• Academy Integration: The Young Reds academy program remains central to the club's infrastructure, with the training facilities in Deurne serving as the primary hub for developing local talent like Semm Renders and Kobe Corbanie.
• Atmosphere: Despite the stadium's partially unfinished state, the "Great Old" supporters maintain one of the most intimidating home environments in the Pro League, which has been crucial in their recent home win over OH Leuven.
