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":"The Bradford City Pitch","slug":"the-bradford-city-pitch","published_at":"2026-08-06T04:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/finding-a-football-club-7520288/the-bradford-city-pitch","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/finding-a-football-club-7520288","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/findingafootballclub/episodes/The-Bradford-City-Pitch-e3mg26e","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/104d53310/podcast/play/123258510/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-6-24%2F428532796-44100-2-a7cf479ac3ae3.m4a","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.
