The Case For Them

Sparta Praha are not a spare club. They are Czech Republic First League, epet ARENA, and 133 years of people deciding this was theirs, pick them and the season has a second spine.

Something to defend
The cabinet is not empty: Bohemian Football Union Championship/Czechoslovak First League/Czech First League: and Czechoslovak Cup/Czech Cup:. Small enough to recite from memory, big enough to argue about in a pub.
Close to the pitch
epet ARENA holds about 18,349. 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 Železná Sparta (Iron Sparta) Rudí (The Reds/The Maroons) Letenští. That is your new shorthand, your search term and your excuse for buying a scarf.
Easy weekend
Václav Havel Airport Prague (PRG) is about 11km from the ground, and Národní třída is 1km closer still. A home fixture is a genuinely doable two-night trip.
