Solihull Moors

Make The Case

Here is the argument for Solihull Moors: England, England National League, and a ground called Damson Park. A second team should give you something your first one cannot, and this is a different country's whole weather system.

• Something to defend

  The cabinet is not empty: National League North (level 6) and FA Trophy. Small enough to recite from memory, big enough to argue about in a pub.

• Close to the pitch

  Damson Park holds about 5,500. 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 Moors. That is your new shorthand, your search term and your excuse for buying a scarf.

• Easy weekend

  Birmingham Airport (BHX) is about 2km from the ground, and Birmingham International railway station is 3km closer still. A home fixture is a genuinely doable two-night trip.
