Next match: Pre-season. Saturday, July 11th | FC Midtjylland (H) @ Cardiff City Stadium, 12:30pm -
All pre-season fixtures
They may dislike us but I found myself wanting them to win.
Imagine in 10 years or so we are both in say the championship, could finally have a proper local rivalry.
Economically, success for them may also boost the cardiff area, some big clubs in league 1, if fans are allowed to travel they may stay here, spend money in the area etc. Every little helps at the moment. Also of course for Newport which would notice any benefit far more.
Any thread titled Newport County must contain at least one post stating their fans hate us and at least one post calling their club irrelevant.
It should never be said that maybe because we have some fans who see them as irrelevant that they have some fans who hate us.
I have no issue with their fans disliking Cardiff, it makes perfect sense, the bigger city down the road, more successful etc. I just find the one sided nature of the "rivalry" quite funny considering there's a lot of Cardiff fans who want to see Newport do well

It may have something to do with empathy for Newport and their fans going into administration.
No fan of football likes to see any team fold at any level of the game, particularly if they are an old well established club.
I, and I'd imagine many on here, went to the Cardiff City v Man United fundraiser for them back in 80 something in the hope they could survive.
Imagine being a fan of theirs in those times.
I personally hope they get to the P/O final and win it.
Then if we end up in the same division, let the rivalry commence.
Giving it a rugby slant, Wales 'hate' their big brothers next door but I don't know of many England fans who reciprocate this hatred. On the contrary, by and large England fans want Wales to do well, unless they're player against them if course.
