With a strong squad and passionate support from the fans, the goal was clear: promotion to the top division.

One of the most memorable matches that season took place at home in Kristiansand, where Start faced off against rivals Vard Haugesund. The atmosphere at the stadium was intense, with the fans contributing to an electric ambiance. The match was marked by a tactical duel between the two teams, both battling hard for control of the midfield.

However, it was Start that managed to break the deadlock. A fantastic individual performance from one of Start's young stars, who dribbled past several defenders before slotting the ball into the corner of the net, sent the stadium into a frenzy. This goal was not just crucial for the match but also symbolized the club's ambitions and progress.

After this goal, Start continued to press, and with a solid defensive effort, they kept Vard Haugesund from scoring. This became one of the most famous matches in the club's history, and the fans still remember it as a turning point. Start ultimately secured promotion to the top division after an impressive season where they demonstrated both talent and team spirit.

Thus, 1984 became a year where Start solidified its place in Norwegian football history. It was not just a season of promotion; it was a season that inspired an entire generation of football players and supporters to believe in possibilities. This moment remains an important part of Start's identity, reminding us of the club's rich history and ability to fight its way back to the top of Norwegian football.
