A short episode, because Ep272 was a deep dive into County's accounts and Ep274 will be a "Live @ The Riverside" special, recorded after next Saturday's home match against Oldham. So for this one we just had a short chat with friend of the pod Marc Peplow about County's defeat at Whaddon Road, dwelling in particular on County's lack of goals this season. Don't forget that next Saturday will be our live show at the Riverside Sports Bar after the Oldham game. See you there.

We delve into some off-field matters this week. Last month, Newport County released its latest accounts for the 2024-25 season. To figure out what they mean for the club, Jamie, Rhys, and first-time episode contributor Jack are joined by football finance expert Kieran Maguire. They ask Kieran: Whether the latest losses are cause for concernWhat relegation to the National League could mean financiallyWhat it takes to be a sustainable club in the football league You should also make a note in your diary for our live show at the Riverside Sports Bar after the Oldham game on Saturday 25 April.

Ed is joined by Hwyligan for this one, which manages to be a two-for-one special where we analyse County's massive home win over Harrogate whilst also keeping an eye on Rogerstone Women vs Sully Sports Woman in the spring sunshine at Rogerstone Welfare... We unpack how County ground out a vital win on Saturday, but also look at the progress which has been made under Christian Fuchs and ponder how Newport County might get over the line for survival. Ed also trails a bonus episode of the pod (out next Thursday) where we ask football finance expert Kieran Maguire about County's recent accounts, and you should also make a note in your diary for our live show at the Riverside Sports Bar after the Oldham game on Saturday 25 April.

We bring you analysis of both of Newport County's defeats over the Easter weekend... Part 1 sees Rhys ask Hamid and Ed about the loss to Crawley, and then Part 2 is an Ian Street match diary from a pretty dispiriting trip to Notts County (joined by, amongst others, Dave & Iwan and Stu & Fraser). Such is our luck this season, the one bit of joyous audio - County's consolation goal - was unusable for technical reasons so it's an even glummer account than you expect. Gluttons for punishment that we are, we'll be back with another episode next weekend after the Harrogate six-pointer.

Jamie is joined by Alfie for this episode in the aftermath of Newport's vital 1-0 home victory over Shrewsbury. Together, they wade through listener comments in a 606 correspondence special, unpacking the game, the star performers, and looking ahead to that final six-game sequence that will determine the team's fate. A huge thanks to everyone who provided their thoughts, feelings, hopes, and fears across the socials. We'll be back soon with another episode.

Ed is in the chair and he asks Rob, Dave and Alfie to pick over the bones of matches against Barnet, Bromley and Walsall. They consider the positives (Sprangler's tenacity, Crole's raw unpredictability, the return of Smith & Shepherd) and the negatives (leaving men unmarked on the edge of the box, long queues for half-time Bovril, and CONCEDING LATE BASTARD GOALS), as well as looking ahead to Saturday's match and pondering how to maximise County's chances of a much-needed win. Ed also gives a shoutout to next weekend's Newport Music Trail - do have a look at the lineup and pick some bands and venues to support as we all celebrate a 4-0 dispatching of Shrewsbury...

The pod crew are having a week off, so this is a bonus episode for you in which Ed, Rhys and Ian conduct a thought experiment. Would County ever join the Cymru Leagues? How good would the offer have to be? And what would it mean for the club and its support? We'll be back next weekend with a full show, reviewing the games against Barnet, Bromley and Walsall.

A rare Ian Street match diary from Newport. Not in the happiest circumstances, or with the happiest of match reports, but there's some laughter and joy along the way as we hear from Dave, Iwan, Fin (from Maeve), Jack and Ed about the home loss to Colchester (as well as Dave & Ed's match report on the midweek win over Tranmere). Do check out our shiny new website and drop us a line on the socials if you have anything to tell us, including feedback on our new theme tune (the original 1973 recording of Run Lads, Shoot Lads). Thanks as ever to the Riverside Sports Bar for their support of the pod. Not yet sure of the plan for next weekend.

