Eerste Divisie 1982/83

F.C. Den Bosch qualifies for the promotion playoffs for the
second time, just having missed out on promotion behind D.S. '79
and F.C. Volendam, who just manage to finish ahead of the
Bosschenaars after their impressive late run in the competition.

In the nacompetitie, there is never any doubt about the outcome.
F.C. Den Bosch wins the first four matches, after which the table
makes very pleasant reading indeed:

1.F.C. Den Bosch         4  4  0  0 10- 1  8
2.S.C. Cambuur           4  2  1  1  4- 4  5
3.F.C. V.V.V.            4  1  0  3  2- 6  2
4.M.V.V.                 4  0  1  3  2- 7  1

The fifth round features the decisive showdown in Leeuwarden.
F.C. Den Bosch reaches a 1-1 draw at Cambuur and is promoted
to the eredivisie after a ten year absence.  Amidst celebrations
in De Vliert, Den Bosch loses the last, irrelevant match at home
to F.C. V.V.V. (1-2), which makes Cambuur's challenge in the
final table look much closer than it really was.

The home game against M.V.V. was watched by 24,785: a record both
for F.C. Den Bosch and for any nacompetitie match ever.  The total
over the three home games, 55,000, is also still a record.
