Why Waltham Abbey
Adopting Waltham Abbey means England FA Trophy results start mattering to you, a club going since 1944. Not a novelty, a habit.
Old enough to matter
1944 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.
Loaded cabinet
8 distinct honours on record, including Essex Junior Cup. Adopt them and you inherit expectation, which is more fun than it sounds when the trophies keep coming.
Close to the pitch
[http://stable.toolserver.org/geohack/geohack.php?pagename=Capershotts¶ms=51 holds about 3,500. 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 The Abbotts. That is your new shorthand, your search term and your excuse for buying a scarf.
