Summary

This week on Finding a Football Club, the hunt for a new lower-league team reaches its ruthless business end. With Bolton, Harrogate and Barrow unceremoniously disqualified for having the absolute audacity to get promoted or relegated, a handful of 'Lucky Loser' spots have opened up in the Last 16. Burton and Shrewsbury have already filled two of them. Accrington Stanley are currently locked in for the third, but their place is under threat. Bantam fan, Kane Bethell, has 30 minutes to change Luke’s mind and steal the spot for Bradford City. Along the way, the lads discuss how Bradford dominates the serial killer charts, post-match shawarmas, Leeds-Bradford airport bragging rights, and how Kane’s sister rejected a homeless Dynamo. If Kane’s pitch is successful, Bradford will earn a whopping 6.25% chance of actually becoming the podcast's new club. The stakes have literally never been lower.
