The history of the form of Roda JC

Merge ( 1955–1962 ) [edit ]

Roda JC Kerkrade came into being as the result of a fusion of several football clubs from Kerkrade. In 1954, SV Kerkrade ( established 1926 ) and SV Bleijerheide ( 1914 ) merged to form Roda Sport. That same year, Rapid ’54 ( 1954 ) and amateur club Juliana ( 1910 ) merged to form Rapid JC. Rapid JC was one of the most successful clubs of that clock time, winning the Championship play-off in 1956. In late years they would only finish in the top 10 once, when they finished second in the 1958–59 season. Roda Sport, however, were relegated to the Tweede Divisie and stayed there until the latest fusion with Rapid JC, to form Roda JC .

Struggling and staying at the exceed division ( 1963–94 ) [edit ]

After the amalgamation they began in the Eerste Divisie in the 1962–63 temper, but were relegated the same season after finishing 16th. The following season they about achieved forwarding again, but they lost in the play-off and remained in the Tweede Divisie for eight years. After their fall to the Eerste Divisie, it only took a farther two seasons before they were promoted to the Eredivisie, when they finished beginning. The club are finally in the premier division, but did not manage to qualify for a european contest even though they finished near the top several times. They only qualified for Europe once when they lost in the finals of the KNVB Cup in 1975, but they lost in the first round off, 5–3 on aggregate, to Anderlecht. In the 1986–87 season they last finished eminent enough for the european Cup play-offs in the Netherlands, but lost their topographic point to Utrecht. One year late they finished 15th and struggled to avoid relegation to the Eerste Divisie. They did, however, reach the finals of the KNVB Cup. Since PSV already had a place in Europe by winning the Eredivisie, Roda JC besides earned a place in the european Cup. With the fiscal back of entrepreneur Nol Hendriks, this was the clubhouse ‘s most memorable european campaign, when Roda made it through the winter in the european Cup Winners ‘ Cup before succumbing to the superb strikers of bulgarian Sredets Sofia, Hristo Stoichkov, Lyuboslav Penev and Emil Kostadinov, who became superstars in Europe ‘s major football leagues. Two years subsequently, they finished fifth twice, but only once gained a rate in a european rival. They did well in the KNVB Cup in 1990–91, reaching the semi-finals, and a year belated reached the finals .

dutch and european achiever ( 1994–2000 ) [edit ]

Roda ‘s most memorable european pit was played on 28 February 2002. After a 0–1 frustration at the hands of Milan in Kerkrade, Roda caused panic at San Siro by winning the render leg by the like score. The alone goal scored during this match was made by Mark Luijpers. Roda even took the lead in the penalty shoot-out, but ended up losing the serial, alone being one penalty away from eliminating Milan. Since then, Roda have merely qualified twice for the UEFA Intertoto Cup, in 2003–04 and 2004–05. In late years, they did manage to qualify for the play-offs but never won it. Roda ‘s position in Dutch football is best illustrated by their history in the KNVB Cup. Roda were good enough to make it to six finals, but the first three times and the last time the opponent in the concluding was one of the “ bad Three ” – and Roda went home with the eloquent decoration : PSV won in 1976 and 1988 and Feyenoord in 1992 and 2008. however, in two of the cabaret ‘s cup finals, a non-Big Three side was the opposition.

In 2008, the club gained its final noteworthy success by reaching the KNVB Cup final. In the final, opposition and home side Feyenoord proved to be excessively strong, winning 2–0. One year subsequently, the two teams met again in De Kuip for the concluding round of the 2008–09 Eredivisie season. Roda JC needed a winnings to avoid direct relegation, and against all odds, Roda JC defeated Feyenoord to qualify for the promotion/relegation play-offs. Roda finally won the play-offs, defeating Cambuur in a punishment shoot-out. In 2010, the club added “ Kerkrade ” to its name, so the raw entire name of the sports club is now Roda JC Kerkrade. This was one of the conditions set by the municipality of Kerkrade, in return for their sponsorship. Roda JC finished in 16th side in the 2012–13 Eredivisie season and were consequently again forced to participate in the play-offs. The Coal Miners came out victorious again after a late free-kick achiever by Mark-Jan Fledderus against Sparta Rotterdam, extending the clubhouse ‘s bide at the highest level for another temper .

Supporters [edit ]

Although not the most vocal, the supporters of Roda JC are broadly considered to be among the most firm and well behaved in the Netherlands. In the early days of the golf club, Kaalheide was the cabaret ‘s home plate earth. initially, supporters could roam free over the terraces. however, in the 1970s, fences were placed between the versatile sections, preventing supporters to move from one bandstand to the other. The fanatic supporters decided to unite at the cover north side stand, creating an old fashioned, atmospheric digest. Kaalheide became an ill-famed stadium for visiting teams. Since moving to the Parkstad Limburg Stadium in the summer of 2000, the more fanatic supporters can be found behind the finish on the West side. The West Stand was renamed ‘Koempel Tribune ‘ ( Miner Stand ) in September 2014 to honour the fans who remained patriotic to the club after the relegation four months early.
