Make The Case

Here is the argument for Stranraer: Scotland, Scotland League Two, and a ground called Stair Park, Stranraer. A second team should give you something your first one cannot, and this is a different country's whole weather system.

The calendar you inherit
Scotland League Two 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.
Deep roots
Founded in 1870, Stranraer were playing organised football before floodlights, substitutes or televised highlights existed. You are adopting 156 years of accumulated grudges.
Something to defend
The cabinet is not empty: Scottish Second Division: (third tier) and Scottish Third Division: (fourth tier). Small enough to recite from memory, big enough to argue about in a pub.
Close to the pitch
Stair Park, Stranraer holds about 1,830. You can hear the defenders shouting at each other, which is the single best argument for lower-capacity football.
