Here we go then, gang, back to the slog of a Fourth Division survival battle. Thoughts on this team? #ncafc 🧡🖤

To honour the memory of Chris Rea, we are pleased to report that the 1912 Exiles Christmas Special will be out these evening, all ready for you to enjoy as you're driving home for Christmas over the coming days. You're welcome. 💅🏻 #ncafc 🧡🖤

And for the Christmas Special recording, we’re going for a 10yr-old Edradour, matured in Sauvignon casks to give a fruity, almost tropical flavour. Pod out tomorrow or Wednesday, depending on whether you’ve been naughty or nice. #HazellsStandWhiskyClub #ncafc 🧡🖤

Further analysis from the same correspondent... #ncafc 🧡🖤

Another quick plug for this, in case anyone missed it yesterday. #ncafc 🧡🖤

A friend of the pod, who isn’t a County fan, texted yesterday to say that watching highlights of our recent defeats, and how our callow, frail players got outmuscled every time by opponents, put him in mind of this clip from South Park. Hard to argue, really. #ncafc 🧡🖤

A good read here from @boomstronk.bsky.social - hard to disagree with any of it. #ncafc 🧡🖤

We're very grateful to listener James who made his 1912 Exiles debut by submitting a match report on yesterday's defeat. Well worth four minutes of your time for a considered take on the game. 📺 youtu.be/vmDO1PQBZS4 #ncafc 🧡🖤

Has to be said that Newport Wetlands is dependably a more enjoyable family day out than County at the moment. Hell, even the Dragons are. Saw two curlews and a bullfinch, in case you're interested. #ncafc 🧡🖤

Good point raised here by @sotonexile.bsky.social. Thoughts?

Ideally it won't mention football at all. #ncafc 🧡🖤

No podcast out today. We're hoping to release a short match report audiogram later on, and we're recording our feature-length Christmas Special episode tomorrow. Make sure you're subscribed to all our usual channels so you don't miss a thing. 🧡🖤 #ncafc

I really do think it’s time for the players to hear a simple, clear, consistent tactical message. #ncafc 🧡🖤

A penny for your thoughts on the topic of “What is Christian Fuchs saying to his players at half-time?” Silly answers only, ovvo. #ncafc

Can’t believe Bromley are making it so hard for us to get tickets for the New Year’s Day game. Talk about a Kafkaesque process. #ncafc

Reminder of our #4QuestionPreview ahead of this afternoon's game - all the information you need to know about #ColU. Many thanks to Beyond The Barside on Insta for providing the answers. Safe journey to the mad buggers making the trip down. #ncafc

Going to Colchester tomorrow? Want to contribute a short (2-3min) voicenote to summarise the game, which we can put out as an audiogram? Slide into our DMs if so... #ncafc

One good thing about the fan forum not bringing about any massive new revelations is that our latest pod (Ep256) remains even more relevant! Give it a spin now if you haven't already. 🧡🖤 FULL EPISODE 🌳 linktr.ee/1912exiles #ncafc

Just on the offchance... If anyone's got a spare ticket (or two) for #goldielookinchain and #breichiauhir at #tramshed tomorrow, let me know. #caerdydd #cardiff #livemusic #gigs #cerddoriaethfyw

In Ep256 of the pod, we delved deep into off-field matters at Newport County - which saw @dredbridges.toot.wales.ap.brid.gy draw a tortured analogy between chairman Huw Jenkins and the Prime Minister... Agree? Disagree? Give us your views! 🧡🖤 youtube.com/shorts/y... #ncafc

Ed was on the wireless earlier, chatting with Dot Davies to give his verdict on last night's fan forum. Agree? Disagree? youtu.be/98G65kRhS2w #ncafc 🧡🖤

Is this a gif from Despicable Me, or a clip of the footage from last night? You be the judge... 🤣 #ncafc

Do give the latest @robandblakey.bsky.social podcast a listen - the discussion on Newport County (although bleak) is a very good assessment of where we find ourselves at the current juncture. 📺 youtu.be/XEK0GNebvmA... #ncafc

Well, that was a meeting that could’ve just been an e-mail. Still, good to catch up with yer @h-baladabadi.bsky.social’s and yer @antonyjevans.bsky.social’s and meet a few new listeners. Ed’ll be on BBC Radio Wales tomorrow around 7.20ish with his thoughts - but what were yours? #ncafc 🧡🖤

Quick overview of the fan forum so far. #ncafc 🧡🖤

Ouch. @robandblakey.bsky.social #ncafc 🧡🖤

Ahead of tonight's big fan forum, one final plug for our latest episode discussing the current challenges facing the club. In this clip, Rhys gave his view on why the business model pursued by Newport County chairman Huw Jenkins hasn't worked. youtube.com/shorts/y... #ncafc 🧡🖤

For you hip young gunslingers who prefer to watch our episodes rather than listen, Ep256 is available on our YouTube page and features a couple of slides / images to bring the conversation to life. You can also admire Ed's Christmas tree. 🎄 Enjoy! 🧡🖤 📺 youtu.be/h4rzxUKx17g #ncafc

Thoughts and feedback on Ep256 of the pod, listeners? Here's @ianstreet.bsky.social giving his reflection on how the current crisis compares to that which engulfed the club in the late 80s... FULL EPISODE 🌳 linktr.ee/1912exiles #ncafc

IT'S CHRIIIIIIISTMAAAAASSSS! 🧡🖤 Break out the festive logo... 🎅🏻🎁🎄 #ncafc

Quality pod as always 👏 Both interesting and worrying insight from Ian comparing it to poor on/off field issues from yesteryear. Totally agree with the poor comms issues. The last pre-game article referred to us as "...24st in the league..." 🤦‍♂️

We're really pleased with Ep256. Hopefully it's a good overview of Newport County's ownership situation ahead of tomorrow's fan forum. Many thanks to everyone who's said nice things about it. 😊 FULL EPISODE 🌳 linktr.ee/1912exiles #ncafc 🧡🖤
