1912 Exiles

It’s been SOME week for Newport County. We beat Wrexham at home, we had Manchester United RATTLED (for 21 minutes), Huw Jenkins has formally taken over the club, and the Supporters’ Trust held its AGM. We also signed someone! So, no wonder this pod turned into a bumper episode. Jamie, Ian, Ed, and Jack all convened in the aftermath of that FA Cup game at Rodney Parade to chew the fat.Also in this pod: wine chat, the most expensive Newport County tickets ever sold, and the result of a full AVENGERS ASSEMBLE meet up of the entire pod crew for the first time.HUGE thanks to our regular ko-fi contributors: Mark Williams, Daniel Heirene, Hamid Baladabadi, Martin Kings and the Row Z Exiles WhatsApp Group. And to our recent contributors: Mark, Tony and Gav, plus also Carol who thrust a fiver at Ed during the AGM. Your generous support helps us keep the lights on and produce more Newport County content.Contact us via Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn with your thoughts.

Yes yes, we know that there's the big victory over Wrexham to discuss – but we wanted to cynically capitalise on the extra interest around the Man Utd game, so we’ve created this big preview show. We’ll do a feature-length episode in a week or so to discuss how we managed to bring down the Gogs and also however we fare in the FA Cup Fourth Round.In this preview, lovingly compèred by Jack, you will hear:Jamie and Ed settle down for a cosy fireside chat in a London pub to dare to dream about springing a surprise…Ian takes a look at the history books to answer the question “Is Sunday’s game against Man Utd the biggest County have ever played?” (spoiler alert – no) An opposition preview from No Question About That – a Man Utd podcast who fill the gaps in our knowledge about top-flight football and offer insights on our opponents.Reflections from Rhys on Eastleigh ("Rhystleigh"), who also fires up the Tactics Truck to analyse Man Utd's weaknesses.At the start, Jack mentions our ko-fi - if you're able to throw in the price of a Bovril towards what we do, it'd be appreciated. If you're not, then that's fine, but do leave us a nice review or recommend us to a friend instead.Contact us via Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn with your thoughts.

Yes yes, we know everyone's excited for the potential trio of Eastleigh (a), Wrexham (H) and possibly Man Utd (H) - but before that, we've got an important trip to Doncaster which needs our attention.Who else would we send to this one but Ian Street? On his travels, he chats with Ollie, Stu, Fraser and even the Usually-Unlucky Amber Arnie - but perhaps today might be the day he breaks his duck!We gave a plug to our ko-fi - if you're able to throw in a few quid then thank you; if you're not then that's fine, but do leave us a nice review or recommend us to a friend instead.Contact us via Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn with your thoughts.

A rare match diary from Rodney Parade, as Rhys & Ed hunker down at the back of the Hazells Stand for the FA Cup game against Eastleigh.

Amber Arnie is back again with an away match diary - this time on the disappointment of two dropped points in Sutton, and his intact record of not reporting on an away win. After that, Ed interviews Eastleigh's U18s manager and Newport County fan Ashley Healey ahead of the teams' meeting on Saturday in the FA Cup.Oh, and there's a bit of belated festive fun with a response to our challenge for listeners to come up with an Offrande Zanzala Christmas pun...Stay in touch with the pod via Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn.

Honours even at Rodney Parade against the Mariners. Ian and Ed ponder how and why Newport and Grimsby cancelled each other out, and also zoom out to consider the bottom third of the table. Ed also gauges the mood in The Murenger from both home and away fans at the game.All being well, the Christmas Special episode of the podcast should 'drop' (as the kids say) on Wednesday, and then we'll take a breather from producing #GreatContent until after the Crewe game.As always, stay in touch with the pod via Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn.

The legendary Amber Arnie brings us a match report from Prenton Park on what proved a frustrating afternoon for County, in a classic 'game of two halves'. Did the windy conditions play a part? Arnie manages to squeeze in #FloodlightWatch, a chat with Ollie, and even establishes a catchphrase for himself. See if you can spot it...All being well, Jamie will bring you a report from Barnet on Tuesday night, and Ed will be at the Grimsby game on Saturday. We'll also - hopefully - be recording our Christmas special this week, to appear in your feeds over the festive period.Stay in touch with the pod via Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn.
