1912 Exiles

A bonus episode for you, consisting of two halves:

• Part 1 sees us sit down for a chat with Sarah and Paul from Undy AFC Women, who will be our local women's team in focus for the season. They tell us a bit about the team's background, what fans can expect if they come along to The Causeway to watch a game and their aspirations for the season. Give them a follow on Twitter or Facebook, and if you can do come and watch them at home to Wattsville FC Ladies (15 September) or Coed Duon Women FC (13 October).
• Part 2 mainly consists of a match diary by Dave from the Football League Trophy match against Cheltenham on Tuesday night, and then Ed gives a brief mention of our #4QuestionPreview ahead of Port Vale on Saturday.

No episode this weekend - instead, we'll do a bumper edition covering Port Vale (H) and Sw*ndon (a) in detail. Holler if you're at both games and fancy being part of the panel.

As ever , you can contact us via Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn with your views, and buy a sticker pack if you want to support what we do. Thanks to Tinty & The Bucket Hats for letting us use Discoland as our theme tune, and thank YOU for listening.

Ian Street, man on the northern beat provides an away diary at Morecambe!

Chats with Ollie in the "tactics truck", the lovely eggs, tiny terraces, flood-light watch, third kit bashing, the return of Scouse Lewis + a rushed and breathy post-game review stamping back to the train station. Will Ian make the train home? That and more on today's match day diary.

Ed is back in the chair again, and is joined by Caitlin to discuss another 3-1 home win against a team from the north. They talk about County's pragmatism in overcoming Accrington, lavish praise on Nick Townsend, and Caitlin starts a Madri-related beef... We also hear from Morecambe fan Dave Salmon about what to expect from next weekend's hosts.

During the chat, we give a plug to the #HerGameToo initiative, we mention the open training session being held for NCAFC Trust members (full details here) and we also direct you to support the fundraiser for Chepstow Town's defender Iestyn Davies.

We'll be back with Ian's matchday diary from Morecambe next weekend.

August is a big month for debuts, and we have one of our own - listener Rob made his first appearance on the pod, to talk about Tuesday's defeat at Orient, alongside Ed who witnessed Saturday's glorious home win against Doncaster. Between them they discuss the switch from a back five to a back four, fizzy midfielders, and squad depth. This was recorded and edited in haste due to holiday plans and lack of access to our usual tech - so apologies for the shonky audio; normal service will be resumed next week.

We also touch on Thursday night's meeting of the NCAFC Supporters Trust (join if you're not already a member), and we also gave a plug to the fundraiser for Iestyn Davies, Chepstow Town's young defender who was this week diagnosed with Stage 2 Hodgkins Lymphoma - please spare a few quid if you can. Get well soon, Iestyn.

What better way to start the new season than with an Ian Street match diary? Apart from an Ian Street match diary where we win, ovvo.

Our intrepid northern reporter ventures south to witness the first competitive game of the Jardim era, and finds a lot to welcome - but he also witnesses County's soft defensive underbelly in action. Listen in - and do send us your thoughts too via Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn. You can also buy a sticker pack if you like what we do.

We'll have more analysis next weekend, with Jamie offering insights from Orient (a) and Ed from Doncaster (H), so stay subscribed wherever you get your podcasts.

Diolch yn fawr to Tinty & The Bucket Hats for continuing to let us use Discoland as our theme tune - and big up you for listening as well.

We managed to wrangle all five podders for our big season preview episode. Jack was obviously late, and Jamie sent in pre-recorded bits from his Finnish sauna holiday - but their additions burnished contributions from Ian, Rhys and Ed. Together, the panel pulled together a comprehensive guide, even for those who might have zoned out a bit over the summer. The episode covers (timings approximate):

• 1 min: Panel intro and Jamie's simple guide to the summer coaching changes and new signings.
• 7 mins: Our 'players to watch' from the new intake.
• 13 mins: What have we learned from the pre-season games? And what do we make of Nelson Jardim so far?
• 21 mins: This season's new kits!
• 23 mins: Improved communications from the new NCAFC Supporters' Trust.
• 25 mins: Local 'club in focus' discussion - if you're involved with a women's team in Gwent and want to feature, drop us a line!
• 28 mins: Your questions answered, including "Which cheese best describes our pre-season performances?", and "What is Plan B?"
• 45 mins: Predictions - our panel put their reputations on the line to guess where County will finish the season.
• 53 mins: Shoutouts and beefs from our panel, and outro.

As always, you can contact the pod via Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn. If you like what we do and want to help us make more of it, you can buy a sticker pack. And you should also check out what Tinty & The Bucket Hats are up to; we thank them for continuing to let us use Discoland as our theme.

We'll hopefully be back with an Ian Street match diary from Cheltenham on the opening day of the season. Until then, be good to each other and Keep It County.

It's Jack on hosting duties this week. In a record for the 1912 Exiles, we bring you reports from two County matches on the same day! Ed reports on a rainy afternoon for County at Barry Town, whilst our North Wales correspondent Paul tells you what you need to know of the standout players from the U18s defeat at Llandudno in the MG Cup.

Then, in Part 2, we hear from Marc Ingles, manager of our 'club in focus' for this season, Chepstow Town. Do get down to their first home game of the season vs Caldicot on Tuesday 30 July if you can.

Our big pre-season preview episode should be with you in about ten days' time. Until then, drop us a line via Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn if you have anything to share. You can also buy our sticker packs to support the pod. As always, we thank Tinty & The Bucket Hats for letting us use Discoland as our theme tune, and we thank you for listening.

Part One sees Jamie & Ian catch up on all the latest Newport County news. They critique the new kit, recent signings, forthcoming friendlies, the Football League TV deal and the thorny issue of ground naming rights.

Whilst we await a new managerial appointment and further signings, we bring you another summer special bonus episode! In this one, Ian speaks to Christopher Evans, Newport-based author of Los Leones: the unique story of Athletic Club Bilbao. They discuss a surprising link between the Basque Country and Caerleon, the wider cultural overlap between the region and Wales, and of course the fascinating history of Athletic as a club.

Apologies for the slightly sketchy sound in parts of the episode - technical issues beyond our control etc. It's still a cracking listen!

We'll be back soon with a big news roundup about recent signings, the fixture list, and perhaps even County's new manager... In the meantime, you can get in touch via Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn, and you can buy our sticker packs to support the pod.
