Why Peterborough United

Peterborough United are not a spare club. They are England EFL Trophy, London Road, and 92 years of people deciding this was theirs, pick them and the season has a second spine.

Worth the journey
Nearest airport is London Luton Airport (LTN), roughly 77km out. This is not a casual away day, which is precisely why the people who do it take it seriously.
The calendar you inherit
England EFL 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.
Old enough to matter
1934 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: Third Division / League One (level 3) and Fourth Division / Third Division / League Two (level 4). Small enough to recite from memory, big enough to argue about in a pub.
