The Case For Them

Here is the argument for Strasbourg: France, France Ligue 1, and a ground called Stade de la Meinau. A second team should give you something your first one cannot, and this is a different country's whole weather system.

  • Proper ground

    Stade de la Meinau takes roughly 32,300, big enough for atmosphere, small enough that you can learn where the singing corner is on your first visit.

  • You get a nickname

    Known as Le Racing Le RCS Les Bleu et Blanc (The Blue and Whites). That is your new shorthand, your search term and your excuse for buying a scarf.

  • Easy weekend

    Strasbourg Airport (SXB) is about 10km from the ground, and Krimmeri-Meinau railway station is 1km closer still. A home fixture is a genuinely doable two-night trip.

  • The calendar you inherit

    Following France Ligue 1 means odd kick-off hours, a new commentary language and a table you will check before your own club's. France becomes part of your week.
