Newport Thread.
 

By all accounts this will be very difficult, crap pitch,crap weather forecast, I reckon the 3 pts will be yon, if we have 11 battlers on the pitch, gonna be one hell of a fight,

Re: Newport Thread.
 

Report from the Northampton game yesterday suggest that Newport, as with Stanley at Sixfields, were very unlucky to end up losing 1-0.
No easy games in League 2, but I expect the home team will be used to playing on a ploughed beach and Stanley's defence will have to withstand wind-assisted aerial bombardments. Just like they did at Oxford:)

Re: Newport Thread.
 

Just had a peek on Newport's forum, some posters on there suggesting game could be in doubt due to 2 rugby games being played this weekend on what they call an already fragile pitch, add in to this the weather that's forecast over next couple of days - hope it's not called off, looking forward to the trip & wouldn't fancy doing it midweek

Re: Newport Thread.
 

Just read pretty much the same, although one poster feels that the pitch could get a load of sand dumped on it and then rolled in. If the team go down there today, practice on the nearest beach to get a feel of the pitch. Wonder what Somerset would make of this?

Re: Newport Thread.
 

After fridays exertions i would rest the team and play Mooney in goals,Liam and Bucko fullbacks,Joe and Dean centre backs,Crooksey and Proc centre mid,
New lad on left wing,Bocco on right wing with Josh tucked in behind Terry.
Only joking of course,but you dont realise what strength in depth we have until you study it.
Question,who would win if they played each other !!!!

Re: Newport Thread.
 

Stanley :D

:) :) :)

Re: Newport Thread.
 

quality reply Joe !!,be a good game tho

Re: Newport Thread.
 

Rugby from newport on s4c now. Parts of the midfield look unplayable with massive potholes in mud and sand. Stanley might do better stopping the coach next to a ploughed field and training there.

Re: Newport Thread.
 

have we ever beaten Newport County away?

Re: Newport Thread.
 

Yeh Tomorrow.;)

Re: Newport Thread.
 

No, although we got a draw there last season:
Accrington Stanley football club: record v Newport County

Re: Newport Thread.
 

i recall Beatties first game away at newport, sad to say clever fans like me where hounded on this forum for having the insight to predict the negative, boring football disaster than james beatties management regime turned into.

Re: Newport Thread.
 

You deserved more and if it wasn't for a wonder goal by loanee Joe Pigott you would've done.

That's all he ever done for us after the fans paid for his services.
Think he's on loan at that horrible club in Bedfordshire now. I hope you make the play-offs and if they make it you beat them.

They are so deluded they honestly think they are a championship team (well the majority of them).

Re: Newport Thread.
 

And why bring this up now? Anyone'd think you're missing having summat to whinge about . . . . .:confused:

Re: Newport Thread.
 

Is he Somerset in disguise?:rolleyes:
