Adopting Edinburgh University means Scotland Scottish Cup results start mattering to you, a club going since 1878. Not a novelty, a habit.

Deep roots
Founded in 1878, Edinburgh University were playing organised football before floodlights, substitutes or televised highlights existed. You are adopting 148 years of accumulated grudges.
Something to defend
The cabinet is not empty: Runners-up: 1974–75, 2007–08 and Runners-up: 2000–01. Small enough to recite from memory, big enough to argue about in a pub.
Cathedral football
East Peffermill, Edinburgh holds around 1,100,100. Even a routine league game arrives with a noise floor most clubs only reach in a semi-final.
You get a nickname
Known as The Uni. That is your new shorthand, your search term and your excuse for buying a scarf.

Ground: East Peffermill, Edinburgh. Go in a day early, find the pre-match pub, buy the programme.
