It must be a long while since County can lay claim to a bigger attendance than City on the same weekend.

Hardly surprising, given the fixtures.Quote:

To be fair they are playing the mighty Leeds
To be fair there was 6000 leeds fans thereQuote:

30 years almost since we last played them in anything meaningful is it? On our way to promotion as they were falling out of the league if I recall. About 6000 at ninian with about 400 from Newport, shocking support as ever from them.
I was surprised how much space there was in the home end tbh.
I know they obviously have an official capacity but it was n`t packed to rafters.
That's a good question, its a weird kind of one-way rivalry so it would test the feeling between the clubsQuote:

A massive game for Newport, hardly a crowd puller for City fans. I wouldn't even class them as local rivals.Quote:

We played them in the FAW cup at Ninian Park around 10 years ago and they had more fans there than us.
That jacks game was a disgrace kicking off at that time when I got down to the stadium I met loads of the lads that had been drinking since 05:30 am:hehe: and some never stopped from the night beforeQuote:

Would prefer to play them at their place. At least we’d fill the away end.
