Dutch match postponed after fans block team bus

A Dutch second-tier match between Vitesse Arnhem and De Graafschap was called off after away team supporters blocked their own team's bus from departing for the game.

Fans of De Graafschap were protesting the decision to ban away fans from attending the game at Vitesse's GelreDome stadium after supporters had not agreed to security measures set out for the derby fixture.

Reports in Dutch media said De Graafschap fans gathered outside their stadium in Doetinchem early on Sunday and blocked the bus from leaving.

The Dutch Football Association said in a statement that the match would not go ahead on Sunday and that the matter would be referred to the disciplinary bodies.
