Nickname: The Lilywhites

Reasons To Adopt

Cambridge City are not a spare club. They are England FA Trophy, Sawston Community Stadium, Sawston, and 118 years of people deciding this was theirs, pick them and the season has a second spine.

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.
Loaded cabinet
9 distinct honours on record, including Southern League. Adopt them and you inherit expectation, which is more fun than it sounds when the trophies keep coming.
Close to the pitch
Sawston Community Stadium, Sawston holds about 3,000. 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 Lilywhites. That is your new shorthand, your search term and your excuse for buying a scarf.
