Why Jeanfield Swifts

Jeanfield Swifts are not a spare club. They are Scotland Scottish Cup, Riverside Stadium Bute Drive Perth, and 98 years of people deciding this was theirs, pick them and the season has a second spine.

Easy weekend
Dundee Airport (DND) is about 26km from the ground, and Muirton railway station is 1km closer still. A home fixture is a genuinely doable two-night trip.
The calendar you inherit
Scotland Scottish Cup is cold-weather football: mud in February, breath visible under the lights, and a fixture list that rewards anyone who sticks it out. Scotland does not do easy neutrals.
Old enough to matter
1928 is the founding date, old enough that the club has survived a war, a rebuild and at least one financial scare, young enough that the good years are still in living memory.
Loaded cabinet
18 distinct honours on record, including Tayside Premier Division winners: 1972–73. Adopt them and you inherit expectation, which is more fun than it sounds when the trophies keep coming.
