We continue our gentle summer stroll through off-the-pitch matters around football in Newport, with a genuinely heartwarming catchup with some of the County in the Community crew.
Over the course of a few hours at Rodney Parade, Ed chatted with Dave Lewis (Football & Education Programme Co-ordinator) and participants in the new Fit Fans programme which helps men and women aged 35-65 who are looking to lose weight, get fitter and lead a more active life. But as we hear, it's not just about that - it's also bringing people together for companionship and a bit of joy.
We also hear from CitC's Chief Exec, and County legend, Norman Parselle - a man whose enthusiasm and spirit is so good for the soul that he should be prescribed on the NHS.
Honestly, if this episode doesn't bring a smile to your face, you need to have a word with yourself!
Be sure to check out our other close season specials - they cover the supporters' meeting in June (Ep129), a canter through what makes a great football shirt (Ep130), and an analysis of recent trust goings-on and transfers (Ep131). We've also got a pod lined up about our neighbours at Newport City, and a big season preview episode later in the month.
