Episodes
#180: La Salvezza
April 29, 2024 03:00 - 47 minutes - 45.6 MBAs County haul themselves over the line after a draining, frustrating but also at times surprising and memorable season, we check in for our final regular episode of 2023/24. We'll have a full end-of-season review and some summer specials in the weeks ahead - but for this one we've got Ian Street's match diary from Bradford (a), and then we chat with Amber Arnie and Nigel Dutson about what they learnt at last Thursday's meeting of the Newport County AFC Supporters' Trust. In passing we ment...
#179: Feeble, weak and not ourselves
April 14, 2024 03:00 - 26 minutes - 25.7 MBSix defeats on the bounce, so it's not the most uplifting episode. In the first half, Jack and Ed discuss the defeat to Tranmere and Cocko's post-match critique. In the second half, we throw it open to your voicenotes and reaction. Many thanks to everyone who sent in contributions. There's not a lot to cheer the County faithful at the moment - but our 1912 Exiles sticker packs are the best chance you've got. Only a fiver - go on, treat yourself. As always, you can get in touch via Twitter,...
#178: Jekyll & Jekyll
April 09, 2024 22:01 - 42 minutes - 39 MBTwo cheeks of the same arse, those two performances. Ian reports on the away defeat at Grimsby, lightening the gloom with some whimsical chat about floodlights and sea views. Ed then takes up the reins for a Tuesday night at home to Accrington Stanley in front of 3,000 die-hards, chatting along the way with yer Ollies, yer Stus, yer Chrises and yer Amber Arnies. Not many things to cheer the County faithful at the moment - but d'you know what would brighten your mood? Some 1912 Exiles sticke...
#177: April fools
April 02, 2024 13:50 - 59 minutes - 56.6 MBOur first big panel discussion for a while - sadly sans Rhys, but Jack does an excellent job of corralling Ian, Ed & Jamie to make sense of recent events. It's a long one, this episode, so here's what to expect and when in the episode (rough timings, depends on adverts length!): 1m10s: Intros 3m18s: Jamie's match diary and Colchester analysis 20m43s: Crawley analysis 28m10s: "Beat the pod" quiz 31m43s: Is the playoff dream over? 35m32s: A word about the Morecambe game... 47m46s: Your ...
#176: Blown away at Barrow
March 24, 2024 04:00 - 23 minutes - 23.1 MBIt's another Ian Street match diary, but sadly without quite the same level of joie de vivre as last weekend. The "fifth Beatle" of the pod, Ollie, also makes an appearance - but neither of them find much to warm the soul from a frustrating and cold afternoon in Barrow. The podcast, like the NHS, remains proudly free at the point of need. However, if you are able to chip in to support what we do then you can visit our ko-fi page; anyone setting up a regular £2pm donation will get a little t...
#175: A grand day out (Wimbledon away)
March 18, 2024 13:45 - 45 minutes - 42.1 MBWell, get ready for an Ian Street matchday diary extraordinaire, ably supported by Ed & Jamie, as well as an assortment of guest appearances, including Stu, Fraser, Ollie, the Dragons Lair podcast & more! Wimbledon still doesn't know what hit it. Anyone setting up a £2pm donation via our ko-fi account before the month is out will receive a mystery gift through the post - do support us if you can. And if you can't, please at least leave a nice review via your podcatcher or give us a plug on ...
#174: Madden-ing
March 10, 2024 16:55 - 32 minutes - 30.7 MBSo near, but yet so far... Analysing that painful late, late defeat at Edgeley Park, Ed & Jamie are joined by pod debutant Alfie and regular contributor Ollie to question the officiating whilst still paying tribute to a battling performance that so nearly paid off. Ahead of Tuesday night's Fourth Division game against Morecambe, we also thank Dave Salmon for his voicenote telling us everything we need to know about our visitors. Right at the start, Ed teased you by saying that anyone settin...
#173: Staggered!
March 02, 2024 20:59 - 12 minutes - 12.8 MBThe 1912 Exiles threw this one open to you - our wonderful listeners - to make sense of today's defeat to Mansfield. Some agreed with our view that today just needs to be dismissed as an off day against a quality side - others argued that this showed a lack of ambition, and wholesale changes are required. There were some strong words for the ref, differing opinions about the quality of our opponents, and a lot of looking ahead to what the summer might hold. Whether you agree with us and we a...
