Anyone else heading to Newport to see their big game tomorrow?
I'm going.
Looking forward to standing at a game for the first time in years.
My Cewnty mate has sorted the tickets & I think we are in the Hazell Stand. I would much prefer to be on the terrace but looking forward to it all the sameQuote:

Really hope they can do the job.
Always had a soft spot having played Welsh League for them for a couple of seasons in the sixties.
Let's hope they go out of the league for good. Hartlepool to stay up please
I'm in the Budgie StandQuote:

Think maybe Bob Wilson and one or two others that regularly read this board were there that night too?
When I was a kid (in the seventies) I used to go and watch County at home when City were away and all I can remember is walking past some prefabricated bugalows and arriving at a ground which seems to be surrounded by corrugated iron. And the corners of the pitch were worn away by the speedway. Some of the corner-takers had problems placing the ball as a result.
Yep, the speedway was good in the day. Last time I was there it was the bog promotion match 1984?. We lost 1-0 but I came away happy knowing we were the better side. We were promoted that year, Cwnty weren't.Quote:

In terms of welsh football I've always preferred to see Wrexham do well over Newport.
I was going to just say about TNS but only now realised their stadium is in England. Never knew that
I don't hold any malice towards any Welsh clubs, Swansea included.Quote:

They should feck off and leave the Welsh league to proper Welsh teams and we might see Barry Town United back in Europe.Quote:

Always had a soft spot for them and the old Somerton Park was a dump of epic proportions but enjoyed watching games there whenever my father was going there.
Hope they retain their league status ,as if they went down I fear that would be it for them.
Let's just hope Hartlepool do the business and send the Cewny Gypos dewn for good
