Amidst today's news about the WRU potentially reducing the number of pro rugby teams in Wales from four down to three, do listen back to our episode last month where we explored the implications for the Dragons, for County, and for Newport as a city.

The Dragons Lair Podcast

Listen to #241: The WRU's decision from 1912 Exiles. With the Welsh Rugby Union considering reducing the number of Welsh rugby regions from four down to two, this episode explores some of the potential ramifications - not just for rugby, but for Rodney Parade, for Newport County, for the city centre...

With the team once again at a crossroads, we want your views.

What - REALISTICALLY - should happen between now and 3pm Saturday to give the team the maximum chance of victory against Harrogate?

Ep248 (released yesterday) saw Ed & Ian whisk up some tortured analogies to describe County's approach to recruitment over the last few windows... Agree? Disagree? Got one of your own to add? Tell us in the comments.

🥴 Ep248: Where now? 🥴

After Newport County’s humbling by Cheltenham Town, we consider the big questions.

- Can Dave Hughes keep his job?
- What will happen if he goes?
- Where does our defensive injury crisis leave us?
- Can we still be in contention for survival come January?
- Is there even money to strengthen if we are?
- Is our situation more akin to a bad episode of Ready, Steady Cook or to Icarus?

Yesterday was a very disappointing day for Newport County, and a result that could cost Dave Hughes his job as manager. But if it does, maybe he can pursue his REAL destiny... as a disco dancer!

Off to do a 10k run. I'll jog around for 45mins enjoying myself and working hard, whilst having precisely zero impact on a game of football.

"Doing a Michael Spellman", as I believe it's known.

Thank you, I'm here all week, try the chicken.

1912 EXILES: AN APOLOGY

This week, we beseeched fans to for the Cheltenham game.

After that performance, we apologise unreservedly to anyone who followed our suggestion rather than weeding the garden, deworming the dog or any doing the ironing.

Giving this one more plug. Be part of it today, Exiles - let's and give the boys all the support they need.

Massive game on Saturday. If you’re a 'five-times-a-season' County fan, this is one you NEED to attend.

To paraphrase Orleta Adams:

"You can reach it by caravan
Cross the desert like an Arab man
We don't care how you get there
Just get there if you can."

Tomorrow's game sees County meet a team benefiting from a "new manager bounce" - but what might it mean for the two sides' prospects?
