In April 2000, when both clubs were suffering an important financial trouble, there were rumors about meetings between the board of directors of both clubs for studying a merge for creating an only team in the region called Real Asturias, and also to study the possibility of building a new stadium between Oviedo and Gijón. Supporters of both clubs and the vast majority of the institutions opposed to this proposal.
The last competitive match between both teams was played in 2003. Despite winning by 2–1, finally Oviedo was relegated to Segunda División B, and later administratively demoted to Tercera División due to unpayments to its players.
