We came from the 2nd division but have a proud history. So, as a newcomers, we will be ok with a mid-table, but to be honest we want more.

Yesterday was the last game of the season. What a great escape that was. WE played against Avangard Kursk at home and the standings before the game was

16. Avangard Kursk----41---15---6----19--------48-51-----51
17. Matellurg-Kuzbass-41---13---8----19--------49-69-----50
-----------------------------------------------------------------
18. SKA Rostov-------41---12---11---17--------45-57-----50

Metallurg won 1-0 at home and the deciding game of the season was SKA v Avangard. Ska should have won. Avangard settled for a draw to escape a relegation.

It was a rainy and windy afternoon, just 5C, 7,000 fans.

SKA Rostov was 2-0 up till 73th minute, but it was 2-2 just 5 minutes before the end. It was absolutey shock. But SKA scored the winning goal at the 87-th minute and after the final whistle it was some celebration with a pitch invasion. It was like we won a Champions League!
