There is actually another team called FC Bohemians in Prague, they play in lowere division (think division 3 or 4) Bohemians Strizkov are a farce of a club, and don't worry about how their fans felt about this match, they have no fans. There average home attendance is less than 100 and is nearly all away support. The sooner they disappear the better. Bohemians 1905 are the REAL Bohemka over here. A true, proper club with amazing supporters. Best of luck to them Hi Guys, just read this article now, am an irishman living in Prague and ST holder with Slavia.

How the Strizkov fans reacted to the move is something that's interested me too. Unfortunately information on this case is hard to come by (especially in English), in truth this was the reason I felt the article was necessary originally! Strizkov are not well supported, their average attendances are easily the worst in the Gambrinus Liga (1600 av.) whilst Bohemians 1905 are fourth in the league (7000 av.). I can only assume Strizkov had some financial backing, attempted to use the Bohemians name in order to promote a very small club and it's backfired. It's a fascinating story.

Was their own name not good enough for them?? I’m with William here, why did Strizkov want to buy the brand of another club? Was their own name not good enough for them??

Did they not object to their club losing it's own identity? Steven, how did the Stirzkov fans react to all of this? Did they not object to their club losing it’s own identity?
