Make The Case

Here is the argument for Worthing: England, England National League, and a ground called Woodside Road, Worthing. A second team should give you something your first one cannot, and this is a different country's whole weather system.

Easy weekend
Southampton Airport (SOU) is about 5km from the ground, and Northam railway station is 0km closer still. A home fixture is a genuinely doable two-night trip.
The calendar you inherit
England National League is cold-weather football: mud in February, breath visible under the lights, and a fixture list that rewards anyone who sticks it out. England does not do easy neutrals.
Deep roots
Founded in 1886, Worthing were playing organised football before floodlights, substitutes or televised highlights existed. You are adopting 140 years of accumulated grudges.
Loaded cabinet
8 distinct honours on record, including National League. Adopt them and you inherit expectation, which is more fun than it sounds when the trophies keep coming.
