Ingolstadt

The Case For Them

Here is the argument for Ingolstadt: Germany, Germany 3. Liga, and a ground called Audi Sportpark. A second team should give you something your first one cannot, and this is a different country's whole weather system.

• Worth the journey

  Nearest airport is Munich Airport (MUC), roughly 49km 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 Germany 3. Liga means odd kick-off hours, a new commentary language and a table you will check before your own club's. Germany becomes part of your week.

• Ground floor

  Founded in 2004. There is no dynasty to inherit and no bandwagon to be accused of joining, this is a club whose history you can genuinely watch happen.

• Loaded cabinet

  8 distinct honours on record, including 2.Bundesliga (II). Adopt them and you inherit expectation, which is more fun than it sounds when the trophies keep coming.
