Hooves against ultras: cavalry police were called in to restore order at the Groningen stadium in Amsterdam Yesterday, the match between Groningen and their opponents was marred by chaos in the stands. Groningen fans provoked a fight near the away team’s section. As a result, the stadium management had to call on cavalry police to restore order. Such measures are extremely rare in Dutch football, and they indicate a high level of danger. The Dutch Football Federation has already initiated disciplinary proceedings against Groningen. As a result, Groningen could face partial closure of its fan zone and significant fines.
