Nickname: Sainté Les Verts (The Greens) Les Stéphanois (The Stéphanois)

Reasons To Adopt

Here is the argument for Saint-Étienne: France, France Ligue 2, and a ground called Stade Geoffroy-Guichard. A second team should give you something your first one cannot, and this is a different country's whole weather system.

You get a nickname
Known as Sainté Les Verts (The Greens) Les Stéphanois (The Stéphanois). That is your new shorthand, your search term and your excuse for buying a scarf.
Worth the journey
Nearest airport is Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport (LYS), roughly 62km out. This is not a casual away day, which is precisely why the people who do it take it seriously.
The calendar you inherit
Following France Ligue 2 means odd kick-off hours, a new commentary language and a table you will check before your own club's. France becomes part of your week.
Old enough to matter
1920 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.
