1912 Exiles

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Welcome back, hope you had a good Christmas. Ed didn't get to any of County's festive fixtures, so he sought to find out what he missed by speaking to Amber Arnie, Wise Dan and Dave "Yr Alltudion" (whose Welsh-language County updates can be found on Twitter, Bluesky and Mastodon). The gang discuss the league games against Franchise FC, Bromley and Walsall - and what needs to change ahead of the big double-header against AFC Wimbledon and Morecambe.

We'll be back after those two home games with our next episode. In the meantime, you can get in touch via your social media platform of choice if you have any thoughts you want to share.

Thanks as always to the Riverside Sports Bar (the home of Welsh sports fans) for their valued support for the pod, and to Tinty & The Bucket Hats for letting us use Discoland as our theme tune. If you like what we do, you can throw us a few pennies on our ko-fi page to help with the pod's running costs.

Be good to yourselves and each other, and above all Keep It County!

Another '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 by your 1912 Exiles, and Martin gives us his insights into how poorly-regulated and often criminal crypto enterprises have preyed on football fans.

In the absence next weekend of County playing a proper game against an opponent who deserves to exist, we'll bring you another cracking interview in lieu of a match report; stay subscribed so you don't miss out. 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.

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

After 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.

Ably assisted in the tactics truck by friends of the pod Stu, Fraser, and Ollie, Ian covers #floodlightwatch, #bovrilwatch - and the game as well.

As always, you can contact the show via Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn with any questions or comments.

ICYMI: Ed joined the BBC Radio Wales team on Friday night in the aftermath of the Huw Jenkins vote. Huw appeared on the show, before Ed spoke with Rob Phillips and Jason Perry about what this means for the club. You can listen back here (11 minutes in).

After a dozen games of the Fourth Division season, we decided now was the time to have a bit of a deep dive into tactics. Ed, Ian and Jack discuss fulcrums ("fulcra"?), double pivots, and inverted wingers, drawing on what they collectively saw in recent games against Harrogate, Bradford and Chesterfield. We also check in on progress by our featured local teams in focus, Undy Women AFC and Chepstow Town, and Jack starts a beef with Spytty The Dog.

As ever, you can contact us via Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn. We also say at the start of the pod that if you visit our ko-fi page then you can either give us a few quid a month, or you can buy one of our few remaining sticker packs - all funds support the pod with our costs.

Many thanks for listening - and thanks also to Tinty & The Bucket Hats for letting us use Discoland as our theme tune.

Keep it County!
