Nickname: The Rose

Adopting Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic means Scotland Challenge Cup results start mattering to you, a club going since 1890. Not a novelty, a habit.

The calendar you inherit
Scotland Challenge Cup is cold-weather football: mud in February, breath visible under the lights, and a fixture list that rewards anyone who sticks it out. Scotland does not do easy neutrals.
Deep roots
Founded in 1890, Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic were playing organised football before floodlights, substitutes or televised highlights existed. You are adopting 136 years of accumulated grudges.
Loaded cabinet
11 distinct honours on record, including Lowland League. Adopt them and you inherit expectation, which is more fun than it sounds when the trophies keep coming.
Close to the pitch
New Dundas Park Bonnyrigg holds about 3,000. You can hear the defenders shouting at each other, which is the single best argument for lower-capacity football.

Ground: New Dundas Park Bonnyrigg. Go in a day early, find the pre-match pub, buy the programme.
