[2] In a couple of weeks the new site received over 500 registrees and drew attention from several national newspapers, who reported the "Resurrection of KSK Beveren from its ashes".
[8] Shortly after the match, the club officially sent a request to the Royal Belgian Football Association to register their team for the upcoming season under the name 'Supporterskring Beveren'.
[9] On April 5, 2011, the Municipality of Beveren announced that there was no place for the new club in their town, despite earlier agreements with the Schepen of Sports and several talks with Waasland-Beveren about the use of the training fields surrounding Freethiel Stadion.
[10] Despite this major setback, the club played a second testing match against the KSK Kallo reserve team the following evening and won again, this time with 2–5 in front of 300 spectators.
[16] On September 4, 2011, started the competition with a 2–2 draw in an away game against Hardy Waasmunster, with striker Bjorn Van Der Stighelen scoring the first official goal for the club in front of over 300 fans.
[17] The following week YB SK Beveren won its first home game against VK Tielrode with 1–0 in front of 450 fans,[18] again causing significant media attention from several national football websites.
The club was granted permission to play its home games on a former training field of KSK Beveren near the Freethiel, sharing its usage with Waasland-Beveren.
[29] While the supporters could celebrate the return to their home soil, on the field affairs kept on lacking stability as proven by the resignation of the sporting director before competition even started.
The decisive match against Overmere was played in Freethiel Stadium, which meant the return of the club to their spiritual home almost three years after the dissolving of KSK Beveren.
[50] A few days later, the whole technical staff except the head coach and the sporting director left the club, being disappointed in the board's decision of choosing Van Rumst.
[56] Competition started well with inter alia an 8–0 home win against Baasrode at KSK Beveren's 79th birthday,[57] but a black November month in which the club lost to local neighbours Bosdam[58] and suffered its worst defeat of the season in a 5-0 battering at Belsele[59] promised another difficult year in Belgium's bottom league.
After the return of several injured players, Beveren won eight matches in a row from late December until early March (the longest winning streak in their history until that point), bringing them back to second place in the league.
[67] The festivities however were halted a few weeks later, when an incident took place between some fans during the home game against SK Wachtebeke (see section Rivalries) which would eventually lead to a 0–5 loss and a 1500 euro fine from the Royal Belgian Football Association.
[68] Despite having the chance to obtain a ticket for the play-offs in February, YB SK Beveren ended the season in mid-table, hereby meeting the goal of staying in the division.
[69] In December 2010 a delegation of fans, board members and a local television (TV Oost) crew took a bus trip to London for the Wimbledon home game against Wrexham F.C., but were forced to return because of the postponement of the match due to heavy snowfall.
[72] A couple of weeks later the famous English football magazine FourFourTwo also reported about the influence of AFC Wimbledon on YB SK Beveren.
In April 2011 several board members of Beveren travelled to Manchester to meet the club's president Andy Walsh and Supporters Direct representative Kevin Rye.
[75][76] On July 27, 2013, YB SK Beveren and its fans[77] made a trip to London to play for the Supporters Direct Cup against local opponents Enfield Town FC.
[91][92][93][94][95][96][97][98] Although fan participation is a relatively unknown subject in Belgian football, YB SK Beveren received praise from several other clubs and fangroups in Belgium.
Beveren's board member Jim Van De Vyver made some important contributions to the 'Improving Football Governance through Supporter Involvement and Community Ownership' Project, which was financed by the European Commission.
[104][105] In early March 2014, Van De Vyver and the VZW Eskabee 1935 in cooperation with Supporters Direct presented a toolkit[106] with instructions for Belgian teams to introduce fan participation.
Even in the lowest divisions this caused tension at several occasions between both sets of fans, especially in YB SK Beveren's away games against clubs from the neighbouring villages of Lokeren.
This resulted in unusual safety regulations for the away game against FC Eksaarde in November 2011,[110] a match which the club won in convincing style with 0–3 after a long period without winning.
The main reason for this risk lay in the fact that local police had intercepted plans of fans of Sporting Lokeren to reunite with their colleagues of Dutch side NAC Breda in order to interrupt the game and clash with supporters of Beveren.
With 5 minutes on the clock and Beveren up 3–2, the referee decided to pause the game due to smoke circulation on the field caused by fireworks, but the visitors subsequently refused to finish the match because they felt threatened.
[128] Eventually, the majors decided to forbid fans to watch the games against Eksaarde, Zaffelare and Wachtebeke, an unprecedented measure in Belgian provincial football.
[130] The derby became a bit more intense during the 2012–2013 season, mainly because of an ongoing dispute between Bosdam's players and Beveren's head coach during a scintillating home game early 2013 which ended in a 3–3 draw.
