The game was the first competitive European game over 5 years after Munich. The Willem ground was quite small and from what I can recall, it was moved to Feyonoord's ground to enable more fans to see the match.
@punkfootball6899 I heard that the match was moved because we didn't have stadium lights at that time. Feyenoord did and that's why the match was moved.
Great stuff. Got any MUFC stuff from the 70s? Btw, those absurd crowd noises dubbed on by Pathe make it sound like there was about 20,000 Dutchmen there. :)
Don't be surprised when i tell you there were 65.000 Dutchmen. 'De Kuip' was sold out. I know this because my father was at that game. Only half of the stadium had seats. In the rest you had to stand. That's why the capacity was so big comparing to now (approx.48.000=whole seated)
Yes you're right. I was wrong. The first match was in Rotterdam (1-1). The second one was at Old Trafford (6-1) and there weren't 20.000 Dutchman. :-)
Btw: it's Willem II instead of Willem 2. Willem II was king William the second (1792-1849) who loved to be in Tilburg.

Als je vind dat wij al slecht voetballen hoe goed moet Stillem Niks dan zijn...
Het is eerder ''Tilburg ONDER alles'' in plaats van boven.
Ga nou maar hekkie rammelen samen met de rest van die nageboortes van Stillem Niks want beter dan ons NAC worden ze toch nooit.

Hou je bek nou maar, jullie kunnen beter zorgen dat je boven Stillem Niks eindigt, want jullie stellen geen fuck voor!
Jullie waren thuis tegen Stillem Niks de stilste wankers!
