Gekke koeien

AMSTERDAM, Jan 31 (Reuters) - Ajax Amsterdam fans let two cows loose on the team's pitch on Wednesday to protest against the poor state of the turf. The grass in the Amsterdam Arena has been replaced 24 times since the stadium was opened in 1996 but critics say the pitch has not got much better. One of the two cows made its contribution to improving the quality of the grass by providing some natural fertiliser of its own. The next team to visit the Amsterdam Arena will be Willem II Tilburg, who play Ajax on February 11 and may request permission to train there the day before the game to get used to the conditions
