History

It was not until the 1994/95 season that attendance reached five figures, when 20,850 spectators watched a goalless draw at the Trnava stadium on April 8, 1995. Three weeks later, the derby was also played at Tehelné pol and half as many fans were in attendance, 10,232 to be exact. Slovan played in Trnava twice more that year, but solid attendances of 9,117 and 15,109 spectators did not see the Angels win. Both duels ended in a 1-1 draw.

In 20 May 2009, was the first time in history, that the match was played without spectators. Trnava had to serve a three-match penalty without spectators, based on the thrown pyrotechnics that fell behind the home team's goal in the match of the 28th round against FC Nitra.[2][3]

Ultras Spartak choreo against Slovan.

In a Traditional Derby in 2021, there was a full blown fight on the pitch between both Ultras Spartak and Ultras Slovan, with the game being cancelled and postponed.[4][5] As a result of this incident, Spartak would have to play the next three home matches without the Ultras, with entry only allowed for children under 15 years of age, and Slovan would have to be heavily fined.[6]
