Just a quick check with other seasonticket holders. The ticket for this afternoon is nowhere to be found in the app for me. Anyone else with the same problem? It could be related to the fact that this match should have been months ago. Just wanted to check if this is an individual problem or a general one.
Good morning everyone, Sadly I can't make it this evening. I bought two tickets next to each other with the pre-sale combo for both matches without knowing the exact dates at the time.
The first to reply can have them for tonight for free. You have to have an account in the Ajax app so I can forward them to your mailadres.
Would be a shame if the seats stayed empty.
A Dutch podcast (podcast over media) published an interview with Vosse de Boode. She is a sportscientist working at Ajax. The interview is about the tools and equipment they use to analyze the games and players.
They have a couple of YouTube clips on the page of the program. The whole podcast is available at Podimo (podcast platform).

I loved the insight in the current capabilities of the data analyses and the examples she gives about specific players and games.
I’m struggling to find a good spot for doing my FTP tests on my road bike.
Any roadies that have a good recommendation around the city? Basically I’m looking for a spot where I can ride all out for 20 minutes without stopping. Either a long stretch for about 12-13 km or a good loop that’s suitable for this.
The best spot I’ve found so far is along the Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal. Main problem there is the crowds these days. People walking or slowly cycling makes it a bit too tricky.
I’ve trained on HR for a couple of years and decided to get a powermeter.
I’m in the middle of a training plan and I’m curious what the best way would be to switch. An FTP test in de middle of my plan would basically mess it up.
My idea would be to keep training on HR for a maybe two weeks and look at the power numbers afterwards. Am I making this to simple or is that a viable way to convert?
Would love to hear from anyone else that has switched or just has a good idea how to do this.
With both Blind and Veltman suspended for the next crucial CL game what are your thoughts on the next two Eredivisie games?
A guy like Schuurs didn't play that much the past couple of months so it might be logical to start playing him already against Utrecht and/or Heracles.
The same with testing Alvarez as a CB. I'm not sure if he's a good fit in that position but I'd rather test it in an Eredivisie game first.
Obvious downside would be Veltman and Blind not playing for a longer period, but the games with the NT might mitigate that.
EDIT 2: They've reached an agreement and the strike is canceled . So a match with normal police presence .
Edit: it’s probably safe, the KNVB confirmed the match will be played despite the possible strike.
~~I just wanted to alert everyone who might not be following the news. This weekend the police will be on strike for events so a lot of the matches in the Eredivisie a
I was having a discussion about the atmosphere in the JC Arena earlier today with a fellow season ticket holder. The last couple of games it sometimes was extremely quiet. No songs, no chanting, very little encouraging the team, just nothing.
I get that people get disappointed sometimes but it feels that playing at home almost has an adverse effect these games. Part of it is probably the quiet nature of the F-side currently. I'm not sure what's happening over there but it's clear they don't agree with the current situation at the club.
The problem is that without the hardcore fans it's difficult to get the energy going around the stadium. Not only to help the players but also for our own
parool.nlHi all,
I'm suddenly not able to make it tonight so I want to give someone the opportunity to go. It's just a single ticket for section 408. Reply to the post and I'll use a number generator to pick a winner.
EDIT 1: It's past 15:00, no more entries
Might be best to set a time limit so the winner can make arrangements to go so reply before 15:00.
Good luck!
EDIT 2: u/SexyEyeBalls will be number 1 and u/vegmondc will be number 2
EDIT 3: I'm using http://www.psychicscience.org/random.aspx to generate a random number from 2
EDIT 4: Congratulations u/vegmondc, you're the winner! I'll sent you a PM. Proof
Hi all. Before I run into injuries and other problems I would like to check how you all feel about increasing miles as a beginner.
I've been running the past couple of years and decided I want to switch/mix with biking. Living in Amsterdam I already bike everywhere I go but now I also bought a proper road bike.
As a runner I'm used to built my mileage slowly to prevent injuries. On my bike I don't have that feeling at all, it feels like I just can go for a ride every day without a problem.
Are there any signs I should look out for to be sure or should I just leave my runner brain behind and keep riding as much as I want?
I've been looking for a new (first race) bike for a couple of months and yesterday I bit the bullet. After several tests on bikes from Giant, B'Twin, Cube and Specialized I decided to get the Trek Emonda ALR 5. This bike just had a great feel from the start. I love the low weight and the riding position and the 105 groupset is perfect for my needs. It wasn't the cheapest option but I feel this bike can serve me well for a long time.
I know some racers might object but I decided to go for Shimano A530 SPD pedals. It gives me the option to use regular shoes for short rides and I can also use my MTB shoes if I want to. I'll try out the stock saddle fir
