This golden era came to end in autumn 2005 whenZawisza Bydgoszcz SA was created, resulting to Kujawiak being moved toBydgoszcz and renamed by their ownersHydrobudowa. The originalZawisza Bydgoszcz continued playing in the fourth division,[1] however the new club had a very similar logo and an identical name. As a result, Kujawiak, Zawisza and supporters all over the country boycotted the relocated team.[2] The new Kujawiak/Zawisza club folded in 2007[3] as a result of serious corruption allegations[4] and widespread condemnation.[5]
The reserve team continued to play under the name Kujawiak Włocławek in thefourth division, but withdrew from all competitions at the end the 2007–08 season.
