A Vitesse Arnhem vs De Graafschap fixture was postponed after visiting supporters stopped their own team's bus from leaving.
Not every fixture gets stopped by the opposition. In the Netherlands, Vitesse Arnhem's second-tier meeting with De Graafschap was postponed because the visiting side's own supporters kept their team bus from leaving for the game.
With the bus unable to depart, the visitors never made it to the stadium, and the match could not go ahead as scheduled. The fixture has been called off rather than played under disrupted conditions.
It is a rare scene in the Dutch game: fans who would normally be lining up behind their team became the reason it could not travel. Supporter protests are not unheard of in European football, but they usually play out in the stands or outside the ground, not by halting a squad before it leaves.
With the match postponed, attention now turns to when the fixture will be rescheduled and how the league and the clubs deal with the disruption. For both sides, the calendar just got more crowded.
