#BallStreet92

  Ball Street is for all fans, all teams and we will dedicate our following to the record attendance of every team that our twitter following reaches.

Our Header image will change as our twitter following reaches the record attendances of all 92 English League Clubs.

We have already hit a few of these attendances, but live today is Aldershot Town to mark their record gate of 7500.

We would like to thank @UrbanArtCrew who we met on Twitter, for this and many other brilliant ideas.

PILLARS OF THE GAME TODAY

As Europe searches for drama, the Eredivisie’s title race rises

With seven games remaining in the Eredivisie the destination of the championship is no clearer than it was at the beginning of the campaign. At this time of writing four sides are in contention separated by three points making this the most eagerly anticipated climax to any of Europe’s major leagues. Like the season finale of a gripping television drama series, its one not to be missed.

How this has come about is attributed to a new economic reality, one that has slowly weakened Dutch clubs, as a result the gap between the traditional old guard (consisting of Ajax, Feyenoord and PSV) and majority of the division isn’t as wide as it once was. You get the feeling this season won’t be a one-off.
