UE Sant Andreu

Why UE Sant Andreu

Here is the argument for UE Sant Andreu: Spain, Spain Copa del Rey, and a ground called Narcís Sala. 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

  Narcís Sala holds about 6,563. You can hear the defenders shouting at each other, which is the single best argument for lower-capacity football.

• Easy weekend

  Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport (BCN) is about 17km from the ground, and Onze de Setembre is 0km closer still. A home fixture is a genuinely doable two-night trip.

• The calendar you inherit

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

• Old enough to matter

  1909 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.
