After a generally mid-level existence through the 70s, by the 1980s, Preussen had fallen to the regional 3rd division. A short stint in the pro ranks at the end of the decade followed a short return to amateur ranks.
The 1999-00 season proved to be succsesful, as Preussen made the cut for the new combined Regionalliga. Whether they have the resources to stay remains in question, but they will undoubtedly continue to hang around. In 2004, it took a last day away victory at Wattenscheid, but the Eagles stayed up. Disaster finally struck in 2006, and Preussen dropped down to the 4th division for the first time.

| Stadium |
Preussenstadion. Capacity: 21,700. | Built in 1926, it once held up to 45,000 in the 1950s. However, by their own admission, the condition was basically crap, so a renovation was sone in 1999. Tickets |
Couldn't find any pricing, but based on old DM prices, probably
in the 6-12 euros range. Generally not too hard
to get.
| Supporters |
Averaged 3,700 in 2004 (Regionalliga). Fairly decent, some 18 fan clubs
registered. The club sells "Preussen
Condoms", emblazoned with the Eagle symbol. This seems a bit
counterproductive, because that could reduce the number of
potential Preussen fans! If you're interested, only DM 5 and you can
go on the road trip if they ever play St.Pauli again...

www.scpreussen-muenster.de
is the official home page, and fairly informative, including
newspaper reports of matches. | Of interest to English speakers, the English Adler is a nicely done website of fans from England. |
