Torino

Why Torino

Here is the argument for Torino: Italy, Italy Serie A. A second team should give you something your first one cannot, and this is a different country's whole weather system.

• Nothing won, everything to play for

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

• Easy weekend

  Turin Airport (TRN) is about 18km from the ground, and Torino Zappata railway station is 1km closer still. A home fixture is a genuinely doable two-night trip.

• The calendar you inherit

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

• Old enough to matter

  1906 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.
