Nickname: Barum

Reasons To Adopt

Barnstaple Town are not a spare club. They are England FA Trophy, Mill Road, Barnstaple, and 122 years of people deciding this was theirs, pick them and the season has a second spine.

You get a nickname
Known as Barum. That is your new shorthand, your search term and your excuse for buying a scarf.
Worth the journey
Nearest airport is Exeter International Airport (EXT), roughly 60km out. This is not a casual away day, which is precisely why the people who do it take it seriously.
The calendar you inherit
England FA Trophy is cold-weather football: mud in February, breath visible under the lights, and a fixture list that rewards anyone who sticks it out. England does not do easy neutrals.
Old enough to matter
1904 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.
