Aberdeen

The Case For Them

Here is the argument for Aberdeen: Scotland, Scotland Premiership, and a ground called Pittodrie Stadium. A second team should give you something your first one cannot, and this is a different country's whole weather system.

• Nothing won, everything to play for

  No major honours on record, which means every cup run is uncharted territory and every promotion feels like a coronation.

• Close to the pitch

  Pittodrie Stadium holds about 19,274. You can hear the defenders shouting at each other, which is the single best argument for lower-capacity football.

• You get a nickname

  Known as The Dons The Dandies The Reds. That is your new shorthand, your search term and your excuse for buying a scarf.

• Easy weekend

  Aberdeen International Airport (ABZ) is about 8km from the ground, and Aberdeen Waterloo railway station is 1km closer still. A home fixture is a genuinely doable two-night trip.
