1996–2005 Puchon Yukong / Bucheon SK seasons

South Korean football club seasons At the end of 1995 the side moved from the Dongdaemun Stadium in Seoul to the Mokdong Stadium on the western edge of Seoul, as part of K-League's decentralization policy.Note:This policy was carried out due to two reasons. In 1995, Korea was under bidding for 2002 FIFA World Cup. So the first reason is that KFA and K-League wanted to build a soccer-specific stadium in Seoul and second reason is that KFA and K-League wanted to spread football to the provinces. Three clubs based in Seoul – the Yukong Elephants, LG Cheetahs, and Ilhwa Chunma – did not accept this policy, so the Seoul government gave an eviction order to the three clubs. However they guaranteed that if clubs built a soccer-specific stadium in Seoul, they could have a Seoul franchise and return to Seoul. As a result, the three clubs were evicted from Seoul to other cities. The Yukong Elephants moved to the city of Bucheon, a satellite city of Seoul, (25 km away). Mid-way through the 1997 season, the club re-branded itself as Bucheon SK. Because the city of Bucheon did not have a stadium, they used Mokdong Stadium in Seoul until 2000. At the start of the 2001 season, the team moved to the 35,545 seat Bucheon Leports Complex. thumb|right|238px|A Forever Bucheon banner, displayed by fans of the movement to create the new Bucheon Club at a 2006 FIFA World Cup match between South Korea and France, June 18, 2006 Jeju United FC (Bucheon Yukong / Bucheon SK) seasons 1996-2005 statistics {|class="wikitable" !
