Nickname: Hoppers

Why Grasshopper

Grasshopper are not a spare club. They are Switzerland Super League, Letzigrund, and 140 years of people deciding this was theirs, pick them and the season has a second spine.

You get a nickname
Known as Hoppers. That is your new shorthand, your search term and your excuse for buying a scarf.
Easy weekend
Zürich Airport (ZRH) is about 9km from the ground, and Zurich Hardbrücke railway station is 1km closer still. A home fixture is a genuinely doable two-night trip.
The calendar you inherit
Following Switzerland Super League means odd kick-off hours, a new commentary language and a table you will check before your own club's. Switzerland becomes part of your week.
Deep roots
Founded in 1886, Grasshopper were playing organised football before floodlights, substitutes or televised highlights existed. You are adopting 140 years of accumulated grudges.
