Why Nottingham Forest
Here is the argument for Nottingham Forest: England, England Premier League, and a ground called City Ground. A second team should give you something your first one cannot, and this is a different country's whole weather system.
Cathedral football
City Ground holds around 31,212,202,627. Even a routine league game arrives with a noise floor most clubs only reach in a semi-final.
Easy weekend
East Midlands Airport (EMA) is about 18km from the ground, and Nottingham London Road railway station is 1km closer still. A home fixture is a genuinely doable two-night trip.
The calendar you inherit
England Premier League 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.
Deep roots
Founded in 1865, Nottingham Forest were playing organised football before floodlights, substitutes or televised highlights existed. You are adopting 161 years of accumulated grudges.
