In the long term, the shape curve is pointing downwards. Since the forced relegation from the regional league (because Grödig gave up professional football) Neumarkt dismantled. Twice the club missed promotion as runner-up, then in fourth with three promoted teams. Fourth place was last twice when the season was canceled, currently the Flachgauer ranks ninth under coach Fritz Oberascher. In the derby against Straßwalchen, they were on course to win for a long time, conceding the 1: 1 with a penalty in the 89th minute. “Before the game I would have liked to take a point,” said chairman Mike Thalhammer (50), not wanting to be too strict. As a “mascot”, he is itself a success factor at the Wallerseern. Three of the four wins come when he was a substitute goalkeeper on the bench. “I should do it again against Eugendorf,” smiled the functionary himself. “At Straßwalchen, whoever asked me whether I was a replacement.”
