Why Patronato

Here is the argument for Patronato: Argentina, Argentina Primera División, and a ground called Estadio Presbítero Bartolomé Grella Paraná, Entre Ríos Province. A second team should give you something your first one cannot, and this is a different country's whole weather system.

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: Torneo Argentino A and Torneo Argentino B. Small enough to recite from memory, big enough to argue about in a pub.
Proper ground
Estadio Presbítero Bartolomé Grella Paraná, Entre Ríos Province takes roughly 22,000, 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 Patrón (The boss) Negro (The black) Rojinegro (Red and black) El Santo. That is your new shorthand, your search term and your excuse for buying a scarf.