#172: Harrogate (A) a.k.a. Newport County 4
February 28, 2024 15:10 - 23 minutes - 21.2 MBOur man on the northern beat, Ian Street, makes a rare foray even further towards the arctic to bring you a matchday diary from Harrogate away. In the middle of a dizzying start to 2024, Newport County find themselves just two points off the playoffs, with huge games to come in the next few weeks. But instead of feeling daunted by games against the league's top two, why not settle in with a heartwarming listen, as Ian does battle with the Harrogate PA system, shares his best Martin Tyler, "...
#171: In the eye of the media storm
February 24, 2024 04:47 - 34 minutes - 31.3 MBIn a highly unusual move, we're dropping an episode on a Saturday and bringing you another belting interview. In this one, Jamie speaks with Chris Kirwan (of the South Wales Argus) and Louis Cartwright-Walls (Media Manager for Newport County AFC) about being at the centre of the media storm during our FA Cup tie with Manchester United. They discuss having to stay professional when all around them were getting carried away with the hype, the mixed feelings towards the journos turning up to Ro...
#170: Notts, Gills and crypto
February 19, 2024 16:36 - 47 minutes - 41.8 MBAnother 'pod of two halves' as we balance analysis of on-the-pitch matters with a broader look at other issues. Part 1 of this episode is a catch up between Rhys and Ed about the home matches against Notts County and Gillingham, with County demonstrating great 'bouncebackability' powered by Will Evans' scoring antics. Then, in Part 2, we speak with Martin Calladine about his new book, No Questions Asked: how football joined the crypto con. The book is excellent, and comes highly recommended ...
#169: Walsall away, feat. H.W.J. Charsley
February 11, 2024 11:17 - 29 minutes - 27.2 MBWe were going to wait until after the Notts County game to drop an episode, but after THAT 3-0 win up at Walsall, Jamie demanded an emergency pod. So he dragged Ed out of bed on a Sunday morning, and with the help of Arnie's match day diary, they dissected that cracking away performance. Also in the pod: how can Newport cope with a tough run of fixtures coming up? How many leaders can one side have? Is H.W.J. Charsley a butcher, a poet, or a 19th Century sportsman? As always, you can conta...
#168 - Swindon win, Newport City Women & talkSPORT!
February 04, 2024 19:20 - 49 minutes - 45.8 MB#168 - Swindon win, and Newport City Women After 167 episodes, Ep168 marks a bit of a new era for the 1912 Exiles.... We are delighted to announce that we have partnered with talkSPORT to be a part of their fan network of podcasts, hear more at the top of the pod. The first half of the episode is an Ed (https://toot.wales/@DrEdBridges) match diary of the game against Swindon Town, with guest input from Robins fan Phil (https://twitter.com/philmoomp) as well as Hazells Stand regulars Stu, ...
#167: Manchester United, Wrexham, Huw Jenkins
January 30, 2024 17:00 - 1 hour - 50.2 MBIt’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...
#166: Man Utd preview
January 21, 2024 03:00 - 45 minutes - 31.2 MBYes 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 abo...
#165: Rope a Dope!
January 13, 2024 19:00 - 21 minutes - 14.5 MBYes 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 no...
#164: Beastleigh
January 06, 2024 18:00 - 21 minutes - 14.5 MBA 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. Another 1-1 draw for Coughlan's side, in a game that County should have put away comfortably. Contact us via Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn with your thoughts. Thanks as always to Tinty & The Bucket Hats for letting us use Discoland as our theme, and to all of you for listening.Support the show Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
#163: Unbroken duck
January 02, 2024 10:00 - 30 minutes - 20.7 MBAmber 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 Tw...
#162: Three for one
December 30, 2023 21:00 - 35 minutes - 24.2 MBDid you miss us?!? We're back as promised with a wrap-up of County's three festive fixtures: Amber Arnie reports from the Cae Ras, continuing his run of only ever reporting on defeats. He'll soon be facing the dreaded vote of confidence... 😉 Rhys reflects on the Boxing Day comeback against FGR and what it tells us about both teams' survival hopes. Ed offers his perspective on the draw against Crewe and argues the glass is half-full. We'll be back next week with a Sutton review and an exc...

