Dons friendly crowd trouble fears
Aberdeen's friendly against Go Ahead Eagles in Netherlands may be moved from Saturday to Friday amid police fears of crowd trouble.
Concerns were raised following trouble at a game last Saturday involving ex- Manchester United defender Jaap Stam against former club Zwolle.
Dons manager Jimmy Calderwood said he hoped the game would be played.
"Both teams want the game played in Terwolde, which is about five miles south of Deventer," he added.
Calderwood said it would be a pity if the friendly was scrapped amid fears of crowd trouble.
"It's not definite that it's Friday yet," he said. "It might not go on at all.
"Both teams want the game to be played in a place called Terwolde, which is about five miles south of Deventer. All the old Ajax boys were up and there was a lot of trouble with Ajax supporters who were up for the weekend

"There were big problems at Jaap Stam's last game against his old Zwolle team. It was sold-out, there were about 12,000 people there.
"All the old Ajax boys were up and there was a lot of trouble with Ajax supporters who were up for the weekend.
"That's the same police force as they have in Deventer and they had some trouble last year with the Go Ahead fans."
Calderwood said Go Ahead Eagles were hoping to find another location for the game to be played.
We've got the Dutch running scared!
