The Case For Them

Takeley are not a spare club. They are England FA Trophy, Station Road, Takeley, and 123 years of people deciding this was theirs, pick them and the season has a second spine.

Something to defend
The cabinet is not empty: Essex Olympian League and Essex Premier Cup. Small enough to recite from memory, big enough to argue about in a pub.
Close to the pitch
Station Road, Takeley holds about 2,000. 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 | founded = 1900. That is your new shorthand, your search term and your excuse for buying a scarf.
Easy weekend
London Stansted Airport (STN) is about 3km from the ground, and Takeley railway station is 0km closer still. A home fixture is a genuinely doable two-night trip.
