Reasons To Adopt

Viking are not a spare club. They are Norway Eliteserien, Viking Stadion, Stavanger, and 127 years of people deciding this was theirs, pick them and the season has a second spine.

Close to the pitch
Viking Stadion, Stavanger holds about 15,900. 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 De Mørkeblå (The Dark Blues). That is your new shorthand, your search term and your excuse for buying a scarf.
Easy weekend
Stavanger Airport, Sola (SVG) is about 7km from the ground, and Hinna station is 1km closer still. A home fixture is a genuinely doable two-night trip.
The calendar you inherit
Norway Eliteserien is cold-weather football: mud in February, breath visible under the lights, and a fixture list that rewards anyone who sticks it out. Norway does not do easy neutrals.
