Mulbarton Wanderers FC

Make The Case

Mulbarton Wanderers FC are not a spare club. They are England FA Trophy, Mulberry Park, and 33 years of people deciding this was theirs, pick them and the season has a second spine.

• Easy weekend

  Norwich Airport (NWI) is about 13km from the ground, and Swainsthorpe railway station is 2km 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.

• Modern era club

  Formed in 1993, so the whole story is documented, arguable and still being written. Join now and you were basically there from the start.

• Loaded cabinet

  6 distinct honours on record, including Eastern Counties Football League. Adopt them and you inherit expectation, which is more fun than it sounds when the trophies keep coming.
