Reasons To Adopt

Alloa Athletic are not a spare club. They are Scotland League One, Recreation Park, Alloa, and 148 years of people deciding this was theirs, pick them and the season has a second spine.

The calendar you inherit
Scotland League One is cold-weather football: mud in February, breath visible under the lights, and a fixture list that rewards anyone who sticks it out. Scotland does not do easy neutrals.
Deep roots
Founded in 1878, Alloa Athletic were playing organised football before floodlights, substitutes or televised highlights existed. You are adopting 148 years of accumulated grudges.
Loaded cabinet
7 distinct honours on record, including Division Two (before 1975) and First Division (after 1975):. Adopt them and you inherit expectation, which is more fun than it sounds when the trophies keep coming.
Home is home
Recreation Park, Alloa is the address. Learn the walk from the station to the turnstile and you have most of what supporting a club actually is.
