Xerez CD have had a long string of crooked owners, dropping like a stone through the divisions and being further relegated because of accrued debts. Fed up with the whole thing, fans and former players created a rival club from scratch in the lowest tier of Spanish football, named Xerez Deportivo FC. They have been promoted twice in two years and are currently attracting bigger crowds than the main one. Most people expect the new club to end up supplanting the old one, since they are only separated by two divisions right now.
It would sort of be a pity, since Xerez CD is a very storied club, more than a century old.
That's about what I thought. Is there animosity between supporters of the old club and the new one?
Only 1 division between the two clubs next season, since the old one is hovering mid-table right now.
