Nickname: City The Clarets

The Case For Them

Here is the argument for Chelmsford City: England, England National League North and South, and a ground called Melbourne Stadium, Chelmsford. A second team should give you something your first one cannot, and this is a different country's whole weather system.

Loaded cabinet
8 distinct honours on record, including Isthmian League. Adopt them and you inherit expectation, which is more fun than it sounds when the trophies keep coming.
Home is home
Melbourne Stadium, Chelmsford is the address. Learn the walk from the station to the turnstile and you have most of what supporting a club actually is.
You get a nickname
Known as City The Clarets. That is your new shorthand, your search term and your excuse for buying a scarf.
Easy weekend
London Stansted Airport (STN) is about 21km from the ground, and Chelmsford railway station is 2km closer still. A home fixture is a genuinely doable two-night trip.
