Happy Face 29 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 First game of 12/13 is only 18 days away now. After German reunification in 1990, Chemnitzer FC qualified for the 2. Bundesliga at the end of the 1991–92 NOFV-Oberliga. Beginning with the 1992–93 season, Chemnitz spent five years in the second tier of German football until being relegated to the then third-tier Fußball-Regionalliga in 1997, and also advanced to the semifinal of the 1992–93 DFB-Pokal during this time. Since then, the importance of the club has faded. The following four years were evenly split between the Regionalliga and the 2. Bundesliga before eventually being relegated back to the Regionalliga (III) in 2001 and subsequently to the Oberliga Nordost (IV) in 2006. The last couple of years, however, saw the club slowly rising through the German league system once again with promotions to the now fourth-tier Regionalliga in 2008 and the 3rd Liga in 2011. They play at Stadion an der Gellertstraße Between 1950 and 1990, the stadium was called "Dr. Kurt-Fischer-Stadion". The stadium was later nicknamed the "Fischerwiese".

OTF 6129 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Can't see this being any more than a runout for the reserve/youth sides. Maybe a chance for some trialists? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we can mag to grid and get a £1million or somewhere near. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChezGiven 0 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 And in perhaps the most lovely reversal of the luxuriantly bearded revolutionary theorist's fortunes, Karl Marx was recently chosen from a list of 10 contenders to appear on a new issue of MasterCard by customers of German bank Sparkasse in Chemnitz. In communist East Germany from 1953 to 1990, Chemnitz was known as Karl Marx Stadt. Clearly, more than two decades after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the former East Germany hasn't airbrushed its Marxist past. In 2008, Reuters reports, a survey of east Germans found 52% believed the free-market economy was "unsuitable" and 43% said they wanted socialism back. Karl Marx may be dead and buried in Highgate cemetery, but he's alive and well among credit-hungry Germans. Would Marx have appreciated the irony of his image being deployed on a card to get Germans deeper in debt? You'd think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mighty Hog 331 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I don't think there will be any radio. Past couple of years BBC Newcastle only covered the home games. Pretty sure they didn't cover the Darlo game either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
