HISTORY: (wiki)
Sportklub Niederösterreich St. Poelten is an Austrian association football club from the provincial capital of the Austrian state of Lower Austria. St. Poelten currently play in the Austrian Football First League, which is the second tier of the Austrian football league system.

SKN St. Poelten were formed after dissolving its unofficial predecessor, FCN St. Poelten and its predecessor VSE St. Poelten in June 2000. The new club took over all of FCN infrastructure, the stadium and also the ownership of the Bundesliga junior center. Through the acquisition of BNZ St. Poelten, SKN was not classed as a newly founded association (and therefore entered into the lowest league), but was allowed in the 2nd League West, the fifth level of Austrian football.
In its first season in existance, the team won the 2nd League championship, and were therefore promoted to the fourth tier. In the 2001/02 season, SNK won their second successive title and hence were promoted into the Regional League East. In the same year, the SKN also appeared in the final of the Lower Austria Cup, but were beaten by Theresienfeld.

In the 2002/03 season, St. Poelten finished twelfth, but improved the following year to finish in fourth. The following season the club attained sixth place in the league and had a run in the ÖFB Cup which included victories over SV Wörgl (3-0), SW Bregenz (2–1) and a sensational 5-1 victory overAustria Salzburg in the third round. In the quarter-finals, St. Poelten, were soundly beaten by Austria Wien 6-0.
St. Poelten finally achieved promotion in 2007/2008, going 24 games unbeaten during one period of the season.