A short episode, this one, but we pack a lot in. Ed gets a match report from Silvers on Saturday's creditable away point at Fleetwood, we hear Rhys' take on the news that the Dragons will seek to help County stay at Rodney Parade if relegation happens, and we preview Tuesday's game by chatting to our usual Tranmere correspondent Ethan. We also mention in passing a characteristically insightful match report on Saturday's game from The Venerable Mark Vickery (from whom we also stole the picture for this week's episode artwork).

In another joint episode between the 1912 Exiles and the Dragons Lair podcast, we sat down for a chat over Zoom with Leader of Newport Council, Dimitri Batrouni. We asked about the council's commitment to both grassroots sport and pro sport in Newport, what steps it might take to support the redevelopment of Rodney Parade, and whether anything will ever get built on the Cabbage Patch. We're grateful to Dimitri for giving us his time, and we hope you find the chat useful and engaging. And then after the break we hear from Dave & Iwan about the great away win at Salford, and from Jack about the home defeat to Cambridge... Many thanks to them for their reportage. Give us a holler if you want to provide insights on next Saturday's game at Fleetwood.

After one point from nine leaves County five points adrift at the bottom of the Fourth Division, Ed caught up with Alfie, Logan and debutant George to ask what went wrong against Grimsby, Swindon and Franchise - and how on earth we can extract ourselves from this mess.

Well that was a week, wasn't it? After the high of the Chesterfield win, Jamie, Jack, and Alfie dissect those defeats to Accrington Stanley and Bristol Rovers, as well as a curious transfer deadline day. We're also keen to highlight the 15:01 kick off time for this weekend's Grimsby match. It's for the Every Minute Matters campaign with British Heart Foundation to raise awareness on CPR training. 8 out of 10 cardiac arrests outside of hospitals occur at home, and survival chances drop 10% for every minute without intervention. So look after your loved ones and teach yourselves the basics by checking out BHF Revivr for a 15 minute course entirely for free. Also, huge, huge thanks to everyone who has donated to the GoFundMe for Ollie - we've been blown away. We'll be back after the Grimsby home game, possibly before Swindon away.

This week saw the awful, tragic news that podcast regular and one of our favourite people, Ollie Allen, passed away very suddenly and unexpectedly at the age of just 23. We devote a large chunk of the episode to talking about our favourite memories of Ollie and what a huge loss he will be to the fanbase and to the city. We mention the GoFundMe page set up to support his family at this difficult time, honouring a young life full of joy, loyalty, and too short a time with us. And we also praise the great work by the club and fans to organise a very moving minute's applause during Saturday's game in Ollie's memory. Thank you to everyone who made it so poignant. We touch too on recent results, last week's NCAFC Trust meeting and the transfer window - and no doubt we'll return to some of those themes in our next regular episode, most likely after the Bristol Rovers game. But until then, and in this week even more than usual, please take care, look after yourselves and each other, and above all Keep It County.

After a weather-enforced break, we're back with a few bits of business: First up, Jamie sat down over Zoom with Arnie from the NCAFC Supporters' Trust to discuss next week's AGM - what's up for discussion, why are the Trust considering relinquishing some of their shares, and what's the wider picture around the financial health of the club?Then, Ed asks Alfie for his reaction to a busy week of transfer ins and outs.We catch up with the ME7 podcast to get a preview of what we can expect from a trip to Gillingham on Saturday.And finally, we get a welcome update from our friends at Rogerstone AFC Women on their recent progress.

Sunday's postponement of Newport County vs Tranmere threw into disarray our podcast release plan for a review of the New Year week double-header! But we wanted to make the transition back to work on Monday easier for you, so here's a short pod anyway. Ed speaks to 1912 Exiles debutants Logan and Fab to get their review of the New Year's Day loss to Bromley, and then the panel consider County's transfer business so far and where the biggest gaps remain. Happy New Year to all listeners.
