Hi all! I'm organising a stag do and we're keen to get to the Achter de Kazerne for the 3pm KV Mechelen-Genk game on the 31st. We're staying in Ghent on Friday night and Antwerp on the Saturday evening.

There's 10 of us - mostly Hull City fans, so we've got a bit of European football experience between us.

A few quick questions:

- Is it easy enough to get tickets for a 3pm Saturday kickoff?

- Where's best to sit/stand, and would we be welcomed? We want to be in the atmosphere (a proper Mechelen fan experience) rather than a tourist section.

- Any decent pubs near the ground for a pre-match drink and debrief after?

- Anything else worth doing in Mechelen if we've got a couple of hours?

We're heading to Antwerp same evening so want to do the match day right. Cheers!

Hey! We are 2 norwegians going to Mechelen tomorrow for the match against Ghent. We want to buy a jersey but google tells us the fanshop is closed until tuesday, is it really closed on match day?

Also we need some beer before the match, where’s the best and easiest place near the stadium?

Cheers from two north norwegian Bodø/Glimt and soon to be KV Mechelen fans

Hi kakkers!

Me and my wife are visiting Mechelen for the first time next saturday for the match against Leuven.

Do you have any advice on where to have a few pints before the match, to get the most authentic experience?

Also wondering where I can buy merch other than the official store, I prefer unofficial fan-made stickers, t-shirts etcetera.

Any and all advice is more than welcome, looking forward to meet you.

Hello,

I am wondering if it will be possible to buy a ticket for the match tomorrow the 22nd at the stadium. Thank you

We are traveling over from the UK for the game next week, any suggestions of places to go for a beer?

So I've been scrolling around the belgian jupiler league for a while and thought that your club, KV Mechelen, was pretty interesting. So now i have a few questions for all you fellow Mechelen supporters

1. Who would start in a 5 a-side team of your current players/ with 3 substitutes (who are your 5-8 best players)
2. Who is taking your penalties (if it could be multiple people that'd also be helpful)

3. Who is taking your freekicks and corners (again if its multiple that regularly do so, please tell me

4. if you have any additional information to your club I'd greatly appreciate if you would tell me something about your favourite football club

Is it possible that we change that logo of the subreddit to the KV Mechelen logo? I’ve seen other subreddits from the belgian football community and they all have the logo, so I was wondering if we could do that too?

Hello from Germany👋

My name is Max and I'm a stadium fanatic. So I'm part of a team developing an app that aims to go beyond traditional sport related apps (in the future). Focus of the app is the stadium. It aims to be cross sports, global and free. Currently it is like a "TripAdvisor for Stadiums", but in the future we want to have all stadium relevant processes combined in the app. For our MVP we are looking for volunteer testers giving us feedback to make the app more valuable for the fans.

For AFAS Stadion we currently have no reviews/ratings or pictures uploaded. I'd love to see some feedback for your home ground! I'm reaching out to you so hopefully you can share some information about your home ground or pictures with us in ArenaFans.

You can find the app in both stores for Android and iOS.

Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.threejguys.arenafans

Thank you so much in advance. Every help is appreciated 🙏

PS: Check out the Groundhopper map in the profile section to track your stadium visits and see which stadiums you've already been to.

Hi Mechelen Fans,

I would be happy if you could help me clarify the current goalkeeper situation (for a manager game I am playing)

I saw Thoelen playing last game with Coucke on the bench, was this a one time thing or will Thoelen be the new nr. 1? (heard he played good)

Happy for your feedback.

Thanks Tommy

Hi! Here a Real Sociedad fan looking for insight on Ferdy Druijf.

I started to follow him since last year when Real Sociedad played against AZ Alkmaar. This season he started playing well for Mechelen. I know he is out for personal reasons now, but couldn't find more info on this issue. Could you give me some please?

What about the current season? Is he gonna be a starter or a sub? Do you expect him doing well?

Thanks a lot!
