    Episode 9 - The lost clubs of British football
    May 15 2026

    John Mitchell explores the lost clubs of British football — from fallen giants and ghost grounds to struggling industrial towns and one unforgettable non‑league FA Cup adventure. Featuring the haunting remains of a Scottish powerhouse, the strange rise and fall of a club in West Ham, the resilience of a small Welsh side, and a personal tale from Thame United’s not‑quite‑famous 2004 cup run, this episode looks at ambition, collapse, community survival, and why some clubs continue to matter long after the trophies, terraces and floodlights have disappeared.
