I've never gotten the hatred between the fans as some fans have but that could be before my time. Been to see them a few times when it's internationals or Cardiff aren't playing and there fans are alright.
Good luck to them this season

Yes we had massive rivalry in the 70's/80's/90's , but now most of us have shook hands and actually drink together

850 fans away for a club that is in Div 4 and gets 2,500-3,500 at home,I think its quite good
Crowd was 2,856, incl 850 County fans.

I was there and sent Annis a message. My estimate was 650 with 10 mins till kick off. Official figures were put on tannoy midway through 2nd half.
On the pitch fgr are really struggling. County are a big physical team who play to their strengths. Totally controlled game from start to finish. Wish them all the best for rest of season.

Still have. Parts of Newport like Pill, Alway, Lliswerry and Bettws are full of loons. The city centre is rather lively at night as well!
