Here is the URL of the article about this forum. http://sports.media.daum.net/nms/soccer/news/general/view.do?cate=23758&newsid=992226 I wish this forum will be active. Bye!

I've been trying to find out about your club from Wikipedia but all I can ascertain is that your club was moved to Jeju in 2006 and so you formed your own club. I know nothing about Korean football and I haven't found any information on the Internet either, so I don't know where your club is situated in the Korean football league - or if indeed it is in the league. Perhaps you can give me some background information.

You can see some information in this homepage. http://www.rokfootball.com http://bfc1995.cafe24.com/zbxe/main_eng Our club is in third league. In Korea, there are 3 league. First league is called K-league, Second is N-league, Third is K3-league. We are in K3. Someday we'll give you more information about our club and Korean football.

Perhaps you can give me some background information. i support AFC Wimbledon, especially since they are the team i manage in FM 2009 =D basically there are four recognized divisions in the Korean football system. the Top division is known as K-League, the second division is N-League (formerly known as K2-League), the third division is known as the K3 League, and the 4th division is U-League (University teams). but there are no promotion/relegation between the four, with the exception of the N-League champions having the right to be promoted to the K-League if they pay a ridiculous amount of money (forgot how much it is), unlike the English system where they get money when they are promoted. the K-League draws around an estimated amount of 18,000, and unfortunately the crowd difference between the 4 divisions is huge. also it doesn't accurately portray the K-League as many teams can draw 2,000 one week, and the next week, a team can draw 40,000. the biggest rivalry is between FC Seoul and Suwon Bluewings, and FC Seoul is a team based on franchising which is against the views of AFC Wimbledon and Bucheon FC. The K3 League is very exciting as two teams, Bucheon FC and Seoul United are drawing lots of attention. the Korean Football system has an FA Cup like England where all those divisions as well as amateur teams participate in and the winner of the FA Cup has spots to play in the Asian Champions League. Bucheon FC used to participate in the K-League until that unfortunately the club relocated, thus Bucheon FC supporters formed the club and their original plan was to partake in the N-League, but instead had to settle for K3-League. heres some videos for you AFC Wimbledon fans Ultra Hermes (back when the club was in K-League) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hb5XIAmSTL0 Bucheon FC fans at a Korean National Team match protesting the franchising of their club http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6tb5EmsrXE&feature=related Bucheon FC fans http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IFVtKIKISI&feature=related Bucheon FC K3 League goals http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhL_VvuV3Bw&feature=related Bucheon FC K3 League goals 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNYay5olN1c and heres a video to show a bit of Korean Domestic Football the K-League Championship between the heated rivals Suwon Bluewings and FC Seoul Suwon won both legs so they were crowned the champions http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXwtUsE3Fe8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7Reiut-Lg4 the 2nd one has a nice clip of all the fans FC Seoul is in red and Suwon Bluewings is in blue FC Seoul is coached by Senol Gunes (manager of Turkey during their 2002 WC) and Suwon Bluewings is coached by the legendary Bum Keun Cha who played in the Bundesliga and is dubbed as one of the greatest Asian footballers of all time Edited by koreanterp, Jan 7 2009, 08:19 PM.

(by this I mean it should apply to any sports team) The fact both teams are created by the fans who support teams who are arguably in the grass root level of tier on their respected country league system , and aftermath of originally locally based team has left, and fans … fans who are shunned by the management of team who were originally based in their back yard… this could be good Omen now that two good forces of two different universe has decided to join the forces to preach and to proclaim that Good always defeat evil… long live the good idea faithful supporters of the view that we the fans hold dear- teams are created by fans for the fans and for pure pleasure of the fans in the greatest sports that we know and love. Oh by the way my user id sam cha has three fold meaning; allow me to explain, sam in Korean it means three thus my id has following meanings 1.sam is my nick name 2. In honor of Buchun who are in the k3 league and finally 3. to pay homage to the greatest Footballer Korea has ever produced Bum Gun cha and his son Duri Cha (duri means second) and by the way duri just got married. Natually, Bum Gun Cha’s announced to us fan’s delight that he will try to raised his grandson who is not yet even thought of being conceived..... to be a footballer isn’t that great?

