Reasons To Adopt
Here is the argument for Bristol City: England, England Championship, and a ground called Ashton Gate. A second team should give you something your first one cannot, and this is a different country's whole weather system.
Deep roots
Founded in 1894, Bristol City were playing organised football before floodlights, substitutes or televised highlights existed. You are adopting 132 years of accumulated grudges.
Nothing won, everything to play for
No major honours on record, which means every cup run is uncharted territory and every promotion feels like a coronation.
Proper ground
Ashton Gate takes roughly 27,000, big enough for atmosphere, small enough that you can learn where the singing corner is on your first visit.
Easy weekend
Bristol Airport (BRS) is about 9km from the ground, and Ashton Gate railway station is 0km closer still. A home fixture is a genuinely doable two-night trip.
Matchday Trip
Ground: Ashton Gate. Go in a day early, find the pre-match pub, buy the programme.
