Reasons To Adopt
Here is the argument for Arsenal: England, England Premier League, and a ground called Emirates Stadium. A second team should give you something your first one cannot, and this is a different country's whole weather system.
Deep roots
Founded in 1886, Arsenal were playing organised football before floodlights, substitutes or televised highlights existed. You are adopting 140 years of accumulated grudges.
Nothing won, everything to play for
Trophyless, so far. That is the pitch: be there before the story turns.
Cathedral football
Emirates Stadium holds around 60,704. Even a routine league game arrives with a noise floor most clubs only reach in a semi-final.
You get a nickname
Known as The Gunners Gooners (supporters). That is your new shorthand, your search term and your excuse for buying a scarf.
Matchday Trip
Ground: Emirates Stadium. Go in a day early, find the pre-match pub, buy the programme.
