Public Transport Strike (Nov 20 Amsterdam)

For those not frequenting the NAF forums:

Now only Amsterdam is important unfortunately.

Anyway, this is a major pain and I propose the following:

We know some other companies are still working since they fall under different unions (or something like that). For those who need to reach the airport, we will have an update as soon as we know something. Otherwise, taxi's might be the only solution but get them on time since they might be busy.

In the booklet we have proposed a 3 day pass. We now propose a 2 days pass.

Very sorry for the inconvenience and chaos this might bring.

BTW, since Amsterdam is F&*%%g small, I propose that most who are already sleeping near the centre canals, don't pay for the pass anyway since you can walk (when you're sober).

Still, those using public transport to get to the venues need to remember this for sunday.

Cheers

for those having to catch an early flight on sunday:

If friday and saturday go smoothly, we hope to play a little quicker on sunday.
Still, from de Rode Hoed to Central Station is a short distance. We'll make sure to get all the players to the right track which travels to Schiphol. Please notify which teams can't play at "de Schutter" during the last round.
We do advice to have traintickets before sunday (we can help if needed).

But to be clear, the sundaymatches for those teams have to be finished at 18:30 and they need to leave immedaitely.
