Portuguese Football Season 2017/18

Ridiculous. Why do clubs even have to apply so early, how long could it possibly take to check the requirements? What are even the requirements? Remembering to apply months ahead and forking up some cash when there's a high likelihood it's for nought?

In a case like this (documents not given in time) wasn't there a possibility of a special permission from UEFA? Or i'm making it up?

I found something

Well, it does not say exactly what i wrote in my previous post, but maybe art.15 could be applied here?

Looks like it's only for not top flight clubs. So, Caldas could have used that, but not Aves.

Ops, i missed the "belongs to a division other than the top division" part

Art.15 not useful for Aves.

probably so that we would have more big teams in the group stages

3rd tier playoffs:

U. Leiria 1-1 Mafra (agg: 1-1)
Vilafranquense 1-1 Farense (agg: 1-4

Mafra and Farense are back to the 2nd tier!

A shame about Leiria, 14789 people attended this game.

Sad seeing these huge crowds for one off games when attendances are so low otherwise outside the Portuguese top flight.

I saw Academica in their last home game in Segunda had over 20000 at the game. Apart from their last two home games (11000 and then 20000) no single fixture in the whole league season was above 4000.

Not quite, Académica were above 4000 in 8 other games (10 in total) and Nacional had 4131 against Vitória Guimarães B. Santa Clara had 4000 once.

Sorry, I did see those others clubs' figures on Soccerway, but I meant to say above the 4000's, with an emphasis on the 'S'.

I didn't see the other Academica ones such as the 6000 against Viseu, so point taken. Their final crowd was still over 4x their average attendance, though, which I guess is my point really!

Out of 80 teams, only 2 got the right to the golden ticket. Too bad for Uniao de Leiria, another almost year.
Mafra and Farense were relegated in the same year (2016), and now both get to return.

The 3rd division needs to be rethinked... it seems every 2 years there a reform, but it keeps getting worse and worse.
Next year year there will be 72 teams fighting for 2 promotion spots... in no way this is fair or proportional

Is there a site where I could find historical chess tables results of Portugal league (or by the matchday) like on RSSSF (they have them until 2005)?

Quick update on the Sporting soap opera. In an extraordinary assembly, Sporting members voted the crazy president out (with about 65% of almost 15000 supporters wanting him out, resulting in over 70% of the votes as the long term supporters have more votes). There'll be new elections in September and the crazy president already said he'll run.

Don't know if any players will turn back on their decisions to terminate their contracts. The wheels are already in motion and they all have several clubs interested in them. Rui Patrício already signed for Wolves.
