1912 Exiles

#266: Tickling trout

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. We may have a Barnet match report, or we may offer up some alternative bonus content for a bit of fun... But until then, look after yourselves and each other, and above all Keep It County.

#265: Onward Christian's soldiers

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).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).

#264: Dimitri Batrouni

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.

#263: The howl

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.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).

#262: Disgruntled sigh

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. But until then, look after yourselves and each other, and above all Keep It County.Thanks as ever to the Riverside Sports Bar for their support of the pod. Our theme is Virgo by Sean T.