December 20, 2023 20:00 - 54 minutes - 37.4 MB🎅🏻 Nadolig Llawen i chi gyd!🎅🏻 The pod team are taking a short Christmas break, but hope to be back just before New Year's Eve with a roundup of the matches against Wrecsam, Forest Green Rovers and Crewe. But to keep you going over the festive period, our panel (Rhys, Jamie, Jack, Ian & Ed) got together for a bit of seasonal silliness. As well as some Newport County cracker jokes and carol puns, the panel were asked to build the perfect Frankenstein's monster from bits of County players - l...

#160: Deceived by flight
December 17, 2023 04:00 - 25 minutes - 17.4 MBHonours 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...
#159: Good hair day (Barnet away)
December 13, 2023 08:00 - 15 minutes - 10.8 MBJamie heads to Barnet (but not Barnet) for Newport County's FA Cup second round replay.

#158: Tran-merde
December 10, 2023 09:00 - 8 minutes - 5.74 MBThe 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 ou...
#157: FSA Awards
December 05, 2023 12:00 - 23 minutes - 16.2 MBWe've got something a bit different for you today... We were honoured to be nominated in the "club podcast of the year" category at this year's Football Supporter's Association awards, and Ian & Jack made the trip to London on Monday for the awards do. This episode brings you their report of the night, featuring poetry (of course), food reviews, a bit of slurring after all the free beer, some celeb name-dropping, but most of all a deep debt of gratitude to you for listening and for helping t...
#156: Frozen Barnet
December 03, 2023 09:00 - 9 minutes - 6.44 MBHave you thawed out from that yet? 🥶 A frustrating afternoon of FA Cup action at the end of a gruelling week. Ed is on hand to offer a few tactical insights and find a silver lining to the cloud.

#155: If only More Came
November 28, 2023 22:00 - 22 minutes - 15.4 MBIan, Ollie and 81 other hardy souls braved the November cold air and the cruel mistress that is the M6, and were richly rewarded for their troubles. A fine win puts County within touching distance(!) of the playoffs(!!) and gives us plenty of confidence going into December's big set of games. As trailed, you can now buy a 1912 Exiles fridge magnet directly through our ko-fi page! Please do if you can - it supports the pod and gives you a nice little Christmas gift in return.

We'll have Morecambe and Barnet reaction for you in the week ahead. If you like what we do, please help us out by ...
#153: Nowt from North Notts
November 19, 2023 10:00 - 32 minutes - 22.4 MB"Got what we deserved: absolutely nothing" The bulk of this episode is another Ian Street match diary, this time from the trip to Field Mill. Ian catches up with a few faithful listeners along the way, but there were few positives to take from the game. The episode also hears Ed check in with Craig from the Mansfield Matters podcast, and get their perspective on County's survival chances and on Graham Coughlan's time as manager. Gluttons for punishment that we are, we will be at next Satur...

#150: Hammer blow
October 22, 2023 17:00 - 25 minutes - 17.7 MBEd and Ollie discuss the key points from County's draw against Walsall: Maxted's performance in goal, how Countryfile fared in midfield, and our best defensive / attacking partnerships. We also look ahead - briefly - to a tough week of away games at Notts County and Gillingham, and start a beef with football administrators. Stay tuned as the other members of the pod team bring you content over the next few weeks, and drop us any thoughts via Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn. Our thanks as alwa...
#149: Swindon (a) with Rich
October 15, 2023 12:00 - 8 minutes - 5.98 MBWe're very grateful to our Southwest of England Correspondent, Rich Cocksedge, for sending us his report of yesterday's defeat in Wiltshire. It doesn't make for positive listening - we've heard more upbeat Radiohead albums - but it's a good and fair analysis of a disappointing afternoon. We'll be back after Friday night's game against Walsall. In the meantime, drop us a line through Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn if you'd like to. Our theme tune is Discoland, reproduced with permission of Ti...
#148: Bare bones
October 08, 2023 11:00 - 26 minutes - 17.9 MBHow much are County riding their luck, how much are they making their own luck, and how much are they being affected by rank bad luck? That's the theme this week after a smash-and-grab victory over Colchester was followed by a decidedly sub-par performance at home to Harrogate Town. Ed is in the chair for this one. The episode features a post-match chat from Tuesday with Simon, and then a longer discussion with Dan about Saturday's defeat. We also draw heavily on the deluge of comments we ha...
#147: Elis James on Huw Jenkins
October 04, 2023 03:00 - 20 minutes - 14.4 MBSo, Huw Jenkins has been waved through to takeover Newport County. He’s been in this position before, at Swansea City. So who better to take us through the experience of supporting a Huw Jenkins-led football club than Swans fan, podcaster extraordinaire, and one of the premier voices of Welsh football, Elis James! We’ll be back with at the weekend with combined analysis of the Colchester and Harrogate double header. In the meantime, drop us a line on Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn if you have...

October 01, 2023 09:00 - 22 minutes - 15.6 MBAfter a tumultuous week off the pitch, Newport County get back to the bread and butter of fourth division football. Ian’s back on the northern beat - this time in the suburbs to the north of Manchester city centre.

