Nice to see the recovery is still on for a side that fell so low .
They went out of business , reformed as Newport A.F.C, forced to enter the Hellenic Football League.
Climbed up all those leagues .
Just imagine being a fan though that , I do know a few who took that ride .

F’ck em
As it's the international window: it is nice to see them and the Jacks do well, especially as they're both doing it with Welsh managers and, I hate to say it, more Welsh players in the first team than ourselves.
However, every single thread mentioning Newport County starts with the OP happy to see them do well and unravels as different posters argue whether we can wish them well considering Jimmy down the pub, Cewnty fan, says he hates Cardiff. I wonder if this will be any different?
I've worked in Newport they hate us more than the gypos
Horrible kents.
A friend of mine who's seen County play a couple of times this season says he has enjoyed their games more than ours - good luck to them.
Got to be honest worked in Newport and they really don't like us. Despite that I still want to see them do well.
Good for you.
I don’t want to see any of them do well. **** the lot of them.
Do you think Arsenal want Tottenham to do well because they are North London neighbours?
Or Man City and United willing each other on against other teams from outside their City?
I’m sure Newcastle will be wishing Sunderland get promoted just for the good of North East football too.
He's comparing some of the biggest historical football rivalries in Britain with Cardiff and Newport.
Newport County have finished above Cardiff City in the league pyramid on just five occasions in their entire history! The last time it happened was 1987! Hitler was in power on two of those occasions!
Not exactly the same situation, is it? It's like comparing Manchester City with Bury.
The extent of the rivalry is irrelevant , on the whole Newport county fans hate us and most Cardiff fans I know can't stand the snotty little oiks
After Pompey beat us at Wembley their main message board was directing fans to a Portsmouth merchandise website
Can you imagine moggie doing that ?
Rivalry is rivalry , to deny it exists is plain potty
Told you.
Might be playing them next season.
