From the terrace at the Plein, ADO hooligans 'defend' their city. 'If anyone destroys this city, it will still be us'

On a Saturday in The Hague, ADO hooligans gathered at Plein to protect their city from anticipated riots. They expressed their disdain for outsiders causing destruction, emphasizing their role in defending local heritage. Despite their violent reputation, they claimed to oppose vandalism and sought to enjoy their time together. As tensions rose, some hooligans ran towards Malieveld, leading to clashes with police. The atmosphere shifted between joviality and aggression, with incidents of violence reported, including an attack on a Black youth. The day ended with a mix of disappointment and reflection among the hooligans about their actions and motivations.
