Go Ahead Eagles 2012/13

Change of kit for my Netherlands boys , same great colours though Doing alright too so far this term , can't defend set plays though , and tend to draw a bit too much .

Looks like Watford, Jim.
Any images of the ground, and those all important goals, or are they standard box over there too?

Kit wise Steve , just going back to earlier variations I reckon

The Adelaarshorst (Eagles nest )



Goals are just boring "box"type now Steve I'm afraid .
Lost 2-0 at home last night to Dordrecht as well

Picture of the ground in the late 60's before Eagles was added to Go Ahead and ground was re-named in '71

We have something in common following 'Eagles'...

We've loads more in common than that mucker See Willem II are propping up the Eredivisie

Like the ground shots, Jim. Shame about the box goals.
Reckon that retro kit would look great on the Santiago Vintage figures!

No Lee , not yet , it's on my to do list though .

Oooer amazing game last night
Excelsior 1 v 6 Go Ahead Eagles
scorers - Kolder x2 , Promes x2 ,Houtkoop ,van Diermen all this after going a goal down after 8 mins

Looking forward to seeing that kit on those vintage figures, Jim!

OK Steve , Mark let me have a couple of blank teams of these figures cos he'a a very good mate , he'll be selling them to all soon enough .1930'S/60'S Go Ahead

They look brilliant Fox. I think these figures will be very popular. The definition is very good. Will definitely be looking to get some of these.

Ah, love it, Jim. That kit and those figures are a marriage made in heaven.

Guess you'll be havin' a flick of a Sunday afternoon!

Thanks for the positive comments chaps , here's the other team I did , pretty obvious choice really

The mighty Leicester Fosse 1884 ish

Looking forward to seeing the action shots from this CLASH of the TITANS!

Nice job, Jim.

The mighty Eagles are just ONE game away from a return to the Eredivisie for the first time since 1996 All of this after Brugges nicked one of our best players in the Jan transfer window (Joey Suk ) Played really well last 3 months and qualified for play-offs in 6th (top 9 gets you a play-off spot in Netherlands ) Strange div the second tier this season 2 teams went bust ( AGOVV , and Veendam ) and results against them were void .However FC Dordrecht were dispatched 6-3 on agg quickly followed by a 4 -0 agg win over Eredivisie side VVV meaning GAE had a two leg affair v Volendam for top flight place . Volendam were in top spot and set for promotion on last day of normal season when we gubbed 'em 3 zip at theirs which meant SC Cambuur were promoted automatically instead First leg was Thur at ours , we won 3 - 0 2nd leg is today .COME ON
P.S. after the week I've had Volendam will turn it around and win 4 nowt or on pens or some other obscure thing will happen to mug me right off and condemn the lads to another season of 2nd tier mediocrity a la Leicester City

I wish them well, Jim.
Would you like me to put a few pennies on their opponents?
That oughta stop 'em :-)

Lost 1-0 , so won 3-1 on agg soooooo chuffed for the lads , brilliant made my day a lot better

Deventer, 70 miles to the wrong side of Amsterdam for me - I am living in Haarlem 12 miles to the west of Amsterdam but perhaps we can take in a game when they play at Ajax
