Nickname: Queso Mecánico (Clockwork Cheese)

Adopting Albacete Balompié means Spain Segunda División results start mattering to you, a club going since 1940. Not a novelty, a habit.

Old enough to matter
1940 is the founding date, old enough that the club has survived a war, a rebuild and at least one financial scare, young enough that the good years are still in living memory.
Loaded cabinet
6 distinct honours on record, including Segunda División: (1) 1990–91. Adopt them and you inherit expectation, which is more fun than it sounds when the trophies keep coming.
Close to the pitch
Estadio Carlos Belmonte holds about 17,524. 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 Queso Mecánico (Clockwork Cheese). That is your new shorthand, your search term and your excuse for buying a scarf.

Ground: Estadio Carlos Belmonte. Go in a day early, find the pre-match pub, buy the programme.
