Nickname: The Port

Why Tayport

Here is the argument for Tayport: Scotland, Scotland Scottish Cup, and a ground called The Canniepairt Shanwell Road Tayport. A second team should give you something your first one cannot, and this is a different country's whole weather system.

Close to the pitch
The Canniepairt Shanwell Road Tayport 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 The Port. That is your new shorthand, your search term and your excuse for buying a scarf.
Easy weekend
Dundee Airport (DND) is about 10km from the ground, and Tayport railway station is 1km closer still. A home fixture is a genuinely doable two-night trip.
The calendar you inherit
Scotland Scottish Cup 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.
