Arguments in “Berber’s Bastion”: Přeštice have a problem with the football players’ strike
Now local football is being talked about in a different context. Again very pleasant.
The summer brought confusion to the established conditions in the city south of Pilsen: the local sports association leased, under certain conditions, competition licenses for both of its adult teams (the A team operating in this year’s ČFL and the B team operating in the I. A class) for a fixed period until the end of the season 2023/2024 to the company ROBSTAV, which manages both men’s teams. However, TJ Přeštice continues to patronize football, including youth teams, and manage the entire football complex.
The suffocation in Přeštice continues. Current players of the reserve team will start in III. class
But… They were significantly more pronounced between the two subjects. The B team players are on strike after the coach was fired. Communication between officials is poor.
“It was repeated in the press and on social networks that the representatives of FK ROBSTAV Přeštice are ready for a meeting this week, so we were surprised by the response stating that the meeting is absolutely unnecessary and that they are handing the case over to the legal representative,” said TJ Přeštice chairman Martin Kadaník.
“The demands of the committee of the TJ Přeštice football club are to return to the original state of cooperation with FK ROBSTAV Přeštice, which worked until last season. That is the nomination of the coach and the player squad of the B team was under the responsibility of TJ Přeštice. At the same time, we requested the return of the license for the B team competition from 1 July 2023,” he said.
You were with the old guard
The result of the strike? Béčko did not score a single goal this year, last time they lost shamefully 0:27 when the owner invited a new player.
At the same time, things are going well in the ČFL, at the weekend they got lucky in Domažlice (5:1 win) and coach Stanislav Purkart praised the atmosphere. “This was absolutely amazing. We are very happy that we had this favor in Přeštice,” he said, referring to the almost 800 spectators in the stands.
Šádek: The club is secured for several years. So he continues to look for an investor or owner
But what about B? The players of the A team did not get together, so the match in Horšovské Týn was canceled. For the third time in one.
According to the rules, the reserve should end in the regional competition…
But it is not the end, the matter still has a continuation. After all the problems, TJ Přeštice managed to register another team – in the lowest competition. The existing players from the reserve thus started for the newcomer. And they managed their debut with bravura – they won 16:0 on the ground of Merklín B.
“It was a definite matter, but from the next match there should be five or six of us left from the original team who want to help move Přeštice higher. The team will be supplemented by players from the old guard. TJ will send the other young guys to higher competitions, because in the lowest class, they haven’t moved anywhere football-wise,” noted one of the movers, Ivan Blahoudek, and added: “It’s a shame, a sad situation, but nothing can be done anymore. It’s impossible to continue.”
