racist zionist fans arrive

Amsterdam: Maccabi Tel Aviv Fans Cause “Race” Riot! (8.11.2024)

Israeli Media is busy inverting events and misreporting the situation the wrong way around. The Zionist fans are deliberately expressing racist viewpoints and carrying-out acts of blatant aggression against the unsuspecting Dutch football fans. This is the initiating act of violence caused by the Zionist presence. When the Dutch fans attempt to defend themselves – the Zionists falsely report that it is the Dutch fans who have initiated this violence. The Zionists then assume the usual “victim” status against the violence they have caused – and then premise all their future aggression upon this false (self-righteous) moral view of the world. In any other aspect of modern existence, this inverted view of the world would be considered a mental illness distorting the rational flow of everyfay life.

But it is unique in that all four divisions play on the same set of pitches at 14:00 every Saturday afternoon. Every game is a home game.

The sprawling 442-acre open parkland of the Clifton Downs on top of the city’s Avon Gorge hosts 41 teams, more than 1,500 players, and over 400 matches a season.

BBC Radio Bristol spent the 2023-24 campaign there to find out about the people, players, officials and teams that make the league so special and part of the sporting fabric of the city.
