Comet Kiel Comet Kiel Another small club in the city of Kiel, with about 300 members.
The club was founded in 1912 as SC Comet 1912 Neumühlen-Dietrichsdorf. In 1924, this village was absorbed into the city of Kiel, so the club changed it's name to represent it's new city.
The first attempt was actually in 1910, when local enthusiasts founded the club "Comet", named after Haley's Comet. They chose the colors of Blue and Yellow, with a weekly membership fee of 10 pfennigs for adults, 5 pfennigs for schoolboys. They tried to order uniforms from a Hamburg sportsdealership, but they didn't have the correct colors. However, the "Sport-haus Steidel" in Berlin supplied them with a "ball, net, pump, sewing needle and rule book" for 17,50 Reichsmarks. This provoked the first financial crisis, as the treasury was bare. Luckily, Frau Neumann covered the club's debts of 80 pfennigs. The first match was against a local club "Preussen". They won a tight match 1-0. Emboldened by this glorious victory, they challenged Preussen's first team. This outing was slightly less favorable, as they lost, 19-0. Unfortunately, this defeat might have been morale sapping, and soon the club went belly-up...
But the footballers of Comet were not to be denied: in 1912, they tried again, and restarted the club. This time they were even able to get the right colored jersies. Since they had no home ground however, they had to play all their matches as away-games. In 1914, the local "Arbeiter Turn- und Sportbund" attempted to usurp control of Comet. Luckily, WW-I soon broke putting an pause to this effort...
After the war, Comet restarted, and by 1920, they were confident enough to escape the clutches of the ATB and their gymnastic bureaucrats, and affiliated with the DFB.
