Overview

The Swiss Serie A season 1906–07 was divided into three regional groups, east, central and west. Together with Young Boys, FC Bern, Aarau and the Old Boys, Basel were allocated to the central group. Basel played their first four games away, losing the consecutive games against Young Boys and Old Boys both 3–4. However, winning the next four consecutive games they climbed the table. As it came to the last group game, at home against the Old Boys, Basel were leading the table two points ahead of the other teams. In this last match, however, despite a two goal lead against the local rivals, the Old Boys turned the game and won. Subsequently it came to a play-off.[1] The play-off was drawn. The reply was also drawn, even after extra time. It then came to a second replay which Basel decided for themselves.

Basel entered into the final for the first time in their history. The final was played as a round robin tournament. The first match was against Servette and the other against Young Fellows Zürich. Both games were lost. Servette went on to win the championship.[1]

gollark: Wait, what? That sounds very excessive.
gollark: The system here (for A levels) is that you just do one set of exams at the end of two years and schools can do mock ones if they want. It *sounds* sensible, except you apply to universities before getting any A level grades and also a significant amount of things depend just on how well you happened to do over one/a few days.
gollark: You have very brief time to revise between exams?
gollark: Huh. Wow.
gollark: Oh, so you just... have... exams... constantly?
