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.</p><p><br></p><p>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.</p><p><br></p><p>We'll be back with more summer content over the coming weeks, likely dropping a new episode every fortnight (roughly).

As usual, our theme tune is the original 1973 recording of <em>Come On The County</em> - and we are brought to you in association with our friends at the <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/RiversideXWSF\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Riverside Sports Bar</a>.</p><p><br></p><p>Until next time, look after yourselves and each other, and above all Keep It County.</p>","author_name":"1912 Exiles"}
