[edit] Promotion/Relegation Series 2005
Three years previously Ventforet Kofu had faced extinction as the club was losing hundreds of millions of Yen each year and had finished in last place for three consecutive season. In 2002 the club hired Kazuyuki Umino as president and he turned the club's fortunes around. The club started making a profit, attendances increased, and the club's performance became better each year. Finally, in 2005, they managed to finish in third place on the final day of the season after defeating the J2 champion, Kyoto Sanga F.C., as the then third-placed Vegalta Sendai tied in their match.
Kashiwa Reysol, on the other hand, finished 16th and had to enter the play-off series for the second season in a row. Many believe Kashiwa under-estimated this series as they easily defeated Avispa Fukuoka in the previous year.
Interestingly, exactly 37 years earlier on December 7, 1968, Venforet Kofu's former club, Kofu Club, played and lost in the Promotion/Relegation Series (JSL1 & JSL2) against Hitachi Club (Kashiwa Reysol's former team).
In the final minutes of the first leg the Kose Sports Stadium suffered a black out and the game was stopped for 20-30 minutes. In the second leg of the series Bare scored a double-hat-trick (6 goals), which is a record for any J. League competition.
