Getafe CF

Reasons To Adopt

Here is the argument for Getafe CF: Spain, Spain La Liga, and a ground called Estadio Coliseum. A second team should give you something your first one cannot, and this is a different country's whole weather system.

• The calendar you inherit

  Following Spain La Liga means odd kick-off hours, a new commentary language and a table you will check before your own club's. Spain becomes part of your week.

• Modern era club

  Formed in 1983, 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: Copa del Rey and Segunda División B – Group 1. Small enough to recite from memory, big enough to argue about in a pub.

• Close to the pitch

  Estadio Coliseum holds about 16,500. You can hear the defenders shouting at each other, which is the single best argument for lower-capacity football.
