Reasons To Adopt

Henan Jianye are not a spare club. They are China Chinese Super League, Hanghai Stadium, and 32 years of people deciding this was theirs, pick them and the season has a second spine.

Worth the journey
Nearest airport is Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport (CGO), roughly 55km out. This is not a casual away day, which is precisely why the people who do it take it seriously.
The calendar you inherit
Following China Chinese Super League means odd kick-off hours, a new commentary language and a table you will check before your own club's. China becomes part of your week.
Modern era club
Formed in 1994, 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: Chinese Jia B League/Chinese League One (Second Tier League) and Chinese Yi League/Chinese League Two (Third Tier League). Small enough to recite from memory, big enough to argue about in a pub.
