This week saw the awful, tragic news that podcast regular and one of our favourite people, Ollie Allen, passed away very suddenly and unexpectedly at the age of just 23.

We devote a large chunk of the episode to talking about our favourite memories of Ollie and what a huge loss he will be to the fanbase and to the city. We mention the GoFundMe page set up to support his family at this difficult time, honouring a young life full of joy, loyalty, and too short a time with us. And we also praise the great work by the club and fans to organise a very moving minute's applause during Saturday's game in Ollie's memory. Thank you to everyone who made it so poignant.

We touch too on recent results, last week's NCAFC Trust meeting and the transfer window - and no doubt we'll return to some of those themes in our next regular episode, most likely after the Bristol Rovers game. But until then, and in this week even more than usual, please take care, look after yourselves and each other, and above all Keep It County.

Thanks as ever to the Riverside Sports Bar for their support of the pod. Our theme is Virgo by Sean T.

After a weather-enforced break, we're back with a few bits of business:

• First up, Jamie sat down over Zoom with Arnie from the NCAFC Supporters' Trust to discuss next week's AGM - what's up for discussion, why are the Trust considering relinquishing some of their shares, and what's the wider picture around the financial health of the club?
• Then, Ed asks Alfie for his reaction to a busy week of transfer ins and outs.
• We catch up with the ME7 podcast to get a preview of what we can expect from a trip to Gillingham on Saturday.
• And finally, we get a welcome update from our friends at Rogerstone AFC Women on their recent progress.

For those of you planning on attending Thursday's Trust meeting, you can register online. No payment is required - once you've entered your details, you just need to add your membership number (as shown in your Trust Membership account on the website or in the e-mail inviting you to the meeting).

We'll be back in about ten days' time, all being well, to react to the Gillingham and Chesterfield games and to discuss the ramifications of the Trust meeting. But until then, look after yourselves and each other, and above all Keep It County!

Sunday's postponement of Newport County vs Tranmere threw into disarray our podcast release plan for a review of the New Year week double-header! But we wanted to make the transition back to work on Monday easier for you, so here's a short pod anyway. Ed speaks to 1912 Exiles debutants Logan and Fab to get their review of the New Year's Day loss to Bromley, and then the panel consider County's transfer business so far and where the biggest gaps remain.

Happy New Year to all listeners. Be sure to get 2026 off to a bang by leaving a nice review wherever you get your podcasts - and if you fancy being on an episode, drop us a line via your social media platform of choice. Thanks as always to Tinty & The Bucket Hats for letting us use Discoland as our theme tune, and to the Riverside Sports Bar (the home of great sport and burgers in Newport) for their support of the pod.

We'll be back in a few weeks' time - but until then, look after yourselves and each other, and above all Keep It County!

Ian Street graces the south in a feature length match-day diary with Ed, Rhys & Jack for his first home game of the season. After today's performance, we are now negotiating with 1912 Exiles commercial to subsidise more visits as the official club's good luck charm! Come with us on a journey of bewilderment and bovril spice on-scene at Rodney Parade as we remember that winning feeling, not felt since March.

Ian, Rhys, Alfie & Ed assembled for a festive recording, seeking to fulfil their promise of an episode free from County-related misery and to bring some light relief to a traumatic season. Over the course of an hour, they discuss: what Christmas presents you'd buy for past Newport County players; quirky stories about football at Christmas; what we'd do if we were the ghosts of Christmas past / present / future; the best loan players or most under-rated players we've seen in a County shirt - oh, and then Rhys finishes things off with an anagram quiz, only for us to realise most of them were wrong...

A long-overdue episode, this one, as we explore Newport County's ownership, the potential loss of league status, and the current existential crisis at NP19.

Ian is in the chair, and is joined by Rhys and Ed. The gang briefly discuss the Crewe and Fleetwood games, but then turn our attention to matters off the pitch. With a crunch fan forum meeting taking place next Wednesday, we ask what chairman Huw Jenkins needs to say and do, what the next six weeks may mean for the club's medium-term future, and what needs to change culturally to shift the dial at the club from gloom to joy.

After a shambolic TV broadcast this week which made the FIFA World Cup draw (complete with Rio Ferdinand-Gianni Infantino comedy skits and Wayne Gretzky attempting to pronounce “North Macedonia”) look like a polished, professional affair, Jamie attempts to unpack Newport County’s humbling in the FA Cup away to Borehamwood.

You may wish to cheer yourself up by listening to some Radiohead, or even better, Ed’s chat with the Crewe pod The Railwaymen ahead of our away game on Wednesday. Check it out here.
