It all started on the Twitter account with an invitation to skaters Erben Wennemars, Kjeld Nuis and Suzanne Schulting to strengthen the team on the “slippery field” at Telstar (in Velsen-Zuid). The match was eventually cancelled, after a futile bus journey of 3 hours from Maastricht.
The person responsible for the social media account wrote on Twitter: “Because I was hired to report on something tonight, you can follow our return journey to Maastricht from minute to minute.”
And that happened: via a “quiet opening phase” on the A9, a “SHIT-TO-RUN-THE passing movement by the bus driver” (“This is what people come to the highway for”) and a “fair duel” in the back the bus about who was allowed to operate the aux cable. Another 8 minutes of playing time was added due to a short traffic jam. And ‘the game stopped for a while’ because Orhan Dzepar hadn’t finished his McKroket yet.
