Antwerpen -
Het Kiel
Beerschot Wilrijk - SK Lokeren 2-2
Eerste klasse, Promotion/relegation 7 April 2018
It is a beautiful day in spring when I go to Antwerp with a friend. In the early afternoon we have a walk through the southern part of the city and enjoy some beers and a burger on the terraces of Antwerp. In the evening we go to the former Olympic stadium. There is nothing left of it: it is now just an ordinary ugly Belgian stadium. "Baarschot", as the people from Antwerp shout, tries to get a ticket to the highest division but does not succeed. Not the best football but the amusement was OK. As often in Belgium the football match is not the best part of a a groundhop trip.
