While ESV Austria Innsbruck stayed in the Regionalliga West at the beginning of the 1970s and only had to relegate to the Tyrolean regional league through reform, another Innsbruck club has financial difficulties. The SV Innsbruck has a few eventful golfing seasons behind him and fell in 1974 in turmoil. So the SV Innsbruck and the Innsbrucker SK decided to set up a syndicate that only referred to the fighting teams and played under the name of SPG Innsbruck .

In 1976 ESV Austria Innsbruck joined the syndicate, then the club name was renamed SPG Raika Innsbruck with the involvement of the main sponsor .

In this constellation, the game community won the title in the Alpine League and qualified for the 2nd division of the Bundesliga in the 1978/79 season . There, the syndicate achieved third place in the first year of the second division, the next year they played a 1-1 draw against SSW Innsbruck in the local derby in front of 14,000 spectators and SPG Raika Innsbruck finally took fourth place in the table.

Investments were made in the summer of 1980 and players were signed ( Dietmar Constantini , Günther Caha, Wolfgang Schwarz, in autumn also Hans Pirkner and Peter Koncilia ), with whom the club expected an increase in performance in order to participate in the promotion campaign. After the big goal - promotion to the top division - was clearly missed, the game community was dissolved in 1982 and the individual sponsoring clubs disintegrated.
