ok, ok, it was a miracle to begin with that the fc baulmes, the football club of a 1000 person village and pride of the whole region, was able to stay in the second highest league of switzerland for as long as they did. and what a great symbol it has been, a small passionate fotball club can make it among the rich clubs.
now the dream is over, fc baulmes is relegated to the lower, regional divison. but the way it happened, that’s just too cruel … omg.
all the fc balumes needed was a victory to climb above the ominous bar since the 2 other teams envolved in the relegaton struggle were facing eachother. by halftime baulmes was up 2:0, but after 62 min. locarno manged to inscribe first one and then in the 92nd minute of the game a second goal. in the 92. minute!
my godson, who lives in baulmes, doesn’t care. for him the fc b is last years hype. now i do wonder what the village with its 1000 inhabitants might do with its plans for a 5000 capacity stadium?
