Why Sutton United

Here is the argument for Sutton United: England, England National League, and a ground called Gander Green Lane, Sutton. 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
England National League is cold-weather football: mud in February, breath visible under the lights, and a fixture list that rewards anyone who sticks it out. England does not do easy neutrals.
Old enough to matter
1898 is the founding date, old enough that the club has survived a war, a rebuild and at least one financial scare, young enough that the good years are still in living memory.
Loaded cabinet
9 distinct honours on record, including National League (level 5). Adopt them and you inherit expectation, which is more fun than it sounds when the trophies keep coming.
Cathedral football
Gander Green Lane, Sutton holds around 70,321,132. Even a routine league game arrives with a noise floor most clubs only reach in a semi-final.
