I AM NOT A FAN OF THERES BUT YOU HAVE TO ADMIT

It can Be done and THEY DESERVE A LOT OF RESPECT and CREDIT :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Newport County were Dead and Buried and their Fans started a NEW Football Team AFC Newport.
They started from the Very Bottom of the Leagues, where Teams get 30 Fans watching them.

They are now within Touching Distance of the 5th League, I call Conference .
No Debts now, will make a Profit This Season, get Crowds of 1,400 -2,500 and The Trust own 26% of The Club.

Welsh football needs as many clubs playing as high a standard as possible.Whether you hate Newport or Swansea,that`s fine,but we still need them. :ayatollah:

my mate is a newport nut, and they regulaly take 300/500+ to away games, that is amazing support for the league they are in.

and yes county hate us with a passion, im from newport i get shit all the time, but every one iv spoken to dont want us to go down the pan, because they have been through it and now how heart breaking it is!

they will cruise to promotion and have the money to do well next year.

It shows their commitment that when they started up they had to play in Moreton- on -Marsh and the fans went up there for the home games.If they did get League football they`d need a new ground,mind, as they play in an athletics stadium with a pitch in the middle.

I've always had time for Newport. I've got a few friends there and their shops saved my Christmas present buying! I've also managed them a lot on Football Manager. Ok, so maybe considering them as Cardiff C (behind Cardiff B aka Merthyr Tydfil) is a bit patronising but I still want them to do well!
