Tanks for your help. Let me explain whzerefor I need this information. This summer my girlfriend and I planning a vacantion to Itali. She want's to go to Liguria. Not a problem. But if you are in the region, you have to pay a visit to Juve. But she isn't a footballfan. Sow now I'm looking for teams in Liguria, to prove she can't avoid football.
And about 'dirty rat'.
Germinal Ekeren had to find a new partner in order to survive as an firstclass club. If you have folowed the Belgium competition, you now that many club have big financial problems. Remember Lommel, RWDM, KV Mechelen. During the season, they got in real deep shit and couldn't pay anymore -->Bankruptcy. What followed was an compleet malaise. Also this jear many clubs have to proceed with caution.
Germinal Ekeren was an little provence club. Sinds 1988 they played in first division. In 8 years the played 3 times the final of the belgium cub, won it 1 time. In the competition they got into Europe. But in spite of the sportif succes, only 1 time they station got sold out = 8000 people against club brugge. On normal games you've got 3000-4000 supp.
The committee was looking for new partners. First there was fc Cappellen (3 devisionclub). Later R Anwerp FC alias deurne-noord (nex season in 2 devision). But it got a fusion whit Beerschot (then 3 devision and bankruptcy).
The name Germinal Ekeren chanched into Germinal Beerschot. The board and the team of Germinal Ekeren moved to the stadion of Beerschot. The supporters of Beerschot came back. The teamcolours are purple (beerschot) - yellow and red (Germinal). The regimental number for first class is 3530 (germinal). ...
The descussion about which team is playing, is worthless. There is a new team playing in Antwerp. But still I go to watch with my scarf of Germinal Ekeren (yellow-red), cry 'germinal' instead of 'beerschot' like the rest. Look, beerschot and germinal are living only in our hearts.
And bye bye R Antwerp FC
