Re: Newport sack Rowberry
If I had the choice of Newport going to the Championship or the Conference I'd chose the Championship. We get closer away games, bigger home crowds, better atmosphere and it would hopefully improve Welsh football as a whole.
Same if I had the choice between relegating Swansea or Bristol and keeping them in the division. Who would want an extra game against Preston, Blackburn, Rotherham, Wigan, etc over a local derby?

Re: Newport sack Rowberry
I’d prefer fixtures we have a chance of winning. The derbys have been as successful as the cups recently.Originally posted by Canton Kev View PostIf I had the choice of Newport going to the Championship or the Conference I'd chose the Championship.

Re: Newport sack Rowberry
City/county always felt like a bit of a lost derby to me. I know there was that short run in the 80s but that’s about it. Always wondered what that fixture could turn into if it was as consistent at this level as the games against the jacks. You’d have to think it would become ‘the’ derby due to proximity.Originally posted by Canton Kev View PostIf I had the choice of Newport going to the Championship or the Conference I'd chose the Championship.

More of an off field rivalry than an on field I’d say.Originally posted by Kind of Blue View PostCity/county always felt like a bit of a lost derby to me.
