RP getting a bit of a makeover... 🏟️ (picture posted on The Other Place by the Newport Gwent Dragons earlier today) #ncafc 🧡🖤

Smashing article this, exposing the vanity of the goons running/ruining the game. www.theguardian.com/...

Missing football already? Get yourselves booked onto the Supporters' Club fun bus for some of the summer friendlies... And if you want to learn more about the Supporters' Club, go back and listen to Ep228 of the pod! #ncafc 🧡🖤

This was a good listen - and includes some excellent analysis at the start about why Nelson Jardim's Newport County trying to play a Pep style didn't work. open.spotify.com/episode/69HS... @danielstorey85.bsky.social @ntt20.com @alimaxwell.bsky.social #ncafc 🧡🖤

Today is the day that #JeffersonLouis finally retires - after 28 seasons, aged 46, having played 903 games for 50+ clubs with 293 goals to his name. A hugely impressive guy... But we couldn't not show THAT clip of him running into a post for County, could we?!? #ncafc 🧡🖤

If you fancy a wild read this morning, do catch up on this by friend of the pod @uglygame.bsky.social. It's the story of Ian Rush, a complex legal dispute, and a truly terrible 90-minute musical written by AI. theuglygame.wordpress.com/2025/05/21/t... #football #PêlDroed

Rhys spent some time yesterday getting his nerd on, and devising this chart showing age v minutes played from last season. Basically, we need more Bakers 👨🏻‍🍳, but he's currently the outlier. Summer recruits ideally would add to that top-left corner. Thoughts? #ncafc 🧡🖤

Good quick work by Chris Kirwan at the Argus - apparently the player registration ban is "nothing for supporters to concern themselves with", and "the matter will be rectified shortly.” www.southwalesargus.co.uk/sport/252117... #ncafc 🧡🖤

Uh-oh... 👀 Hopefully the club can clarify ASAP. (via knowledge.fifa.com/r... for those wanting to check for themselves) #ncafc 🧡🖤

Great discussion about #ncafc 🧡🖤 on this week's @distantpod.bsky.social, as they explore in depth the 2019 BBC documentary about the club's giantkilling exploits. Give it a listen, Exiles! Eventually, we will persuade @steffg.bsky.social to come onto our pod to talk about County matters... 👋🏻

We’ve completed SEVEN seasons as a podcast without ever having needed a pod meeting… until today. Big, weighty matters of state are on the agenda. Pencils are sharpened. All present? #ncafc 🧡🖤

🧮 Breaking maths update! 🧮 @cymruollie.bsky.social‬ has done his sums, and next season's away trips are looking a lot more manageable - for those of us in southeast Wales, anyway. (sorry ‪@ianstreet.bsky.social) #ncafc 🧡🖤

Some crackers in here, including of the Hazells Stand in all its glory. #ncafc 🧡🖤

The consensus seemed to be that people are pleased about this one. And as a pod, we’re happy to reignite relations with @oldhamfanmedia.bsky.social 🫱🏼‍🫲🏻 Croeso nôl i'r Adran Pedwaredd, bois! / Welcome back to the Fourth Division, lads! #ncafc 🧡🖤 #oafc 🦉

So, we'll be reunited with Oldham Athletic again next season then in the Fourth Division. How do we feel about that, Exiles? At least two of the pod crew are looking forward to visiting Boundary Park. See you there?!? #ncafc 🧡🖤

Last season was poor, especially at the end - but honestly, the football can't start again quickly enough. 3pm on a Saturday afternoon and I'm in f***ing Hobbycraft. How are you filling a football-free weekend, listeners? #ncafc 🧡🖤 #EFL #League2 #FourthDivision

In Ep229, our panel discussed Newport County's released and retained list. Rhys asked the big question: can we adequately replace Nick Townsend if he leaves, given our meagre budget? FULL EPISODE 🌳 linktr.ee/1912exiles #ncafc 🧡🖤

Ep229 of the pod is now out! In it, we discuss the appointment of Dai Hughes as manager and what it might mean. In this excerpt, @ianstreet.bsky.social ponders whether County can exploit the names in the new gaffer's little black book... FULL EPISODE 🌳 linktr.ee/1912exiles #ncafc 🧡🖤

It's been a privilege this season to follow Undy AFC Women and Chepstow Town as our local teams in focus, and to shine a light on some great people involved in both clubs. We're keen to hear from sides interested in being next year's equivalent. Our DMs are open! #ncafc 🧡🖤

A few good responses to yesterday's homework task, including from @boomstronk.bsky.social and @treigladschmeiglad.bsky.social. Anyone got any other suggestions to share? #ncafc 🧡🖤

In the latest episode (Ep229), our panel gave their responses to Sarah's question - but we'd love to hear yours as well! #ncafc 🧡🖤

Listened yet? What did you think? #ncafc 🧡🖤

Cautious optimism is where I currently am. Much depends on new signings which are critical to get right this year. No room for error

ICYMI, we have a new episode out! We bring you the panel's thoughts on County's new management team, on the retained / released list, and on which song best summarises the 2024/25 season... FULL EPISODE 🌳 linktr.ee/1912exiles #ncafc 🧡🖤

You may remember football writer @danielstorey85.bsky.social, who spoke with us in Ep214 about "doing the 92". His excellent final summary piece is here inews.co.uk/sport/footba... - and it contains praise for the Hazells Stand with which we strongly agree. #ncafc 🧡🖤

☀️Ep229: Brighter times☀️ We discuss: Dai Hughes' appointment as manager, Hatswell's return, and take a peek at the released & retained list. LISTEN & SUBSCRIBE 🟢 Spotify: tinyurl.com/1912exilessp... 🍎 Apple: tinyurl.com/1912exilesap... 💻 Online: shows.acast.com/1912exiles #ncafc 🧡🖤

Awful to read of what's happening in Liverpool. Don't share the footage, and don't feel the need to speculate about anything. If you want to actually help, here's a link to donate to the local children's hospital: donate.alderheycharity.org/donate/ #ncafc 🧡🖤

With Wayne Hatswell back at the County, it's time to resurrect one our favourite clips featuring his dulcet tones... 🤬 🍩 #PottyMouth #ncafc 🧡🖤

Excellent @panicshack gig at the Corn Exchange tonight - and apparently their drummer is a County fan too! #ncafc 🧡🖤

The public have spoken, and apparently our house style will be to call the new gaffer Dai Hughes! #ncafc 🧡🖤
