Sportpark De Melkweg II, Amsterdam Oostzanerwerf (formerly RKSV T.O.B. = Rooms-Katholieke Sportvereniging 'Trouw Ons Beginsel')
Netherlands, province: North Holland = Noord-Holland
28 I 2012 / RKSV TOB - AFC (za) 2-1 / Saturday League 2A (= NL level 6)
Note 1: RKSV TOB, founded in 1947, played their football at a ground called Sportpark De Melkweg between 1947 and 1963, when the premises had to be vacated due to an important highway tunnel (the Coentunnel, which links the parts of North Holland north and south of the North Sea Canal) being constructed on the spot. After groundsharing with De Volewijckers for three years (1963-66), the club settled down at a new Sportpark De Melkweg, situated several hundreds of yards to the east of their old home. In 1982, a covered stand was constructed - the one featuring in the photos below. On January 1st, 2013, TOB moved away from Sportpark De Melkweg, finding a new home at Sportpark Oostzanerwerf (West), home of Sporting Noord until that club's demise in mid-2012. At Sportpark De Melkweg, all football pitches were replaced by other facilities. TOB's club house has been turned into a restaurant - initially Proost & Stroop, later POF Amsterdam -, while the remnants of the aforementioned covered stand are now surrounded by allotment gardens.
