 Up until the 2011 season, the club operated a policy of only playing homegrown talent but ditched this as the game became more professional and foreign players were brought into the team.Previously the players would work for the Army during the week and play football on weekends, somewhat different from most clubs who operated on a full-time basis.In the 2010 season, they were reprieved from relegation after an end of season relegation/playoff system was announced to expand the Thai Premier League.
