Show Notes
127. Lleida CF
To create something bigger than football from the ashes of your club which has twice been driven to bankruptcy shows a desire that many football clubs dream of.
We're joined by Jordan Thomas from La Liga and Beyond and Juanjo Lecumberri, club vice-president, to talk about the recent revival of Lleida CF, who are starting life for a third time in the tenth tier of football in Spain.
The difference between the former club and the latest iteration of Lleida CF is that the power of controlling and representing the club now belongs to the supporters.
