FC Twente was prepared to go to great lengths to make the match with away fans possible, even offering to help SC Cambuur with organisation and security. The club had tested with the competition board to postpone the match, so SC Cambuur would have more time to take necessary measures. However, the competition board saw no possibilities for this. The decision of the local authorities stands in contrast to a fair progression of the competition, and FC Twente feels they are being unfairly disadvantaged. The mayor of Leeuwarden has stated that he will not reverse his decision. As a result, 776 FC Twente supporters will be unable to attend the match.
