Has the joint Dutch/Belgian league been confirmed?

If it does eventually happen in a couple of years time USG are positioning themselves nicely to be involved.

Been very quiet about that potential merger since the whole Super League thing showed that it is quite difficult to just run over the fans when it comes to huge changes like that.

It's gone fairly quiet and I don't believe it's (thankfully) happening. It's been reported that the financial figures also less positive than first proposed. I believe there are plans for an annual Dutch-Belgian cup though.

Club Brugge lost only their 2nd game of the season tonight , so Union still 4 points clear at the top and Bruges played a game more . Could the impossible happen and a club just promoted to the Belgian top flight ends up winning it ?

Long way to go but it looks a possibility at least or 2nd place for Champions league qualification.

Hopefully their, soon to be, feeder club can pick up another point tomorrow.

Got my car booked on the Eurotunnel for their last game of the season.

Missing Arsenal away but the climax in Belgium is against the Ecuadorian goal scoring hero’s Beer-Shot which could see USG presented the Championship. Last day of the the season kick off times are all the same so won’t be changed.

However, just wanted to ask if you have already purchased your tickets, if not when are you planning on getting them? Are they released on certain dates?

This weekends home game against OH Leuven is sold out.
The next home game isn't yet on sale but you can buy half season tickets for their remaining 9 games.

The big question is, can you transfer season tickets? Could we buy 10 half season tickets and try to get them filled with NSC members for the remaining nine fixtures?

1-4 up.

You have to ask the question, are this Champions League destined outfit better than us now?

Doubtful if any Belgian team could beat any PL team in a best of 10 games series but they would probably win a couple.

Very difficult to assess the individual skill of the players... they sort of remind me of watching Kaiserslautern highlights from the season they won Bundesliga as newcomers. Absurd levels of confidence and no fear. Hope they can keep it up until the end of the season.

Apologies if this has been discussed but do our fan groups and those of Union have any links, I was wondering what their views are regarding TB owning them, do they have any view of the Albion and it’s fans

They are top of their elite league. If they become Belgian Champions the answer is undoubtedly yes. Good luck to them and TB.

It’s great that USG are doing well, but the Belgium first tier is nowhere near PL standard. It’s more like Championshup level.

1-5, Undav again. Very impressed by how he reads the game. This time he could easily have been offside three times but just read the offside lines perfectly as the attack carried on.
