St Vith, Raeren, Malmedy (partially German speaking) and Kelmis (now in 3rd division!) all have clubs too. In Eupen there is also a second club (which is amateur only) called FC Eupen.<br /><br />- RWDM was murdered by the FA (I deliberately chose this term because the FA has been very harsh on them while turning a blind eye to some other clubs with more debts than RWDM had) and thus could no longer merge with any club. Strictly seen, FC Brussels is just KFC Strombeek which relocated to Brussels to assure a team would play in the stadium that RWDM left behind. To try to attract fans of the former RWDM the club changed its name to FC Molenbeek Brussels Strombeek, usually abbreviated to FC Brussels. They are not really a merger, although they try to brand themselves as such to attract fans from the former RWDM. The real RWDM was brutally murdered by the license commission of the FA, a real shame because it was truly a great club with a long and proud history. Some clubs with more debts were spared by that same FA for god knows what reason.Gerritnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338911017388638492.post-7457023935096028522008-12-13T13:42:00.000+00:002008-12-13T13:42:00.000+00:00I still support FC Brussels, despite its many flaw...I still support FC Brussels, despite its many flaws. R. Union SG is a sinking ship (surprised you didn't visit their stadium though, they were by far the most succesful club in Belgium before WWII - lots of history there) and Anderlecht are just a bunch of insufferable cunts, so I'll take what's left ;)<BR/><BR/>Nice to see an outsider's perspective, I'll be keeping an eye on this blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338911017388638492.post-84882197888320222532008-12-01T22:13:00.000+00:002008-12-01T22:13:00.000+00:00I laughed at that first paragraph, it's one I've u...I laughed at that first paragraph, it's one I've used many times, but with different places and football clubs.Shaunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14248307280874291642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338911017388638492.post-68032750118553417972008-12-01T14:04:00.000+00:002008-12-01T14:04:00.000+00:00Very good as usual DannyVery good as usual DannyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