New Malden, which is a district just by the ground, has a very large Korean population with many Korean shops and restaurants. Even so, we don't get many Koreans coming to watch our team. How do you think our club can raise its profile in the Korean community?

Posts: 10 Group: Members Member #2 Joined: Dec 26, 2008	HI! curranhung I wrote some opinion about that. --- Yesterday I discussed your question with some of my friends. Of course, it's very difficult problem. I think the best solution is that your club hire Korean player. I think both club can talk about it. The fact that both club start to alternating current will give good influence. So, you must let them know this story. Exchanging placard · national flag · homepage banner advertisement are also good method, I think. If a good idea will suggest itself to me, I'll talk to you.

I loved Vinnie Jones. Always made the games exciting to watch. Ive been following WImbledon since they started up again and i think its great to create a partnership with a Korean club in the same situation. I came across this forum and decided to jump in if thats ok. I really want to know whats going on with wimbledon especially and how the korean club Bucheon? is the name will continue the season. I see Bucheon have 2 foreigner players. Are they good players? why arent they playing in europe? How well do they fit into the korean style of play? Who is the most important player for bucheon? would it be possible for wimbledon to sign a korean player?

Posts: 1 Group: Members Member #22 Joined: Feb 17, 2009	Hello. Autually I'm neither a Bucheon nor Wimbledon fan(sorry ). I am a fan of Suwon Bluewings, a team based near the city of Bucheon. But I'm very interested in the case of Bucheon because this might be a very good example to Anyang, a city which was also harmed by the franchising. I am replying because I think some Wimbledon fans are wanting to know more about Korean football(or not but I'm gonna post this anyway) There are several leagues in Korea including the three divisions. K-League is at the top and it is the only professional league in Korea. It was started in 1983 as a semi-professional league because of the pressure from the dictator at the time. 15 teams will participate in the 2009 season. National League is the second, and it is a semi-professional league. It was established in 2003 to fulfill the promotion and relagation system, but it failed after two unsuccessful tries in 2006 and 2007. 14 teams participate. K3-League is an amateur league that was first established in 2007. 17 teams including Bucheon will participate this year. Teams ranked higher regularly compete in the FA cup. U-League is the league of 10 university teams. This league is not directly related to the promotion and relegation system, but the teams compete in the FA cup. WK-League is a semi-professional women's league with 6 teams that will start this year. This is not like the league in England, which is composed of teams that can also be found in the men's league. The KFA(acronym for the Korean Football Association) recently established a futsal league with 10 teams including Bucheon. The good things about Korean football are: increase of young fans, several regional leagues(like England), competent club teams in K-League, and the good results of National League teams in the FA cup. The bad things are: less media coverage, having a rival sport(baseball), terrible TV broadcast techniques, too many fans of bigger Europe clubs, too many fans of the national team, less club fans, short history(which means that Korean football is not fully rooted), incompetence of K3-League teams in the FA cup, and no promotions nor relegations. Since the first league was only established in 1983(that is almost a hundred years from England!!), the leagues and club teams are still developing. Although the history is dark and the future is unpredictable, Korean football has a massive potential. It is fantastic that Daum, which is a very popular website in Korea, is sponsoring for Bucheon. People will watch more Bucheon news and a number of football fans should have heard about AFC Wimbledon thanks to it. The two foreign players in Bucheon participates in the training but can't in the games due to the regulations of K3-League(which is TERRIBLE!!!)

It is great to see that the leagues growing so fast. Maybe bucheon and the korean federation can learn a lot from doing business with wimbledon i think. How come the 2 foreign players can not participate? Are they good? where are they from?