#145: Huw Jenkins - snap verdict
September 29, 2023 03:00 - 27 minutes - 18.6 MBAt the end of a big night in Newport County's history, Ed and Ian jumped straight onto Zoom to consider matters. With Trust members voting 455-8 in favour of selling a majority stake in the club to former Swansea City chairman, Huw Jenkins, what might happen next? What will he bring to the table, how will our club change, and what role will there be for the Trust going forwards? This was recorded 'as live' so apologies if the audio quality or lack of editing mean it's not as polished as usua...
#144: Defensive Cook-ups
September 24, 2023 14:00 - 21 minutes - 14.8 MBSorry, I'm afraid we have to talk about that Bradford game... Ed is joined by Chris Kirwan of the South Wales Argus, who wrote an insightful article laying bare what went wrong on Saturday afternoon and the challenge County face to put it right before a challenging run of games.

As always, you can...

September 21, 2023 14:00 - 20 minutes - 14.3 MBAhead of a colossal week at Newport County, with the Trust voting on a change to the club’s ownership, one of the two prospective bidders has joined Jamie Harris on the pod. We’ve heard from Huw Jenkins in other media, but in a 1912 Exiles exclusive, Jon Pratt joins us to outline who exactly the investment partners are, why they’ve put an offer in, and the sort of value the owners can provide to the club. DISCLOSURE TIME: We have also reached out to the other bidding party directly - but t...
#142: Decision time
September 19, 2023 03:00 - 37 minutes - 25.8 MBWith the big Trust vote next week on a change to County's ownership, we've tried to unpick some of the key issues as fans grapple with the choices. Ed is joined by two guests with plenty to contribute. Nigel Dutson was Chair of the Trust from 2010 to 2013 so has sat in the hot seat and knows the difficult balancing act the current Board face. Gareth Leaman, meanwhile, wrote an excellent article dispassionately examining current debate - we'd recommend it as pre-pod reading if you get chance....
#141: Too hot for a high press
September 10, 2023 03:00 - 23 minutes - 16.4 MBIan battled the M1 and M25 on the hottest day of the year en-route to Crawley, so you didn't have to... Along the way, he caught up with a few friends of the pod (yer Amber Arnies, yer Stus, yer Ollies) and praised the good value of Crawley's away ticket pricing. The record does not show whether or not he still felt the same at 5pm... As always, you can contact the show via Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn with any questions or comments.

#139: The Llangedwyn Eusébio
August 27, 2023 03:00 - 25 minutes - 17.6 MBEd is back in the chair and welcomes long-time listener Hamid to the pod for his debut. Hamid gives a review of the away hammering of Forest Green Rovers (and gives a thumbs-up to their chickpea curry pasty) whilst Ed praises the character shown in coming back to beat Sutton at home. And we continue the pod's love-in for Will Evans, who seems to have the golden touch at the moment. We'll be back next weekend to discuss the matches against Brentford in the League Cup and AFC Wimbledon in the...

A Newport-born boy, he shares stories about his time reporting on the club in the 80s; his interactions with the likes of Justin Edinburgh, Dave Boddy and Graham Westley; and in more recent years in the Flynn, Rowb...

August 16, 2023 03:00 - 49 minutes - 34.3 MBCrikey, what a mad few days... We start with a panel discussion where Rhys, Ian and Ed wax lyrical about County's 4-0 demolition of Doncaster in the August sunshine. We heap praise on Will Evans, Aaron Wildig and Ryan Delaney, and ask whether we need to raise our pre-season expectations... We are then brough crashing back down to earth by a Crewe audio diary from listener Dan Williams as County ship four goals including two to former captain Mickey Demetriou. And then, as if we weren't al...
#136: Fans' meeting (EMERGENCY POD!)
August 10, 2023 21:00 - 20 minutes - 14.4 MBSound the klaxon, because your 1912 Exiles are here to give our on-the-spot reaction to Thursday night's fans' meeting at Rodney Parade to discuss potential future ownership options. If you weren't there, slides from the meeting can be viewed hither. Ed retired to The Murenger (best pub in Newport and spiritual home to the pod) with Dan Grace to go through the key things we learned at the meeting and what they might mean for the future. Dan also gives his reflections on Tuesday night's victo...

Rhys is on hosting duties, and is joined by Ian and Ed for the live record - and Jamie sends in his contribution from a piazza in Florence, surrounded by copies of the Gazetta della Sport like James Richardson on Channel 4 in the 90s (ask your parents, kids). They analyse in forensic detail County's signings, argue over our ...
#133: Nic the togger / Sheffield away
July 18, 2023 03:00 - 33 minutes - 23.3 MBWe continue our run of close-season special episodes, with Ian in the chair this week. In the first half, he catches up with Newport County royalty and all-round good egg Nic Johns to hear about life as a lower-league football photographer. Nic gives great advice for any budding toggers wanting to get started, reflects on her favourite (and least favourite) grounds to visit, and also talks about her passion for wildlife photography. Then, in Part 2, we have one of Ian's famous audio match d...
