During a 1999 Czech 2. Liga away match against Prostějov, club owner Jiří Novák ordered his players to walk off the pitch, with 43 minutes played and the score 2–1 to the hosts, citing the poor performance of referee Michal Paták as the reason.^[2] According to a spokesman from the ČMFS, this was the first time a professional team had abandoned a game in the league.^[3] The club was subsequently fined 300,000 CZK by the football association and match was awarded 3–0 to Prostějov.^[4] The club ceased to exist in 2000, following a merger with Slovan Pardubice.^[5]
