With seven games remaining in the Eredivisie the destination of the championship is no clearer than it was at the beginning of the campaign. At this time of writing four sides are in contention separated by three points making this the most eagerly anticipated climax to any of Europe’s major leagues. Like the season finale of a gripping television drama series, its one not to be missed.
How this has come about is attributed to a new economic reality, one that has slowly weakened Dutch clubs, as a result the gap between the traditional old guard (consisting of Ajax, Feyenoord and PSV) and majority of the division isn’t as wide as it once was. You get the feeling this season won’t be a one-off.

The Beast - aka Ade Akinfenwa! - was released by Northampton Town today. We've been covering him through the playoffs - here's the 3rd and final episode of BEASTCAM this season...
According to the Royal Mail there are only six Ball Streets in the UK, all in North West England.
We didn’t live on one of those but, even though we all come from opposite ends of the country, we grew up on a ball street: a terraced arena, in footballing heartlands like Glasgow, Manchester, Luton and, er, Wakefield. Playing the game in its simplest form, where the kerb completed more passes than Iniesta.
That’s where the name Ball Street name from, but behind it lies something much bigger.
#BallStreet92
Ball Street is for all fans, all teams and we will dedicate our following to the record attendance of every team that our twitter following reaches.
Our Header image will change as our twitter following reaches the record attendances of all 92 English League Clubs.
We have already hit a few of these attendances, but live today is Aldershot Town to mark their record gate of 7500.
We would like to thank @UrbanArtCrew who we met on Twitter, for this and many other brilliant ideas.
Ball Street is passionate about giving all teams the top six treatment.
To start with we're gearing up to launch our first digital football show, initially focusing on the 92 English league clubs. Ian Wright will be the co-host and contributions from the fans will be driving our agenda.
As well as this, there are other shows and exciting opportunities in the pipeline, so we are looking for a whole host of aspiring on screen talent to join the team.
You might already be an established presenter or looking for a break, a podcaster, blogger, YouTuber or a fan who thinks you've got what it takes. Most of all, you've got to have a passion for football.
Sounds like you? then get in touch with Ball Street with your credentials.
