The Trophy Cabinet

Nickname: Chachaři

Adopting Baník Ostrava means Czech Republic First League results start mattering to you, a club going since 1922. Not a novelty, a habit.

Something to defend
The cabinet is not empty: Czechoslovak First League / Czech First League and Czechoslovak Cup / Czech Cup. Small enough to recite from memory, big enough to argue about in a pub.
Close to the pitch
Městský stadion, Ostrava holds about 15,123. 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 Chachaři. That is your new shorthand, your search term and your excuse for buying a scarf.
Easy weekend
Leoš Janáček Airport Ostrava (OSR) is about 21km from the ground, and Josefova jáma is 2km closer still. A home fixture is a genuinely doable two-night trip.

Ground: Městský stadion, Ostrava. Go in a day early, find the pre-match pub, buy the programme.
