Hello again,
thank you for the nice words.
So there was an other team in Giurgiu, called Olimpia? Which of the teams was more po****r? By the way I followed Dunarea's results even in the Seria III, there was an other team from Giurgiu, called Tigar, do they still exist?
What is following after third level, maybe Giurgiu district league, as in Ruse?
I don't know which rivals you mean. There was a traditional and also po****r team, Lokomotiv, they closed some years ago. There is no hate between Ruse's soccer teams. Lot of Dunav fans also attended the Lokomotiv games.
In the 90s we had an other good team, which promoted even in First level, the team's name was Rakovski (old Ruse team, from the 20s!!!), they merged with Dunav for a year afterwards. Then had a crash and relegated even from Third level in order to disappear from the soccer map.
Now there is Ariston, playing in Third level, their home ground is the Lokomotiv stadium. Quite close to the Danube bridge, it is a small linear distance to Marin Anastasovici stadium ;-)
In B group there is also Benkovski, from the town of Bjala, Ruse district.
In Fourth level we have the Ruse state league, where more teams from Ruse and surrounding villages play.
Yes, your stadium is really nice. It would be better if there was not the old factory behind .... We also have a building lot next to our Gradski stadium. There is going to be the Mall of Ruse together with a new Sports hall with a capacity of over 5,000 seats. You can have a look at

You are right. The architecture of Ruse is unique. The city was the Bulgarian port to Europe though the Danube in the last centuries. That is why we were more Europe orientated and get more from the European architecture and culture.
Here some pictures from Ruse for people haven't been there.

and so on ...
Thank you for the wishes. It is really nearly unpossible to promote into First Level without a main sponsor. We hope to keep the successful team and get even stronger with new sponsor in the winter break.
Good luck against Otopeni. We are playing Kaliakra at home at 4 pm on Saturday.
