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).

for those having to catch an early flight on sunday:Lucy wrote:Since a walk to central station from "de Rode Hoed" is around 30 minutes (or less), I think those needing to get to Schiphol won't be having much problems. Trainpersonel are not on strike.
Still, those using public transport to get to the venues need to remember this for sunday.
Cheers

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.
