Sander Post from Estonia. On loan, 1.99 metres tall and with one cap under his belt, he looks like a keeper!

Ehm, I mean a striker we should keep, not an actual goalkeeper.

According to the lads on the Eagles website their main rivals are the hated Zwolle and McClarens Twente. So either you are an Eagles fan or a fan of the "wally with the brolly".

Onze rivalen zijn Zwolle en FC Twente.

Hello Dutch People

jaykay74

GAE history lesson posted on Eagles forum

From our former supporters website (years ago already, about the year 2000 I suppose) and actualised a bit:

The history of Go Ahead Eagles

The footballclub Go Ahead Eagles was founded in Deventer in1902 as "Be Quick". Soon they had to change name (orders from the Dutch Football Association), and Go Ahead was chosen as new clubname. As an amateurfootballclub Go Ahead reached the national top. Apart from a lot of regional (Eastern) championships Go Ahead became national champion four times, in the years 1917, 1922, 1930 en 1933.(See also the palmares). In the season 1920-1921 Go Ahead started playing football on the ground where it still plays nowadays, later on it would be called the "Eagles-nest".

At first the stadium was reached through an entrance at the "Veenweg", but in the "30s de main entrance was moved to the "Vetkampstraat". In 1924 the first tribune-with-a-roof was built, followed by the headtrbune in 1934 (which was a great art of stadiumbuilding in those days). After the introduction of professional football the stadium finally had only tribunes-with-roof and no open tribunes anymore. For over a decade it was believed that there had to be built an entire new stadium, to be ready as soon as possible. At that time it should have looked like the new SC Heerenveen. stadium. After numerous locations proposed in and around the city of Deventer, which were all cancelled by protests of futrue neighbours, protests of "trree-huggers", and failing local government action, GA Eagles was left as almost the sole professional football club in the Netherlands without a brandnew stadium. In the end the club (almost bankrupt and way from the dutch Premier League) self decided to renovate the old authentic stadium for the time being, and perhaps give plans for a new home ground a new chance in the future. The advantage is that GA Eagles as one of the few historical clubs still plays in "the home of football", a nice old stadium that has "seen it all", still located in the middle of the residential zone between old houses.
Current capacity is 6.400.


A 360 degrees camera look that comes close to the current view of our home ground can be found here:

http://www.ga-eagles.nl/images/pano_stadion.swf


Go Ahead started playing professional football in the lowest of the lowest : the Second Division (which doesn't exist anymore nowadays, we only have two professional leagues and yes we're very jealous at all those leaugues in e.g. England ). In 1956-1957 Go Ahead finished as 13th in the 2nd Division A and left just two other clubs behind: Zwartemeer and Enschedese Boys. After this difficult first professional season it would only go better and better, resulting in the third season in promotion to the First Division. Goalscorers in those days: Mos, Butter Groninger and Van Brussel (see also scoreres per seizoen tables).

Succes also followed in the First Division and after four seasons and 235 goals promotion to the Premier League was realized.(1963).

The succes-story continued initially at Premier League level. But what one didn't know by then was that one had reached the top prestation (up till and including 1996) after 5 seasons with a 3rd place in the final standings of the 1967-1968 season..

In 1965 Go Ahead was allowed to play European Cup football, for the first and so far last time, after losing the Cupfinal to champions Feyenoord Rotterdam.They played Celtic Glasgow on the 29th of September 1965. At home they lost 0-6 and in Glasgow the green-whites won by 1-0. Since the 1st of July 1971 Go Ahead got the extension "Eagles" (an idea of Barry Hughes).Go Ahead Eagles (now separated from the amateurs) chose to play in purple-white ( like Anderlecht). In the '80s the footballers in Deventer returned to their well-known yellow-red outfit. In 1973 an "away"-WC qualification match against Iceland was played in Deventer, in the stadium of the Eagles, final result: 1-8 for Holland, goals:Cruyff, Brokamp (both two),Schneider, Van Hanegem and Rene van de Kerkhof. The glory days of Go Ahead Eagles were already over by then. After 1973 the Eagles never reached the top ten in the Netherlands (except for 1979). As a result of the ever growing amount of money pumped in nowadays professional football Go Ahead has slipped down the rankings and after a couple of "near"-relegations they finally did relegate to the first Division after 24 years Premier League football.

This time the Eagles weren't so succesfull in the First Division. And still they succeeded in promoting back to the Premier League in 1992 with an 11th place in the final First Division ranking, after a lost "promotion-competition"-final and in the end a win over FC The Hague (16th in the final Premier League ranking that season). In Deventer the Eagles beat The Hague by 3-0 and in the Residence they won again by 0-1.

Again the way up was bend over in the way down again, leading to the second relegation to the First Division after a disappointing last place in the final Premier League ranking in the season 1995-1996. Th next season the club missed promotion right back to the Premier League on goal diffeerence in the playoffs. NEC Nijmegen kept their Premiership-status. Ever since the Eagles have been struggling in the First Division, with more recently in the last two seasons making it to the promotion/relegation play-offs, however both times knocked out after the first round.

Still GA Eagles' fans hope for another playoffs competition at the end of the season... Que sera sera....

Plans are that sooner or later the official website of GA Eagles at www.ga-eagles.nl will be rebuilt, and I have asked for a small english section to be included already a couple of weeks ago. This might gain relevance now that there seems to ne an interested Irish community We'll see, I repeat I have no concrete time schedule for a new official website, we'll have to wait and see.

BTW: It would be nice if you could send me some photographs of you in Ireland to share here: either post them in the forum or send them to me by email:

FC Twente........ Losers

2108: Schome bad news for ex-England manager Schteve McClaren as his FC Twente side have gone out of the Uefa Cup, despite a 1-0 win at home to Rennes. They exit 2-2 on the away goals rule.

Dunno if I should open another thread for this, but I reckon we should get together a few chants for the derby match on Sunday.

This one's for the big man, although it's a little clumsy to sing from the terraces



Like a character by novelist Laurens Van Der Post*
Big and blond and scary he is the man that most
Defenders **** their pants at when they see him man the post
On our giant we're reliant, give it up for Sander Post!




*South African novelist, humanitarian and war hero

Just so everyone knows.

G.A.E made us our own forum on their forums .

Has nobody set up a social group? I was going to do it, but I thought KaG or someone should do the honours. It'd be a good substitute in the absence of a forum.

Also, type 'Go Ahead Eagles' into Google image search. The first result is 'Make Go Ahead Eagles YORE boards.ie team'

I could do but forgive me for being a forgetful/lazy ****. Who was the guy making all those class sigs? He might be the perfect canditate to do up a homepage!

Des got some feedback on his match thread

Overmars should be coming off the bench for the second half. Post is starting from what they think. Good stuff

I'm shelving plans for a Van der Wal song until the kid gets a decent run-out in the side.
Is the other giant, from Gothenburg in the picture for the showdown with **olle?

I've always hated **olle for no particular reason. Now I have one, it's all gravy!

maikie

Apparently this guy we have on loan Mathias Ranégie is good too & from waht Makkie said he's also ****ing huge !

pickarooney

In addition to the two giants we also have a guy called Sjoerd Ars (pronounced almost exctly like shorte-arse)

Ah, seems he's buggered off to Roosendaal. Pity, he's got a very impressive strike rate (5 in 6 so far this season, 15 from 36 last).
