Feyenoord have been given a suspended two-match stadium ban after their match against Nancy was delayed by 30 minutes due to rioting.

Uefa however have appealed against the decision, made by their independent disciplinary tribunal, insisting that the sentence is not strong enough considering the consistent bad behaviour of Feyenoord's fans.

Uefa communications director William Gaillard said: "We have appealed before on a number of occasions.

"In this case the prosecutor considers the sentence is not severe enough. The reasoning is that there have been so many previous incidents [involving Feyenoord] to just give them a suspended sentence.

"We are asking the disciplinary commission to reconsider and a more severe penalty, for example, could be for the sentence not to be suspended."

The appeal is set to be heard next month before the match against Spurs which is set for February.

Spurs have played Feyenoord four times in Europe, coming out on top twice. The 1974 Uefa Cup final, however, ended in a riot after the Dutch side won on penalties.
