Hadn’t heard about this but sounds like a crazy situation, and a Hollywood script to be on the verge of the postseason for the first time ever while about to be shut down.
Their recent form is abysmal, so they’re not progressing beyond the quarterfinals unless some kinda miracle happens. One of the quirks of SR is that its a round & a 1/2 and the 1/2 round is against your home countries clubs for more derbies.
