A few weeks I questioned how David Buttress would maintain his position at the Dragons/Rodney Parade following his appointment as full-time CEO of Ovo Energy. Now we know. Buttress is standing down as Chairman at the end of June. The Dragons/CEO Graeme Bradbury is also leaving at the end of the rugby season. New faces for Huw Jenkins to negotiate and work with.

It has to be done this summer or we can't stay in the EFL after getting a one-year extension for the season just finished ..read more

I have taken this information in the main from transfermarket.co.uk so there could be the odd anomaly with reality such ..read more

iframe As County haul themselves over the line after a draining, frustrating but also at times surprising and memorable season, we check in for our final regular episode of 2023/24. We'll have a full end-of-season review and some summer specials in the weeks ahead - but for this one we've got Ian Street's match diary from Bradford (a), and then we chat with Amber Arnie and Nigel Dutson about what they learnt at last Thursday's meeting of the Newport County AFC Supporters' Trust. In passing we mention that our 1912 Exiles sticker packs remain on sale, should you want to send us a few quid. A ..read more
