Broughty Athletic

Why Broughty Athletic

Here is the argument for Broughty Athletic: Scotland, Scotland Scottish Cup, and a ground called Whitton Park Arbroath Road Broughty Ferry, Dundee. A second team should give you something your first one cannot, and this is a different country's whole weather system.

• Old enough to matter

  1920 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.

• Nothing won, everything to play for

  Trophyless, so far. That is the pitch: be there before the story turns.

• Close to the pitch

  Whitton Park Arbroath Road Broughty Ferry, Dundee holds about 2,500. 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 Fed. That is your new shorthand, your search term and your excuse for buying a scarf.
