Up at 04.45 for work on the wednesday Will snooze on the coach on the way home  Generally dont do away midweek but new ground and all that Yeah I thought the same with it being one to tick off - sadly with restricted funds also means I'll be giving it a miss and preferring to do Orient - if that's a preference!!! |

Two of us travelling up from South Devon. Closer than a home game, so would be churlish not to! I assume that tickets can be bought on the gate?  |

Clare Scarth is the lady in the know. We've already sold 400 with tickets available on the day. Pretty good going. https://twitter.com/clarescarth/status/513967750126268416 |

Make that 402! Just purchased Newport tickets for me and the old man. Speaking to Jason in the club shop/ticket office, there are seats left behind the goal, it's just that STFC have sold all of the behind the goal tickets that Newport County sent us. Should be a good turnout, 550-600 ish. Belford for Foderingham, Reeves for Kasim (suspended) and Williams for M.Smith or Obika will be the only changes i reckon. STFC looking to take this competition very seriously again. If Rossi-Branco and Stephens are both unfit though, I'll be feeling less confident with Josh Lelan in the back 3...  ! |

STFC looking to take this competition very seriously again. If Rossi-Branco and Stephens are both unfit though, I'll be feeling less confident with Josh Lelan in the back 3... ! That's good to hear. My ticket numbers behind the goal are Row C Seat 1 and Row C Seat 2... So I guess it'll be a free-for-all to some extent (Or I hope it is for my sake), not that we'll be sitting down at all. My line up is: Belford N. Thompson, Turnbull, Lelan (unless Branco is fit) Byrne, L. Thompson, Luongo (unless his knee is bad), Reeves, B. Smith Obika, Williams I think Cooper may want to rest M. Smith for Saturday, but he'll feature if we're losing in the second half. I wouldn't be surprised if Waldon or any of the other youngsters made an appearance to rest some of the league XI squad. |

I remember a game in the dark Sturrock days of Div 4, when we went to Barnet and had more away fans than home fans...of course we still lost, to a goal by one of the Allen clan. Not sure if he ever scored v anyone else or even made more than a handful of appearances.
Not sure how many Newport get these days, but one of the reasons why they nearly sunk without trace was historically poor gates at Somerton Park...hopefully there'll be more home fans than away.

They are averaging about 2,700 ish this season so far, so a lot lower than they used to get at Somerton Park.

The record cup attendance at Rodney Parade is only 2,849 vs. Portsmouth back in November.

With Yaser out as well, and Gladwin still Injured, looking a bit thin in midfield, wonder If he'll bring lelan in at the back and use Stephens as a holding player. otherwise a formation change looks likely. |

Given that gates in the Paint Pot are generally well down on league games, and supposing they get about 2500 home fans for league games, you'd imagine 1200 or so home fans will turn up. Hopefully they'll be playing a few fringe players too. |

Mind you, we are at the height of the sheep bothering season so bound to impact on the attendance somewhat.
