## Summary

A Dutch second-tier match between Vitesse Arnhem and De Graafschap was postponed after De Graafschap supporters blocked their team bus from leaving for the game. The protest followed a ban on away fans at Vitesse’s stadium, imposed after the clubs and security authorities failed to agree on measures for the regional derby.

The Dutch Football Association condemned the disruption and referred the matter to its disciplinary bodies. Vitesse had offered 500 away tickets, below the usual 800, subject to security conditions including inspection of supporters’ paraphernalia; it said some fans would not accept those terms. De Graafschap disputed Vitesse’s account, and no new date has been set.
