Makoto Nakamura Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Nothing looks more romantic than Eastern European pitches in the winter. Welcome to the Czech Republic, or Czechia. More specifically to TJ Podyjí Černíč a club who after holidaying for a season have gained promotion to the 7th tier of Czech football, the league I'm starting in is called I. B třída Kraje Vysočina Skupina A so it easily rolls off the tip of your tongue. The Czech Lower Leagues + Logos located here: https://www.fmseries.cz/viewtopic.php?f=361&t=11808 The aim? Slowly make my way up the Czech league system before fighting it out with the big boys! No staff but apparently Andrej is our best player. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted November 16, 2021 Author Share Posted November 16, 2021 Finally found a picture which has the pitch in it! The village Černíč is located in the district of Jihlava in the Vysočina region . 121 inhabitants live here . It lies at an altitude of 485 m, 6 km south of Telč on the Moravian Dyje , which on the northwest side of the village flows through the Černíč pond , which is a natural monument for its flora. The valley of the Moravian Dyje is quite wide in these places (up to 500 m) because it flows into it from the right side of the river Myslůvka . The whole locality is very wet with peat meadows. The Kostelec u Jihlava railway line passes through the village -Slavonice , built in 1902 . The Slaviboř railway station , 500 m away from the village, is common to Černíč and its local part Slaviboř. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted November 16, 2021 Author Share Posted November 16, 2021 2022/23 Pre-Season Three wins from four, a very good pre-season. Still predicted right up in 4th. In spite of the fact that we are down to seven players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted November 16, 2021 Author Share Posted November 16, 2021 August 2022 Fun fact, from the 3rd tier down there are no draws in Czech football, if it's a tie after 90 minutes then game is settled by penalties, two points gained for a penalty win and one gained for a penalty loss. We're now down to six players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makoto Nakamura Posted November 16, 2021 Author Share Posted November 16, 2021 September 2022 A strong month with two wins and two penaly wins actually sees us climb to 3rd! Our under 19's also lost in the second round of what I think is the regional cup? To a team in the 6th tier. Seriously, this database could be amazing, there's close to 318,000 changes to the database and it's all in the Czech Republic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makoto Nakamura Posted November 16, 2021 Author Share Posted November 16, 2021 October 2022 Another very good month as we hold on to 3rd, we're eight points behind Velky Beranov but I have no plans on wanting to gain promotion, I want us to get a full squad, then slightly improve on that squad so we actually deserve promotion.
