Stadion FK Drnovice – stadium description

FK Drnovice is a very small club from a very small town of some 2,500 citizens. Until 1980's they played no important role in Czech football, struggling around the 8^th league. Then, however, former player Jan Gottvald stepped in, bought the side and started working on them going up. After several years of promotions and ownership changes they reached Gambrinus Liga in 1993.

The stadium was expanded to meet requirements, but not only reaching the league was a goal – reaching its top was another one. 1999/2000 season brought a record 3^rd place and just five years afterwards came bankruptcy. The club fell first to 2^nd division, then back to 10^th, lowest possible. Since then floodlights are not used, hospitality rooms empty, VIP zone destroyed. The ground is now used only for the few hundred most faithful who care about their team around the bottom.
