The Case For Them
Penicuik Athletic work as a second team because they come with their own geography: Scotland, Montgomery Park Carlops Road, Penicuik, and a set of rivalries you will absorb faster than you expect.
Close to the pitch
Montgomery Park Carlops Road, Penicuik holds about 2,000. You can hear the defenders shouting at each other, which is the single best argument for lower-capacity football.
You get a nickname
Known as Cuikie; Rookie Cookie. That is your new shorthand, your search term and your excuse for buying a scarf.
Easy weekend
Edinburgh Airport (EDI) is about 16km from the ground, and Penicuik railway station is 1km closer still. A home fixture is a genuinely doable two-night trip.
The calendar you inherit
Scotland Scottish Cup is cold-weather football: mud in February, breath visible under the lights, and a fixture list that rewards anyone who sticks it out. Scotland does not do easy neutrals.
