....although they do say:

However, Emmen are still investigating whether the fixture – one of two which Argyle had planned for their Dutch training camp at the end of the month – can be played at a different location.

Let's hope so for the sake of all those who have made travel and accommodation plans.

Absolute farce if it happens, hope the mayor reimburses all those who have made travel plans, somewhat doubt it though.

You would have thought 400 foreigners coming to visit and spend their money in your town would actually be a good thing.

A number of friendlies in Holland have been cancelled over the last couple of years. Everton had one against Groningen cancelled this year because the Mayor wouldn't pay the police costs, and Everton match against FC Twente is being played at a small town about 15 miles from Enschede.
Last year when we were in Holland WBA had a match against Eindhoven cancelled at a few days notice because of police intelligence about some Dutch hooligans planning trouble.

Let's be honest, the real reason it's been cancelled is because we're an English club. Absolute joke, hope Argyle can arrange another suitable game over there.

The mayor of Emmen, anyone got a email address for this clown, so he can refund my travel expenses?
It's a friendly football match, with 200 argyle fans at best, not a far right march, get real.
Has someone only just told him about the game, no I think not.
If a town with a population of 100,000 and a police force to match cannot cope with a football friendly and a cycle race, what town in Holland can accommodate?

Not Happy

:furious: :furious:
