The protest was a response to the decision to ban FC Twente supporters from the Kooi Stadion following the previous match between Cambuur and Feyenoord. The supporters groups believe that the FC Twente supporters are not responsible for the incidents that occurred during the match and are therefore being unfairly punished. Cambuur Culture stated that collective punishment is 'no solution' and that the actual perpetrators should be held accountable.

The supporters groups had made it clear that their protest would be temporary, with VoetbalPrimeur reporting that they would re-enter the stadium and occupy their usual seats in the 12th minute to show their full support for Cambuur. Their message is clear: 'Stop collective punishment!'
