BELGIUM: Hermes Club Oostende (1948-1999) / Hoger Op VC Oostende (1999-2010) / VG Oostende (2010-2013)

Mispelplein Oost, Ostend = Oostende = Ostende Stene (formerly Hermes Club Oostende / Hoger Op VC Oostende / Vanneste Genootschap Oostende)

Belgium, province: West Flanders

4 V 2013 / VG Oostende - SC Wielsbeke 2-0 / West Flanders, Provincial League 1 - promotion play-off (= BE level 5)

Note 1: in 1999, Hermes Club Oostende, founded in 1948 (matricule 4981), merged with their neighbours SK Voorwaarts Oostende (founded as VC Vischmijn Oostende in 1938, joining the Belgian Football Association as SK Voorwaarts Oostende in 1947 - matricule 4715), forming Hoger Op VC Oostende; first team football was played at Hermes' eastern half of Mispelplein. After Hoger Op's demise in 2010, VG Oostende, who had been groundsharing with KV Oostende at the Gemeentelijk-Albertparkstadion for nine years, moved in, but this club ceased all activities merely three years later, in November 2013. Since, the ground has fallen into disrepair.

  1. Zo een infrastructuur die plaats moet maken voor nieuwbouw. Er waren kandidaten genoeg om deze terreinen in gebruik te nemen. Vande Lanotte en Marc Coucke hebben alles tegengehouden.
