Me + 3.

where abouts you staying? Was looking to make a weekend of myself but it didn't happen.

I’ve always thought Nouble was a tosser. He was lazy with a massive chip on his shoulder (God knows why).

I hope it gives our players extra incentive, especially those who were here when he was. Although off the top of my head I’m not sure who would have been, maybe Burge, Willis and the youngsters (who would have been in the academy at the time).

Haynes set him up for the goal against Gillingham, apart from the others you have mentioned I am not sure which players were here at that time

You dodged a bullet there.

The town is a dump.

I will be turning up, watching us collect three points then straight back home.

was thinking of the coast rather than the town itself mate! I'm sure ESB1 isn't actually in Newport for the weekend though I await his confirmation!

 

[Liquid Gold]

Easiest game for me to get to. I'm going to take advantage.

You are right, we are not staying in Newport.

We're in the forest somewhere near Coleford for the weekend. Feel free to give me a shout tomorrow if you want a pint

We all know what you two will be talking about :emoji_smiley:

As for the town centre it’s actually alright. It’s a 5-10 minute walk across the bridge from the ground and you are greeted by all major shops and restaurants. Recently Upgraded it looks to me and looks very similar to our cathedral lanes.

Haven't looked forward to a game so much in ages. It's like Christmas eve

I desperately want us to bag all 3 points, but there is just a glimmer of hope Newport could make a late surge towards the playoffs.

They are excellent at home this season, only losing 3 times.

0-2. Disappointing and lethargic performance.

Be no-one happier than me if that proves not to be the case.

It's going to be scrappy, still want somebody to put a crunching tackle in on Pipe. Maybe JCH can give him a bit.

Has there been a game in the last 20 years you didn't want to start with us snapping someone?

 

[stevefloyd]

I'm only taking two one is a girl but the other is a boxer. I reckon we could take you.

You allowed to take dogs then?

I don't think, even testimonials.

Never a foul. Contact sport referee

I'm glad you highlighted that one.

I thought if I don't highlight you would try to be naughty

Hate that expression. Usually comes from someone who's never played football

I don't think Newport have any chance of the playoffs. That said, the have a good home record and we haven't won 3 games on the bounce all season iirc. All set up for a massive disappointment. Hate to be negative, but this is the sort of crunch game we rarely win. Can't see beyond a defeat, but so hope I'm wrong.

 

[Ricketts]

Excited about this one. For some reason I have a feeling that we have stopped delivering lethagic performances.

3 points at Newport will again give me hope.

Dont forget how poor they were at the Ricoh. Just try not to get dragged down to therir level.

JCH is key.

 

[stevefloyd]

I am working today but fair play to all who are going to support the lads... safe travels all

Newport’s season, in a sense is ‘over’, safe from the drop, but realistically out of the playoff hunt. Here’s some mixed news for us going into the game:

— Newport have won once in their last 10 games
— however, they haven’t lost to anyone in the top 7 at home, including Spurs.
— they’ve only lost 3 home games all season

This kind of fixture is a real test of how far we’ve come against teams that will want to stifle us from the get go.

2-0, McNulty and JCH to score.

I don't think they have either, but if they were to win today and Monday they may feel they have just a glimmer of a chance.

 

[clint van damme]

my mate has a spare under 21 ticket if anyone interested

With Pipe playing I would say this is not a game for Kyel Reid.

Stick with Shipley on the left.

 

[Otis]

Okay.

Let me see if I can drink the blood of 20 virgins by 10.15 am.

 

[Sick Boy]

Wish I was going today, even if we lose it'd be worth it to see @Earlsdon_Skyblue1 and @clint van damme kicking off

I'm just following him!

He's become a bad influence on us...

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Stupidly got a bit overexcited and went out last night.

The missus is making me a nice breakfast then we'll be hitting the road for round two!

I've got a good feeling about today...
