Section 1 of 6
Six seasons, and the one that nearly went somewhere
Promotion in 2006, sixth place in 2010, relegation in 2012.
- A republic side went up and nobody expected them to staySpartak Nalchik reached the Russian Premier League in 2006 from a city with no top-flight history, and stayed six years.
- Sixth place, and what a small budget can buy for one seasonThe 2010 season put Nalchik above clubs spending several times what they did. It was not repeated.
- Going down is a budget event before it is a sporting oneThe 2012 relegation followed the funding rather than the football, which is the ordinary way a club that size leaves the division.
