The NAC stadium is an all-seater I think, so I'm not sure what you're getting at :undecide:

Surprised myself. Thought it was all-seater too myself. Guess they've followed the German way in ripping out the seats in GG to have a more atmospheric standing area?

I did that but it bombed, Firefox doesn't like NAC

Oh well

 

[RosenborgFan]

Any clue what the capacity is with just seats being used?

Is Omroep Brabant the channel broadcasting the match?

 

[Andor]

16.400 and no channel is broadcasting it.

 

[Wally]

Strange really. It's a pretty interesting match-up on paper. Hopefully there still will be a buyer in the days to come.

 

[Slagathor]

Not even Omroep Brabant? How hard could it be to smuggle a camera in there

 

[Knoert]

Not even Omroep Brabant?

As far as I know they never broadcast live matches... the only have summaries of the Eerste Divisie matches (only Brabant clubs) during the weekend...

Also, as far as I can remember, Intertoto matches have never been shown live on TV here in Holland, no one cares about this cup, unfortunately...

 

[Andor]

If you want to see it you have to go to the stadium I guess € 10,- with no clubcard sounds reasonable

 

[Slagathor]

Paying money to watch NAC, that's a new one

Speaking of the dreaded CC; I just ordered my shiny new AZ club card weee

Our best player this season is still suffering from a knee injury: Demidov misses NAC match

Partly because of the injury, Demidov has not played well after the summer holiday, so he is not necessarily a big loss. Nordvik has after all some minutes more experience in European cups than Demidov; both made their debut at this stage against Fiorentina in February.

Stadsgaard, Pelu and Basma are all back from injuries, but lack of training make them all just reserves. Goalkeeper Jarstein was sick on Sunday, but is fit for fight.

Expected Rosenborg line-up:

Rune Jarstein

Fredrik Stoor - Andreas Nordvik - Alejandro Lago - Roy Miller

Per Ciljan Skjelbred - Alexander Tettey - Didier Konan
Marek Sapara

Yssouf Koné - Steffen Iversen​

 

[RosenborgFan]

Stadsgaard won't be at the bench - exactly a misprint at the official website. He will return in two weeks, and most likely misses the 2nd leg too.

Robert Maaskant:

"As a sportsman you always want to win, but the Rosenborg tie comes at an unfortunate time for us," said the 39-year-old, who left MVV Maastricht to replace Brandts this summer.

"We are only in the third week of pre-season training. Rosenborg, who are still a strong team with a lot of Champions League experience, are coming too soon. We will try to get the group fit for the match, but we cannot do much more."

You have got to be kidding me

NACs confirmed formation:

Jelle ten Rouwelaar

Ahmed Ammi - EO Penders - Patrick Zwaanswijk - Tyrone Loran- Patrick Mtiliga

Kees Kwakman
Ronnie Stam

Joonas Kolkka - Matthew Amoah - Anthony Lurling
​

Ellery Cairo on the bench. Feher will miss the came cos of an injury

Seriously wtf? 5-2-3?! Defend and then long ball or counter with help of the wing backs?
so unDutch working with 3 centre backs in this formation but hey if it works

 

[chivu]

Jeez, that game is already tomorrow. Is it live somewhere? In case om anxious to get some football action.

 

[RosenborgFan]

Strange formation, but it might be good. Expect it will more 3-4-3 in attack.

The big topic in Norway today, is that Viking lost 0-1 to Vetra in the UEFA Cup after this situation. Maybe Vetra should have copied Ajax, but away goals in European cups are worth twice...

:howler:

What's that for nonsense, we got a bad image up north, haha...

Anyway, good luck. :thumbsup:

Of course the wingbacks, especially Ammi, can play as true wingers as well, I remember Ammi scoring goals as a right-winger last season...

It's a very 'safe' one from Maaskant though, he's known as a 4-3-3 lover I thought.

That's very harsh... but Viking got a goal back immediately after Vetra scored?

Normally Viking should be able to beat them anyway at home I guess.

EDIT: They didn't!

They still have to play the second game Knoert. Looked a bit intentional though that shot on goal. Not like Vertonghen's case a few seasons ago.

Yes, that's why I said I think Viking should be able to beat them at home anyway .

Agree on the second part, unfortunately it's never to prove...

 

[Knoert]

So NAC has beaten Rosenborg 1-0.

Good score to enter the return... Amoah scored after 19 minutes. No more info yet.
