The Case For Them
Here is the argument for Avellino: Italy, Italy Serie B, and a ground called Stadio Partenio-Adriano Lombardi. A second team should give you something your first one cannot, and this is a different country's whole weather system.
The calendar you inherit
Following Italy Serie B means odd kick-off hours, a new commentary language and a table you will check before your own club's. Italy becomes part of your week.
Old enough to matter
1912 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
7 distinct honours on record, including Torneo Estivo del 1986. Adopt them and you inherit expectation, which is more fun than it sounds when the trophies keep coming.
Proper ground
Stadio Partenio-Adriano Lombardi takes roughly 26,000, big enough for atmosphere, small enough that you can learn where the singing corner is on your first visit.
Matchday Trip
Ground: Stadio Partenio-Adriano Lombardi. Go in a day early, find the pre-match pub, buy the programme.
