One club. Infinite regrets. After 18 months searching for a team, Luke Oddie, Will Herron, Roberto Boni and Jay Alexander-Ali have finally settled down. York City is the chosen one. Now, the real challenge begins: learning to actually love them. This isn’t a love letter to football. It’s a late-night “You up?” text message.","last_synced_at":"2026-09-25T14:20:56.880338+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/finding-a-football-club-7520288"},"episode":{"title":"Reading, Rotherham United, Stevenage & Stockport County","slug":"reading-rotherham-united-stevenage-stockport-county","published_at":"2026-06-04T04:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/finding-a-football-club-7520288/reading-rotherham-united-stevenage-stockport-county","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/finding-a-football-club-7520288","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/findingafootballclub/episodes/Reading--Rotherham-United--Stevenage--Stockport-County-e3jvtv8","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/104d53310/podcast/play/120632744/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-4-27%2Fe8301534-f9d2-af06-9d9b-ebe6920ef060.mp3","summary":"With the Last 16 bracket nearly complete, Finding a Football Club is back to fill the penultimate spot. This week, Luke, Will, Roberto and Jay sift through the next batch of lower league hopefuls: Reading, Rotherham United, Stevenage and Stockport County. Before all that, Jay enters an official (oil) state of mourning over Pep Guardiola’s departure from Man City, the lads accuse Thomas ‘The German Spy’ Tuchel of sabotaging the WC26 England squad, and Jay makes the delusional claim that six Scottish players would walk into the Three Lions' setup. When the actual pitches begin, football analysis is quickly abandoned. Instead, they uncover John Madejski’s alleged affair with Cilla Black, and learn that Dave Kitson was set to manage the world’s most diabetic nation against a team of fat Reading fans. Plus, Will turns whistleblower to oust an Australian MP, there’s jealousy over the Chuckle Brothers' ability to pull women in Manchester nightclubs, and is Jay making porn films for Stockport County?","meta_description":"With the Last 16 bracket nearly complete, Finding a Football Club is back to fill the penultimate spot.
