Burnley: Stuck in the middle with you
Season 1 · Episode 23
Tuesday, November 26, 2024 • Duration 32:46
Club 23 of 92 in Burnley.
Burnley is one of the oldest clubs in England, playing professional football as early as the 19th century, and one with FA Cup and First Division titles under their belts. In more recent years however, they've been the ultimate yo-yo club; too good for the Championship, too bad for the Premier League.
In this episode, Daniel, James and guest Andrew Greaves (of From The Bee Hole End, a Burnley podcast) talk through how it feels to be a fan of a club stuck in the middle, and discuss the identity of the club that has whiplashed between extreme pragmatism to extreme ideologue. Where do they sit now?

Thursday, November 21, 2024 • Duration 35:48
Club 22 of 92 is AFC Bournemouth.
Bournemouth are flying high these days under progressive Basque coach Andoni Iraola, but if you go back a couple of decades their entire existence was under threat, with administration and points deductions plunging the club down the football pyramid.
The years of recovery have turned into years of Premier League stability. In this episode, Daniel sits down with one of the pillars of their all-action midfield: Lewis Cook (aka the Yorkshire Rodri). They discuss club philosophy and the process of recovering from two ACL injuries.

Tuesday, November 19, 2024 • Duration 32:11
Club 21 of 92 is Cheltenham Town FC.
Fresh from dropping into League 2 this year, the Robins aren't having the best couple of seasons. Sitting lower-midtable, they are struggling on the pitch - looking to avoid the dreaded double relegation - and off the pitch to engage punters.
In this episode, James and Daniel speak to James Young, head of Cheltenham's supporters trust about some of the problems surrounding the club. And they also discuss the light at the end of the tunnel - new investment is being sought not just at the club, but also in the entire region, with around £1bn set to be pumped into business in the local area.

Thursday, November 14, 2024 • Duration 30:12
Club 20 of 92 is Walsall FC.
Tucked away in the West Midlands, the Sadlers fly somewhat under the radar, surrounded as they are by the likes of Aston Villa, West Brom, and Wolves. Now in League 2, they find themselves looking upwards at a potential promotion push, but their best work might actually come away from the match day.
In this episode, James and Daniel discuss Walsall’s ‘Beat The Block’ program, set up as an aid for suicide prevention. Daniel attends one of the free football sessions the program runs, complete with Walsall first-team players in the dugout, and brings back tales of what it’s done for the participants.

Fleetwood Town: Charlie Adam takes on EFL’s smallest club
Season 1 · Episode 19
Tuesday, November 12, 2024 • Duration 32:50
Club 19 of 92 is Fleetwood Town.
Known as ‘the Fishermen’, the coastal Fleetwood Town FC are one of the smallest clubs in the EFL by crowd size - their home at the Highbury Stadium barely gets 5,000 through the doors. Nevertheless, in the last few years, they are a club that has fought above their weight, climbing out of non-League to League 1 (before relegation to their current place in League 2). And their manager is a familiar face: former Liverpool, Stoke and Blackpool midfielder Charlie Adam.
In this episode, James and Daniel discuss how the club have overachieved in recent seasons, from bold managerial choices to the emergence, goals and sale of Jamie Vardy. And we hear from Charlie Adam himself on dealing with grief during his playing career, and his start to life as a first-time manager.

Preston North End: The ultimate midtable club
Season 1 · Episode 18
Thursday, November 7, 2024 • Duration 32:16
Club 18 of 92 is Preston North End.
The original 'Invincibles', PNE started life in the 19th century as one of England's elite clubs, doing the league and cup double without losing a game in 1888/89. However, this kind of success didn't quite make it to the 20th or 21st century.
Preston have now been ensconced in the middle of the Championship for over a decade, finishing between 10th and 14th seven times in nine seasons. Joining James and Daniel to discuss this mediocrity is Jack Tucker of The Butter Pie Podcast, as we ask who is to blame for the clubs stagnation, and whether there are any bright sparks in the team.

Season 1 · Episode 17
Tuesday, November 5, 2024 • Duration 31:18
Club 17 of 92 is Birmingham City.
Birmingham City are flying high at the top of League 1, fresh off a summer where they spent more money than Manchester City. The club's new American ownership group, including former NFL star Tom Brady, opened the chequebook to ensure a quick return to the Championship, and it seems to be working. But how ambitious is the club beyond that?
James Gray and Daniel Storey attempt to answer this and take a look at what the Birmingham revolution looks like on the pitch.

Tuesday, October 29, 2024 • Duration 27:09
Club 15 of 92 is AFC Wimbledon.
AFC Wimbledon rose from the ashes of Wimbledon FC, the club stolen from the community and airlifted to Milton Keynes. A couple of decades later, they're playing each other in League 2, with the Wombles having undergone a remarkable journey back to the EFL in record time.
In this episode we hear about the 'not a derby' derby that Daniel takes in at Plough Lanes against MK Dons, relive the dramatic history the connects the two clubs, and ask how Wimbledon have been so successful under fan ownership.
