1980/81 - 2nd division - Železárny Prostějov 1 Sigma Olomouc 0

A few interesting pictures of a game back in the 1980/81 season of the 2nd division group B in Czechoslovakia between Železárny Prostějov and Sigma Olomouc. Prostějov won 1-0 in front of 7,000 fans. Will we ever see this again in Prostějov?

The pictures can be found here on the SK Prostějov supporters site. Full credit to the original uploader.

January 21st, 2012 - Friendly - SK Prostějov U19 vs USC Grafenwörth (Austria - 6th tier)





January 21st, 2012
Friendly
SK Prostějov U19 vs USC Grafenwörth (Austria - 6th tier)
Attendance: 30

The first football game of the year! I haven't been able to get to any games outside of the city, so I have to do yet another update about a game in the city. I was quite interested to see this match, as it involved a youth side against a men's team from Austria. I am not quite sure what level they play at, but I think they play in the 6th tier.

Both clubs are warming up for the Spring half of their seasons, and it showed. The level of football was good enough, but there was some rusty play from both teams, which is to be expected.

I had to leave early, and come back late in the second half, but I saw two goals by the home side. So, it is perhaps safe to assume that SK Prostějov U19 won. Not really a surprise, as it is quite common to see U19 sides from the top few division defeating men's teams.

The crowd was quite small, but as far as I could tell, it was unadvertised.

December 31st, 2011 - Friendly - SK/FK Prostějov 'young' 3 SK/FK Prostějov 'old' 1




December 31st, 2011
SK/FK Prostějov 'young' 3 SK/FK Prostějov 'old' 3
Attendance: 30
Admission: Free

Desperate for a live match, I was happy when I read that SK/FK Prostějov would host a New Years Eve match. These type of matches have become more and more popular around the Czech Republic, with the biggest probably being Slavia Prague vs Sparta Prague 'oldtimers'.

The match in Prostějov had much less fan-fare, or should I say, almost zero. It kicked off at 10am, and a crowd of around 30 people were in attendance. The weather was beautiful, but I guess most people didn't know about the match, or just didn't care. Both sides were a mixture of current players, with a smattering of former players who are still playing, and from the Prostějov area.

The level of play was quite good, despite the awful quality of the artificial pitch. The city really needs to replace it as soon as possible. If they put in a better quality pitch, perhaps they could get more use out of it?
