Note 1: SC Voorland, formed in 1974 as a merger between TWMC and ASVK, bought the stand shown in the photos below from a football club in the western part of Amsterdam in the early 1980s. From 1985 onwards, Sporting Amsterdam (who folded in 2014) groundshared with SC Voorland at Sportpark Voorland. SC Voorland ceased all activities in 2015. Subsequently, the ground was taken over by local hockey club HC Athena, who now use it as one of the side pitches. The clubhouse was demolished in 2015 (pictures: click here), whilst the stand has been thoroughly refurbished.
