It didn't take long for the club to return to the main stage after winning the 1977–78 second division title its third in its history. The club had a good year in the 1978–79 tournament qualifying to the play-off tournament, a short tournament where they finished last. In the 1979–80 the club once again qualify after finishing first in group 4 with 44 points but would again have a bad play-off tournament. And so the 1970s were over having the club struggles at the beginning of the decade and finishing with back-to-back play-off berths.
