The Case For Them

Clachnacuddin are not a spare club. They are Scotland Challenge Cup, Grant Street Park, Inverness, and 140 years of people deciding this was theirs, pick them and the season has a second spine.

Easy weekend
Inverness Airport (INV) is about 13km from the ground, and Inverness railway station is 1km closer still. A home fixture is a genuinely doable two-night trip.
The calendar you inherit
Scotland Challenge Cup is cold-weather football: mud in February, breath visible under the lights, and a fixture list that rewards anyone who sticks it out. Scotland does not do easy neutrals.
Deep roots
Founded in 1886, Clachnacuddin were playing organised football before floodlights, substitutes or televised highlights existed. You are adopting 140 years of accumulated grudges.
Loaded cabinet
9 distinct honours on record, including Highland Football League. Adopt them and you inherit expectation, which is more fun than it sounds when the trophies keep coming.
