BREAKING: 'APPALLING' NEWPOT COUNTY STAFF ABUSE

'Appalling abuse and threatening behaviour’ forces League Two Newport to close ticket office ahead of Man United FA Cup clash
By Sam May

Newport County have confirmed they have shut their ticket office ahead of their FA Cup fourth round clash with Manchester United.

The Welsh club have revealed the reasoning for the closure on Monday is due to 'appalling abuse and threatening behaviour'.

Support staff had been allegedly subject to abuse during the priority purchase period on Thursday.

Newport have since stated tickets can be purchased online but from 10am onwards tomorrow.

The club has reiterated it has a zero-tolerance policy which may result in stadium bans or legal action.

The 'glory hunters' are out in force...

Sad; just sad...!

The things people do just to see a premier league side. Absolutely appalling, no excuse for threatening behaviour.

Some people need to grow up, honestly.

Simple way to solve this.

Anyone who has abused staff should have their phone number blacklisted from the ticket office and they refuse to sell tickets to them for any game.

I agree gents. Appalling

Very shitty behaviour
The saddest part, is that it would probably have been adults, who should know better

Unfortunately, many of them will be those "extra fans" that came to our matches against Swansea and Leeds.

What is wrong with people?

I work with newport das and this happened Friday, it was the newport fans doing this because the staff who are volunteers wre getting threatened some guys who wanted more than they were allowed the sale to the general public didn't go on sale tol monday

Never understood supporting an English premier side when you live in cardiff, Swansea Newport etc. These big prem teams whose fans would call us welsh a bunch of sheep sh**ers without question. (Just like we get everyweek as cardiff fans).

Possible ST holders looking to buy more to sell at a profit maybe?
