The Case For Them

Sheppey United are not a spare club. They are England FA Trophy, Holm Park, Sheppey, and 136 years of people deciding this was theirs, pick them and the season has a second spine.

Deep roots
Founded in 1890, Sheppey United were playing organised football before floodlights, substitutes or televised highlights existed. You are adopting 136 years of accumulated grudges.
Loaded cabinet
9 distinct honours on record, including Southern Football League Division Two. Adopt them and you inherit expectation, which is more fun than it sounds when the trophies keep coming.
Close to the pitch
Holm Park, Sheppey holds about 1,530. You can hear the defenders shouting at each other, which is the single best argument for lower-capacity football.
You get a nickname
Known as The Ites. That is your new shorthand, your search term and your excuse for buying a scarf.
