About this episode

The episode reviews a thrilling football match where Newport County won against Oldham Athletic in dramatic fashion.

Ep274 of the pod saw us review probably the craziest game of football any of us have ever seen, as Newport County came from behind to win 3-2 in the 108th minute against Oldham Athletic, putting us on the cusp of retaining our Football League status. A breathtaking game, with goals galore, a sending off, a missed penalty, a lengthy injury - all it needed was a dog on the pitch and it would have had everything. Many of you joined us after the game at the Riverside - but the sheer volume of background noise plus a technical SNAFU meant that the audio was sadly unusable. We're really sorry, but hope that those of you who came along enjoyed being part of the pod family over a beer or two. We were certainly grateful for your company. In lieu of that recording, Jamie and Ed hastily got together virtually on Sunday to relive a truly unforgettable day. Do check our website for all the pod info you need, or drop us a line on the socials if you have anything to tell us. As usual, our theme tune is the original 1973 recording of Come On The County - and we are brought to you in association with our friends at the Riverside Sports Bar . Until next time, look after yourselves and each other…
