Why Bedworth United

Bedworth United are not a spare club. They are England FA Trophy, The Oval, Bedworth, and 131 years of people deciding this was theirs, pick them and the season has a second spine.

Something to defend
The cabinet is not empty: Birmingham Combination and Birmingham Senior Cup. Small enough to recite from memory, big enough to argue about in a pub.
Close to the pitch
The Oval, Bedworth holds about 2,900. 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 The Greenbacks. That is your new shorthand, your search term and your excuse for buying a scarf.
Easy weekend
Birmingham Airport (BHX) is about 19km from the ground, and Bedworth railway station is 0km closer still. A home fixture is a genuinely doable two-night trip.
