Newport County Documentary

[splott parker]

Just finished on BBC2, fair play what a story. The late David Hando, what a man, never gave up, never gave in, outstanding football icon in my opinion.

Was talking to one of my neighbors last year about him, when I was back.
He apparently left his brain and body to science after he died.

Sludge offered the same but there's too much of one and not enough of the other.

Newport is very much like Middlesborough in respect of Newcastle and Sunderland

In the shadow of Cardiff and Bristol but very independent , raw at the heel and don't poke it in the eye or you will get a slap

I don’t know about that sludge they’ve always had a few nutters, more so than Swansea but they ain’t no boro who are by far the handiest fans up that way. Its a weird old place Newport, it’s like it doesn’t really exist, just sitting there completely in our shadow, surely more PL glory fans than any other town in the uk.

A City of 160,000 just 10 miles away yet apart from visiting on business [rarely], and watching City play them, I've never had any desire to go there. It's like it doesn't exist, just drive past on the M4..

The problem County have is the lost generations of fans when they were playing in the farmers fields

It’s not really, not at all…..it’s just grim. It’s the city that doesn’t exist
