I live in Newport and I have been to Rodney Parade many times although never to watch football. It is a great little stadium and well above what is required for Conference standards.

In fairness to Newport County it was a brilliant move for them, although ultimately it did cost them automatic promotion with all the postponements over the winter due to the pitch being cut up by the Rugby.

I can see Grimsby winning the P/O semi easily but will be beaten by Wrexham in the final.

Yep. Quite an intimididating little place for away teams when it wants to be. Fans on terraces yard from the pitch.
Over 4000 sold already, imagine it'll be close to 7000 sell out.

The more the merrier. Only 2,000 tickets left so expecting a 7,000 sell out.

Booked on a coach to Grimsby tomorrow with an early start. I can feel a messy one coming on. :mrgreen:

Is it wrong to want Newport to go up over Wrexham? I'd love a cup tie away at County :malky:

Can't wait for it. First experience of the play-offs for us. Could be yet another day out at Wembley for a Welsh club or clubs.
