Why Brann

Here is the argument for Brann: Norway, Norway Eliteserien, and a ground called Brann Stadion, Bergen. A second team should give you something your first one cannot, and this is a different country's whole weather system.

You get a nickname
Known as Bergens Stolthet (The Pride of Bergen) Fotballrepublikken (The Football Republic. That is your new shorthand, your search term and your excuse for buying a scarf.
Easy weekend
Bergen Airport, Flesland (BGO) is about 11km from the ground, and Minde station is 1km closer still. A home fixture is a genuinely doable two-night trip.
The calendar you inherit
Norway Eliteserien is cold-weather football: mud in February, breath visible under the lights, and a fixture list that rewards anyone who sticks it out. Norway does not do easy neutrals.
Old enough to matter
1908 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.
