 Løv-Ham had in the recent years taken over Fyllingen's spot as Fyllingsdalen's best football-club, but it was still Fyllingen that had the biggest support and the financial power in the borough.In the end of 2007, the two clubs started negotiation to merge the football-departments of the two clubs.If this had been a reality the goal was a budget of at least 15 million, a doubling compared to the Løv-Ham's budget in 2007.
