Rotterdam -
Het Kasteel
Sparta - PSV 0-2
Eredivisie, 7 May 2000
Around the new millennium I went to the Castle in Rotterdam often since I was living in The Hague and ADO was not my favourite club since they were playing at the bottom of the Eerste divisie and the atmosphere not always good in the stadium. At Sparta the people are friendly and a lot of families are coming. Besides that they have one of the most beautiful club songs of all: S.P.A.R.T.A. On this Sunday PSV came a just crowned champions to "Het Kasteel" and took another three points with Luc Nilis as most important player. I saw the match Sparta - PSV a number of season including Sparta's 2-1 victory in 2001.
Tickets:
At the time I had a club card of Sparta so it was easy to purchase tickets.
