Transport system football supporters |
|
Because of huge problems with rioting football supporters in Switzerland, resulting in serious vandalism in trains, a team from the Swiss railways visits the Netherlands to see how the Dutch transport their supporters by train. For many years the Dutch have the so-called ‘Combi-arrangement’. Supporters are transported in trains from the Dutch railways, but it is all paid by the football clubs. Including the possible damage. Totally screened off by fences, steel tunnels and roll-down shutters, and accompanied by special riot police and security teams, the supporters cannot riot or damage trains anymore. If they do, they will not be allowed to join the trip to the next away game of their team anymore. Specialised reporter Marc Messchenmoser travels along with the Combi-arrangement train trip from football club Feyenoord Rotterdam to PSV Eindhoven. A scoop, because it is the first time a cameraman is allowed to travel along in the train. Although Feyenoord looses the game with 10-0 no riots or damage to trains are reported.
