Plot
editAppearing in a series of four novels, it depicts a football club being promoted across a promotion and relegation-based Swedish league system before losing the Allsvenskan qualifying game. In 1985, a TV series was made.
Sometimes, sports journalists talk of the "real Åshöjdens BK" when a club, often in rural districts, within some seasons quickly has been promoted from the lower to higher divisions. An example is Ljungskile SK's promotion during the early-mid 1990s.[2]
