Tonbridge Angels

The Case For Them

Here is the argument for Tonbridge Angels: England, England National League North and South. 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 North and South 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.

• Modern era club

  Formed in 1947, so the whole story is documented, arguable and still being written. Join now and you were basically there from the start.

• Nothing won, everything to play for

  Trophyless, so far. That is the pitch: be there before the story turns.

• Worth the journey

  Nearest airport is London Gatwick Airport (LGW), roughly 32km out. This is not a casual away day, which is precisely why the people who do it take it seriously.
