Yes, you aren't mistaken - this is a very short episode of the Brunton Bugle! Unfortunately, Mike has been struck down by a bug after the Grimsby game and has lost his voice.

We hope to have a new episode out in the coming days about last week's AGM and Trust meeting, and implications for County - but in the meantime, we've watched closely the takeover of the Newport Dragons and Rodney Parade by David Buttress, which was confirmed on Friday. The deal could change radically the landscape of professional sport in Newport, and the new owner is a man with big ideas. Way back in January 2021, our Jack had a lengthy chat with David Buttress, and although the context has changed a little we felt it was well worth re-posting. In it, they discuss:The state of the Rodney Parade pitch (since addressed!)The challenges with Rodney Parade What any proposed takeover of the Dragons could mean for CountyWhether David's father, a longtime Newport County supporter, ever asked him to get involved with NCAFC and would he be open to the hybrid model of ownership in future?Sporting tribalism and its place in NewportEnjoy the episode and, as always, do drop us any feedback via Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn.Support the show

WE WON A HOME GAME!Following the joy and relief of three points at Rodney Parade against Tranmere, Rhys sat down with Ed, Ian and Martyn to unpack what we can deduce from our opening five games. We also take advantage of Martyn's massive football brain by having a 'deep dive' into the tactical approach taken by Rowberry this season and examine what's worked and what hasn't.Elsewhere, Ian grumbles about his four-decade-long dislike of Portsmouth, Ed eats humble pie, and Martyn explains "4-box-2" for dummies. This is a good listen, enjoy.As always, you can contact us via Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn with any suggestions for topics to discuss or questions for the panel. We'll be back next weekend with an audio diary of Ian Street on the Northern Beat, and some thoughts on the Pompey game in the League Cup.Music: Virgo by Sean T.Support the show

Pfft, well that was a bit rubbish, wasn't it?In an exclusive* audio diary, Ed reports on Flynn's return, with input as well from special guest Simon. Like James Rowberry, they muse on how Walsall managed to escape Rodney Parade with all three points despite not mustering a single chance on goal. And in the second half of the pod, we hear from the Oak Road Hatter about how strong a side they might field in Tuesday's game in the Type 2 Diabetes Cup.(* no-one else wanted it)As always, get in touch on Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn with any feedback or questions.Music: Virgo by Sean T.Support the show

The first of two Cardiff Rugby Life Podcasts this week focuses entirely on Cardiff Blues, after John Mulvihill's men achieved the two wins from the first two games that they were after. A 29-7 win over Connacht at Rodney Parade built on everything that was good in the win over Zebre and added some attacking flair, but it's important not to get too ahead of ourselves! Over the next few weeks the international window will shape how the Pro14 season will play out and I've looked at the squad players who Cardiff Blues will rely on, as well as previewing this Monday night's trip to Ulster.

A packed podcast this week with plenty of on and off field action and news to cover! On the field there was an excellent win against Zebre last week to kick off the 2020/21 Guinness Pro14 season, leading into a huge game against Connacht at Rodney Parade on Saturday. Then off the field there is injury news, a Wales squad announcement and a Cardiff Blues Q&A with big news for the Arms Park and the branding of the club.

Watford’s League Cup adventure may be over, but From the Rookery End goes on! Jon, Mike and Colin convened shortly after the final whistle at Rodney Parade to look back at a disappointing evening in Wales, and looking forward to what promises to be an altogether different experience when some old friends ride into town on Saturday.   The boys discuss the worrying trend of first half damp squibs, try to work out why Glenn Murray is struggling and talk about where Saturday’s big derby game might we win or (shudder) lose.   It’s another early League Cup exit. It’s a long awaited M1 derby. It’s From the Rookery End! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

After six months away it doesn't feel like much has changed as Cardiff Blues go down to a disappointing defeat at the hands of Scarlets as the Guinness Pro14 returns. It raises questions over what Richie Rees and Richard Hodges have been doing over lockdown, and whether John Mulvihill is the right man to lead us long-term. There's a chance to put it right straight away though as this weekend sees us host the Ospreys at Rodney Parade in the last game of the season.

VAR is in the spotlight, as David Mooney is joined by Manchester City fans Ciaran Murray and Richard Burns - and by former Premier League referee Mark Halsey. We review the comeback at Schalke and the FA Cup progress at Newport - plus we look at dodgy pitches following the trip to Rodney Parade. With a cup final on the horizon, we preview the match with Chelsea at Wembley - and we look at the visit from West Ham. Howard Hockin discusses lucky cup draws, while Riyad Mahrez is also in the spotlight after the manager apologised for not giving him much time on the field.

Newport County, we will miss you. A heroic FA Cup effort against Man City at Rodney Parade ended as it was always going to, but what an effort! It was a cagey weekend in the cup but Millwall gave it the love it deserves, Swansea’s Dan James impressed with his superhuman pace and Ashley Cole returned with a bang (goal).Elsewhere Portsmouth embarrass themselves, we envision a Mike Dean testimonial and there’s a plea for information about a man who was once the future of law enforcement in Hartlepool.

This week's podcast goes in-depth on a scrappy win at home to Sale Sharks, and ponders on whether Cardiff Blues are actually the underdogs when heading to Rodney Parade to face the Dragons on Boxing Day. There is also all the regular news from the Arms Park and around the pathway.

Connacht fell to an inspired Dragons side in Rodney Parade and the Craggy Crew were there to witness the slaying of the Westerners. Rob Murphy and William Davies were on commentary duty and they were joined by Linley MacKenzie to cogitate of what went wrong for Kieran Keane's first away match in charge of Connacht.

New coach, new kit, new ownership, new name. Is this going to be a new era for Dragons? Ged and Dan examine whether results will improve under Bernard Jackman. Whether the style of rugby will get better and whether fans from across Gwent will start flocking back to Rodney Parade. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Following yet another tumultuous season in the life of Portsmouth Football Club, Saturday March 29th 2014 could prove to be a turning point. After sacking their manager Richie Barker during the week, Pompey registered a 2-1 victory against Newport County at Rodney Parade, their first win in seven games, which lifted them five points clear of the League Two relegation zone. It was a first win this time around for new caretaker (and Portsmouth academy) boss Andy Awford, but the club are by no means safe yet - especially with relegation rivals Northampton to play in a few weeks time. We get the verdict on Saturday's performance and Barker's departure from Steve Wilson, sports journalist at the Portsmouth... See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
