About this episode
The episode features an interview with County chairman Huw Jenkins discussing the past season and future of the club.
As players, coaches and fans take a well-earned breather, we sat down for a lengthy chat with County chairman Huw Jenkins to look back at a rollercoaster season and to ask how the club might steer itself into calmer waters. Mr Jenkins gave an open and honest assessment of what went wrong last year, but also in explaining what lessons have been learned from it, and why fans should keep the faith. We also touch on whether any future investment might be forthcoming, club communications, and the relationship with the Dragons and Newport Council. We'd like to put on record our thanks to Mr Jenkins for speaking with us. Not every chairman would open themself up to scrutiny from an unofficial club podcast, and we hope listeners find the conversation of interest. We'll be back with more summer content over the coming weeks, likely dropping a new episode every fortnight (roughly). In the meantime, check out our website for all the pod info you need, and 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…
