Clermont are not a spare club. They are France Ligue 2, Stade Gabriel-Montpied, and 36 years of people deciding this was theirs, pick them and the season has a second spine.

Something to defend
The cabinet is not empty: Championnat National. Small enough to recite from memory, big enough to argue about in a pub.
Close to the pitch
Stade Gabriel-Montpied holds about 11,980. 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 Les Lanciers (The Lancers). That is your new shorthand, your search term and your excuse for buying a scarf.
Easy weekend
Clermont-Ferrand Auvergne airport (CFE) is about 5km from the ground, and Gare de Gerzat is 3km closer still. A home fixture is a genuinely doable two-night trip.
