Reasons To Adopt

Here is the argument for Garforth Town: England, England FA Trophy, and a ground called Wheatley Park, Garforth. A second team should give you something your first one cannot, and this is a different country's whole weather system.

Modern era club
Formed in 1964, so the whole story is documented, arguable and still being written. Join now and you were basically there from the start.
Something to defend
The cabinet is not empty: Northern Counties East League and West Riding County Cup. Small enough to recite from memory, big enough to argue about in a pub.
Cathedral football
Wheatley Park, Garforth holds around 3,000,278. 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 Miners. That is your new shorthand, your search term and your excuse for buying a scarf.
