Reasons To Adopt
Shortlees are not a spare club. They are Scotland Scottish Cup, Burnpark Recreation Ground, Kilmarnock, and 2027 years of people deciding this was theirs, pick them and the season has a second spine.
Home is home
Burnpark Recreation Ground, Kilmarnock is the address. Learn the walk from the station to the turnstile and you have most of what supporting a club actually is.
You get a nickname
Known as The Lees. That is your new shorthand, your search term and your excuse for buying a scarf.
Easy weekend
Glasgow Prestwick Airport (PIK) is about 11km from the ground, and Riccarton and Craigie railway station is 1km closer still. A home fixture is a genuinely doable two-night trip.
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.
