Not only the clubs that are preparing for the second half of the season in the Netherlands are affected by the winter weather, the clubs that sought refuge abroad are also not spared. For example, SC Heerenveen had to look for a charter flight and Go Ahead Eagles chose to extend their training camp by two days.
Go Ahead Eagles
Go Ahead was actually supposed to return to the Netherlands on Wednesday afternoon. However, the people of Deventer have little confidence that their flight can go ahead. That is why the Eagles have already decided that they will not return to the Netherlands until Friday. Trainer Melvin Boel indicated yesterday that he was thinking about a longer stay in Spain with his team. Go Ahead resumes the competition on Sunday with a home game against Fortuna Sittard.
SC Heerenveen
SC Heerenveen also suffered a setback during the completion of their training camp. The selection of trainer Robin Veldman is staying in Spain and was planning to fly back to the Netherlands on Wednesday evening, but that flight was canceled due to the winter conditions in the Netherlands.
The plan was to fly back to the Netherlands from Barcelona around 5:45 PM, but the flight was canceled. The Frisians have now managed to arrange a charter flight on Wednesday afternoon. Landing at Groningen Airport Eelde is preferred. If that is not possible, we will move to Weeze or Münster.
Heerenveen will take on Feyenoord at home on Sunday afternoon, that is the plan. The Rotterdammers are also currently staying in Spain. When asked, PSV and Feyenoord do not expect any problems for their return trip to the Netherlands. They have their own charter. The people of Eindhoven return home on Tuesday evening, while the people of Rotterdam leave Spain a day later.
