Pisa

Why Pisa

Here is the argument for Pisa: Italy, Italy Serie B, and a ground called Cetilar® Arena. A second team should give you something your first one cannot, and this is a different country's whole weather system.

• Easy weekend

  Pisa International Airport (PSA) is about 5km from the ground, and Pisa San Rossore is 1km closer still. A home fixture is a genuinely doable two-night trip.

• The calendar you inherit

  Following Italy Serie B means odd kick-off hours, a new commentary language and a table you will check before your own club's. Italy becomes part of your week.

• Old enough to matter

  1909 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.

• Loaded cabinet

  6 distinct honours on record, including Serie B. Adopt them and you inherit expectation, which is more fun than it sounds when the trophies keep coming.
