Good Evening

Forgive me for being a bit slow, but I just see a long list of names.. what does it mean?

Have all these people joined a group related to Newport County? Have they all said they can help?

Have you directly contacted all these people?

It’s all a bit beyond me to understand what is the significance of this list of people, what does it mean to average joe supporters?

I appreciate your commitment to a brighter future for the club but it often just mystifies me.

Hello Mr Jones,
I hope you have the best interests of Newport County at heart.
However as Phil says you have just listed a pile of names off LinkedIn and talk of how successful you are and bath bombs.
Which quite honestly means very little.
You have been on about your idea to raise funds and NDA’s but as yet you have put no meat in the bones.
Perhaps it would be nice if you could elucidate a little bit of your idea without going into too much detail.

Having joined a Linkedin Group called 'Friends of Newport County', which declares it is a group set up to support Newport County, and their names are not fully revealed, I'd suggest they are open to helping move the club forward in some way.

I tend to agree but more pertinently there are many more of us on that site that he could have added to the list - but to what end? In any case, it’s not only professional people like me who may or may not be useful to football clubs, I’m sure a few tradesmen might be even more useful.

Absolutely, please join the group and add the skills and knowledge pool. Can people for once have a positive reaction to potential

Which quite honestly means very little. ( How many times do I have to say i, 'it has nothing to do with bathbombs, it is about supply of raw materials to the trade)

You have been on about your idea to raise funds and NDA’s but as yet you have put no meat in the bones.
Perhaps it would be nice if you could elucidate a little bit of your idea without going into too much detail.
A member of the board has advised me that they have sent me an NDA, which I have not received. Unfortunately, I had major issues with my email provider over the last few days (60% of our annual sales occur in Oct-November quarter), resulting in the eventual deletion and reinstallation of outlook, which took over 8 hours of downtime.

Please read the 47 Recommendations received ( You'll need to scroll down, undoubtedly some of you will know some of the recommenders!) and I hope you'll accept I can offer help, co-ordination skills to the club. We have received another member of the group overnight.
