Why Little Oakley

Here is the argument for Little Oakley: England, England FA Trophy, and a ground called Memorial Ground, Little Oakley. A second team should give you something your first one cannot, and this is a different country's whole weather system.

Modern era club
Formed in 1947, 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: Essex Senior League and Essex and Suffolk Border League. Small enough to recite from memory, big enough to argue about in a pub.
Home is home
Memorial Ground, Little Oakley is the address. Learn the walk from the station to the turnstile and you have most of what supporting a club actually is.
You get a nickname
Known as The Acorns. That is your new shorthand, your search term and your excuse for buying a scarf.
