Reasons To Adopt

Larkhall Athletic work as a second team because they come with their own geography: England, Plain Ham, Bath, and a set of rivalries you will absorb faster than you expect.

Easy weekend
Bristol Airport (BRS) is about 26km from the ground, and Hampton Row Halt railway station is 1km closer still. A home fixture is a genuinely doable two-night trip.
The calendar you inherit
England FA Trophy is cold-weather football: mud in February, breath visible under the lights, and a fixture list that rewards anyone who sticks it out. England does not do easy neutrals.
Old enough to matter
1914 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.
Something to defend
The cabinet is not empty: Western League and Somerset Senior League. Small enough to recite from memory, big enough to argue about in a pub.
