#129: Sorry is the hardest word

1912 Exiles

Where better to spend the hottest Tuesday night of the summer so far than at Rodney Parade in the Trust / Shareholders meeting?!?
Ed and Ollie caught up afterwards to pick through the bones of the £1.2m loss, news on the ground lease, and speculation over potential future investment. Apologies for the audio on this one - Tiny Rebel was noisier than we expected and we'd forgotten to bring a proper mic!

#128: End of season review

Another season is over, and there is plenty upon which to reflect. Rhys is in the chair for our epic end-of-season review, and is joined by Ian and Ed as they analyse Newport County's 2022/23 season in depth. We revisit the decision to sack James Rowberry and where things went wrong for him, and track the evolution of 'Cockball' under his successor Graham Coughlan. We also consider which of County's out-of-contract players might still be with us come August.

We muse on kits, including this late 70s / early 80s effort, and ponder designing our own over the summer. We then settle a few scores in an end-of-season "shoutouts and beefs" extravaganza...
We'll stay in touch over the summer with a few special episodes (keep an eye on our Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn for info) as well as checking in about new signings as they emerge. But until then, thank you so much for your support this season, and enjoy the summer break!

#130: Football shirts special

With news imminent on County's away and third shirts for next season, Ed sat down over a pint in The Murenger with pod debutant James Oliver-House to discuss all things kit. What makes a good football shirt? Are proper collars still cool? What's the right shade of amber for a County shirt? What should VX3 be trying to do with next season's away and third kits? We discuss all these things and more!
A few links to things mentioned over the course of the conversation:

Here are pictures of some of James' shirts that we discuss
We mentioned this poll about mocked-up County kit designs
Cardiff Classic Shirts - back-of-shirt sponsors of the new third kit
The story behind Ajax's 'Three Little Birds' shirt
Ed mentioned Llantwit Major's amazing 2023/24 shirts
The Newport County kit archive

This is the second in our series of close-season content. Over the next few weeks we will bring you transfer analysis, a chat with County in the Community and shine a spotlight on how Newport City are getting on down at Spytty Park. Stay tuned for more, and in the meantime drop us any feedback via Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn.
