknown. You can travel here in total safety and enjoy the experience of being in a liberal town in a very beautiful part of England. We look forward to welcoming you. No doubt there’ll be plenty of questions for you, so thank you for being a good sport and volunteering to offer advice.
This. 100%.

Ajax is een merknaam voor verschillende soorten schoonmaakmiddelen.
Yeah I was confused about that too...
Johan Cruyff Arena currently has a capacity of 55,865 and away fans are permitted 5% of that, at minimum, so wouldn't that mean we've got an allocation of around 2,800?
Actually Liverpool got 2610 last season ....and gave the same back to Ajax at anfield
The other 200 went to players and friends. So perhaps thats what we should expect, as Ajax will still sell out.
Vincent, you and your fellow Ajax supporters would be made most welcome in our city. You won’t end up looking over your shoulder as we are a very sociable bunch. Your colours (which you should wear with pride) will merely compliment the colour of the city. I would love to buy you a beer or two if you make it over. I think you will find the banter enjoyable and the beer up to an acceptable level. I would love to get to Amsterdam again but this time to watch a game. I just don’t have enough points to warrant priority on getting a ticket for the game.
