The Trophy Cabinet

Nickname: La Lepra

Adopting Newell's Old Boys means Argentina Primera División results start mattering to you, a club going since 1903. Not a novelty, a habit.

Something to defend
The cabinet is not empty: Shared record and Liga Rosarina. Small enough to recite from memory, big enough to argue about in a pub.
Proper ground
Estadio Marcelo Bielsa takes roughly 42,000, big enough for atmosphere, small enough that you can learn where the singing corner is on your first visit.
You get a nickname
Known as La Lepra. That is your new shorthand, your search term and your excuse for buying a scarf.
Easy weekend
Rosario Islas Malvinas International Airport (ROS) is about 13km from the ground, and Mariano Moreno bus station is 2km closer still. A home fixture is a genuinely doable two-night trip.

Ground: Estadio Marcelo Bielsa. Go in a day early, find the pre-match pub, buy the programme.
