September 20, 2017 - Czech Cup 3rd Round
HFK Olomouc (III) 1 Hradec Králové (II) 8
Att - 200
HFK Olomouc is located in Holice, which is a part of Olomouc. It is quite an industrial area, and the walk from the main train station shows this off. Since the 2000/01 season, HFK has played 9 seasons in the 2nd tier, with the most recent being in 2012/13 season. Their biggest ever success was in 2006/07 when they finished 3rd in the 2nd tier and challenged for promotion. They won promotion back to the 2nd tier in 2012/13 and finished in 4th place. Despite the strong finish, they took volunteer relegation to the 3rd division. Ever since, they have struggled on and off the pitch, and attendance has had a massive decline. At one point this season in the 3rd tier, only 78 people showed up.
The cup match against Hradec Králové was played on a Wednesday at 16:00, so interest was never going to be that high. I won't bother talking about the match as the visitors dominated throughout and the score really should have been higher.
