Make The Case

Troyes are not a spare club. They are France Ligue 1, Stade de l'Aube, and 40 years of people deciding this was theirs, pick them and the season has a second spine.

Worth the journey
Nearest airport is Chalons Vatry airport (XCR), roughly 53km out. This is not a casual away day, which is precisely why the people who do it take it seriously.
The calendar you inherit
Following France Ligue 1 means odd kick-off hours, a new commentary language and a table you will check before your own club's. France becomes part of your week.
Modern era club
Formed in 1986, so the whole story is documented, arguable and still being written. Join now and you were basically there from the start.
Something to defend
The cabinet is not empty: Ligue 2: and UEFA Intertoto Cup:. Small enough to recite from memory, big enough to argue about in a pub.
