1912 Exiles

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. Thanks as always to Tinty & The Bucket Hats for letting us use Discoland as our theme, and to all of you for listening.

#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, Fraser, Ollie and Chris. Despite an immediate setback, a tactical masterstroke at half-time saw County conjure up a win which leaves them on 40pts and looking firmly up the table.

In the second half of the show, we bring you the first of a few planned bonus features over the coming month. In this one, we check in with Newport City Women FC (https://twitter.com/newportcitywfc) , hearing from their players Amy Doswell and Sophie Jenkins about how their season is going and how healthy the women's game is in Newport more generally. If you want to lend them your support, the games they mention at the end are away at Cardiff City U19s at Ocean Park in Cardiff on Sunday 11 February (2pm) and a big game at Newport Velodrome against Penybont on Sunday 21 April (also 2pm).

A little teaser of our Christmas Special, which should arrive in your feeds in the next 48hrs. Make sure you're subscribed so that Father Christmas doesn't miss you out!

Our 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, "Agueroooooooo" impression, and a bit of potted history about the Bath Spa of the north.

Don't forget, we have two excellent episodes in our feed: our chat with Newport County media manager Louis Cartwright-Walls and South Wales Argus wordsmith Chris Kirwan on the media storm surrounding the Manchester United game last month; and our interview with Martin Calladine about his new book, No Questions Asked: how football joined the crypto con. Both well worth checking out if you haven't already.

Keep your eyes peeled for some more interviews in the coming weeks and months, as well as our regular panel chats and matchday diaires. In the meantime, you can follow us on Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn and send us your thoughts and questions. You can also contribute a voicenote via our Speakpipe page or donate the price of a Bovril towards our running costs through our ko-fi account.
