Tips for the 2006 season outcome came from newspapers such as "Stavanger Aftenblad", "Fædrelandsvennen" and "Bergens Tidende". "Fædrelandsvennen" tipped a tenth place for Stord Sunnhordland, "Stavanger Aftenblad" tipped a thirteenth place (and relegation), and "Bergens Tidende" also tipped a thirteenth place. Stord Sunnhordland was eliminated by Fyllingen in the first round of the 2006 Norwegian Football Cup, In the 2006 Norwegian Second Division, Stord Sunnhordland struggled, and was even deducted two points for fielding players that were judged as non-eligible. After a loss to Flekkerøy in October the relegation was clear. A thirteenth place became the result.
