Reasons To Adopt
Preston Athletic are not a spare club. They are Scotland Scottish Cup, and 81 years of people deciding this was theirs, pick them and the season has a second spine.
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.
Old enough to matter
1945 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.
Nothing won, everything to play for
No major honours on record, which means every cup run is uncharted territory and every promotion feels like a coronation.
Easy weekend
Edinburgh Airport (EDI) is about 24km from the ground, and Prestonpans railway station is 1km closer still. A home fixture is a genuinely doable two-night trip.
Matchday Trip
Ground: to be confirmed. Go in a day early, find the pre-match pub, buy the programme.
