We were arch rivals in the 70’s / 80’s but for me they are our neighbours and I now have many good friends, we all move in and times change

Not really rivals we only played them 5 times in the entire 70s all in the welsh cup in the 80s there were a few league games and welsh then they went bust.

I supported City throughout the 80s and went to Somerton Park twice. Even then I never got the feeling we were massive rivals, compared to the likes of Swansea and the Wurzels. Though in 83 we were promotion rivals.

Yes they do hate us.Yet if Jimmy Andrews Hadn't organised a fundraiser South Wales 11 v Man U they would have had no club to call Newport afc.
My old man and grandad used to take me to both county and the city.
It as when I was in the schoolboy enclosure when we beat man u 3-0 in the early 60s I became a fully fledged bluebird.
We used to get on the football special in newport and get off at ninian park halt.all free as my old man was a railway worker.
