Nickname: The Black and Whites

Adopting Elgin City means Scotland League Two results start mattering to you, a club going since 1893. Not a novelty, a habit.

Deep roots
Founded in 1893, Elgin City were playing organised football before floodlights, substitutes or televised highlights existed. You are adopting 133 years of accumulated grudges.
Something to defend
The cabinet is not empty: Highland League and Highland League Cup. Small enough to recite from memory, big enough to argue about in a pub.
Cathedral football
Borough Briggs, Elgin holds around 4,520,478. 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 Black and Whites. That is your new shorthand, your search term and your excuse for buying a scarf.

Ground: Borough Briggs, Elgin. Go in a day early, find the pre-match pub, buy the programme.
