420 FC
01/The Locker Room

Kickoff 16:20 · Home dressing room

Everyone's
Second Club.

You are standing in the dressing room of 420 FC, a fictional club with a real kit, a glass-roofed cage and a terrace that never quite empties. The shirt is on the hook. Take a look around, then walk out.

The squad sheet

Eleven lockers. Eleven people who don't exist.

Every player at 420 FC is invented. Open a locker to meet them, then send their name and number to the print shop for your own shirt.

All players, characters and places on this site are fictional. Any resemblance to real people is unintended.

Three club rules, said in the tunnel

Rule 01

Nobody presses.

We play 4-2-0. Four at the back, two in the middle, nobody up front who can't take a joke. The ball does the running.

Rule 02

Kickoff is 16:20.

Not 16:00, not 16:30. Fixtures, doors, the kettle and the match ball all start at the same minute.

Rule 03

Everyone's second club.

Support whoever you support. We're the one you check for after that, the one that makes the afternoon better.

Home ground

The
Greenhouse

A Victorian iron-and-glass hall with a five-a-side cage dropped inside it. Wet turf, warm floodlights, ferns pressing against the fence and rain tapping the roof. Capacity: whoever fits.

The terrace

The
High End

Behind the goal, under the tin roof, a hundred knitted scarves are tied to the barriers and nobody remembers who started it. This is where the singing comes from, and the flares, and the tea.

Tie your scarf

Join The High End

Match-day notes, new drops and the odd zine, sent when there's something worth saying.
