The Case For Them

Qingdao Jonoon are not a spare club. They are China Chinese Super League, Qingdao Youth Football Stadium, pick them and the season has a second spine.

Unrecorded beginnings
Nobody agrees on the founding date, which is its own kind of romance: Qingdao Jonoon exist because people in China kept turning up.
Loaded cabinet
12 distinct honours on record, including Chinese FA Cup. Adopt them and you inherit expectation, which is more fun than it sounds when the trophies keep coming.
Proper ground
Qingdao Youth Football Stadium takes roughly 50,000, 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 Hainiu (Sea Bull, 海牛). That is your new shorthand, your search term and your excuse for buying a scarf.
