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.

#129: Sorry is the hardest word

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!

Next Episode

#41 (re-up): The David Buttress interview

We hope to have a new episode out in the coming days about last week's AGM and Trust meeting, and implications for County - but in the meantime, we've watched closely the takeover of the Newport Dragons and Rodney Parade by David Buttress, which was confirmed on Friday. The deal could change radically the landscape of professional sport in Newport, and the new owner is a man with big ideas.
Way back in January 2021, our Jack had a lengthy chat with David Buttress, and although the context has changed a little we felt it was well worth re-posting. In it, they discuss:

The state of the Rodney Parade pitch (since addressed!)
The challenges with Rodney Parade
What any proposed takeover of the Dragons could mean for County
Whether David's father, a longtime Newport County supporter, ever asked him to get involved with NCAFC and would he be open to the hybrid model of ownership in future?
Sporting tribalism and its place in Newport

Enjoy the episode and, as always, do drop us any feedback via Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn.
