Once again, The Accies have hit the headlines in Rotterdam. Not content with Sam, Graeme and myself being photographed in the Rotown nightclub last year (click here for a reminder), The Accies have been caught up in a Dutch media circus again!
Hopefully we'll get a proper copy of this soon - with full translation from Mr Dietz - but in the meantime here's a photo of the local paper carrying the big sporting story of last weekend: the fantastic game and even better result against our Dutch friends.
Yes Stu, that is you! And you Sam - making it 2 media appearances in 2 years. And yes, I think that's Cuptain Thornes too!
Up The Accies and huge thanks to Flaccas legend Nils Ligthart for alerting us to this!

Gentlemen, at last, a rough translation:
Last Saturday, at VVOR [followed by various directions to the ground], the Anglo-Dutch Challenge Cup was contested for the 10th time. Ten years ago Graham Dietz came from London to live in Kralingen [the bit of Rotterdam where the park is] and met Nils Ligtart. Since that time, the Effra Academicals (Graham's team, who play in red-and-blue) and F&F United (the mates' team for Nils, who play in yellow) have played against each other every year, in England and Kralingen. This year the Effra Academicals won 5-2. [Then I can't read a bit of it, before...] The local councillor for Kralingen-Crooswijk, Robin de Roon, played for the F&Fs (right midfield), but he could do nothing to prevent the Cup going to the English this year.
