Newport last night...

I went down to watch last night with some County mates and whilst I enjoyed watching them finally get over a hurdle on hopeful way back to league football, it actually got me thinking about all the things I like and miss in football...

Players actually wearing 1-11,

Players actually playing with some passion for their team and fans,

Gritty football and footballers,

£2 for a half litre bottle of Carling,

Fans actually getting behind their team instead of constantly moaning or shouting abuse,

Home and away fans without segregation,

Being made welcome even though I was known as 'The one from Cardiff!!',

Only paying £8 to watch a football match,

Being able to walk the whole way around a football ground,

and the main one...being able to stand!

Good luck to them next season!

Thats what I call real Football

good retro football!

I went last night and it was quite eery that with 5 minutes left,about 1500 people left ther positions,hopped over the fence and stood on the touchline with play continuing.Then a good,old fashioned pitch invasion.

It can only be good for Wesh football whether you like them or not.

I like Newport County. I know a good few people there, have had a great game with them on Football Manager, I like Dean Holdsworth and they're like our cheeky little brother. They'll irritate the f**k out of us but when all is said and done they're a lot like us and I want them to do well.

Yeh I did have a chuckle to myself watching that (I was behind the goals the 'nets' end) and seeing them all lining up along the touchline with all of 3 stewards stopping them must of the made the ref blow up a little earlier!!!

Thats a sore subject for me, once got them promoted back into the league and was replaced in pre-season with a few years still on my contract ! Bastards!

I had the last laugh...went as Lincoln and beat them twice in the league and got promoted whilst taking their best striker with me!
