Stadium attendance collapsed in 1990. Average attendance had dropped from 8,385 in the 1988-89 season to 1,076 in the 1990-91 season. Many supporters stopped attending matches after the Peaceful revolution, as the best players were sold off to clubs in West Germany, sports performance slumped, tickets prices rose, mass unemployment spread and hooligans had come to dominate the stands. Some shifted their focus to ice hockey instead. Only young supporters remained in the stadium in the beginning of the 1990s. The average league attendance of the 1990–91 NOFV-Oberliga was by far the lowest in the league history.
