Newport have only themselves to blame

Although it's sad to see a fellow Welsh club in dire straights Newport have brought it all on themselves,my Cwnty mate tells me that Lucky Les was well and truly shafted,they took him for all he was worth,they had themselves a golden opportunity to embrace a novice who was talked into watching a few matches then become owner/benefactor,but no, they saw fit to screw him over and he buggered off as soon as he saw what was going on,one fan recently said "we didn't ask him to put his money in"well not even the Cwnty public would put their money in,there was a game on a Friday evening at home and if Cwnty had won then they would have gone top of Lg 2 if only for 24 hours,only 3200 turned up !!!!!!
These are the same people who were saying during our troubles with OGS that there were City fans defecting to mud stadium in their droves,Yeah,in ya dreams.They even had the gall to critisise City for not lending them players,who in their right mind would want to go there even if only on loan.
I feel for Wrexham,if they'd have gone up they would be challenging top half of Lg 1 by now.
They blamed City the last time they went under,this time there is no-one but themselves to blame,goodnight farewell good ridence

I work with a few Cewnty fans and in all fairness I've never heard a single one of them say they thought we loved it when they went bust in 89, though I have seen comments on the Cewnty forum, saying we loved it in 89. I was a City regular back then and I have no recollection of us taking the piss at all!
Most of their fans hate us with a passion though, so it's hard to feel sympathy for them. From the outside looking in, it seems Cewnty are a shambles from top to bottom!

"afew" is all they got. Dreadful support when you consider half a million people live in Gwent.our history isn't much to shout about but compared to them we are world beaters.

Thats because most support the City

Very true, County fans are mainly the diehards from Ringland,Pill and near the town center, most follow City, Liverpool,etc

I've lived in Newport for past month or so. I've seen no more than 2 people wearing county tops. At my middle boys school he says most kids support Liverpool or united with a few Ccfc and county fans. The diehards do hate us with a passion. The couple that I've met hate us but they also hate the glory hunters.

f**k 'em.

Newport's a shithole.

Dropping a bomb on the dump would be a waste of a bomb.

Gwent does not support the Cwnty though, very few North of Risca or Malpas follow them. The Blackwood area for instance is a City area and always has been. I would like them to stay up personally, I certainly don't class them as a rival. I would say the valleys of Gwent would show more of an affinity to Merthyr than the exiles, that's down I feel to Newport not being a welcoming place to those within the valleys. They will never get the support from the Valleys as we just don't feel attached to them. Bloody hell even the Ebbw railway turns right at the M4 to Cardiff!

Blackwood is blue

Crumlin is Blue, Can even buy city clothing from the rugby club, and bizarrely the exactly same gear with all-blacks badges sewn on

Not strictly true. Kewnty had two choices when looking for investment. They had a consortium of business people led by Matt Southall (Acorn Recruitment), a die hard fan who'd already seriously invested over the years and Les the unemployed lorry driver and his lucky millions. They went for the latter. I always thought that was a fatal mistake because for all his money he knew how to drive lorries but eff all about business or running a football club, whereas the consortium knew both (probably couldn't drive a lorry between them though). They 100% certainly didn't fleece him. In fact he never dipped into his capital. He won £45.5m and apparently put in maybe £2m so not fleeced in anyway. Plus he only gave them money from his interest. Les had his 5 minutes of fame when they got back in the league but things changed when he had to give his Mrs 50% of his winnings as a divorce settlement. He was still very rich but got bored with football and this country and buggered off to a tax haven in West Indies. What he did was sold his shares to the supporters trust and walked away. In fact Kewnty are still paying him back to the tune of £6K per month. Fleeced? I don't think so...
