Hey fellas.
I’m on day 5 of my tour with students. This is the view from my hotel room. One of a piss poor under serving of L2 membership the Newport fc grounds. Just pathetic. I would have guessed there would be more standards for a club to be in the league. Guess not.
Coming across the bridge from England the wind tried to blow our bus over almost as if the gods were trying to stop us from arriving in this hell hole. 😄
Upon arrival our students were greeted with random incoherent words from the local scurvy characters. Thought maybe I would have to beat down my first Welshman 🤣
I will admit the hotel is nice but not the neighborhood.
Cheers
Garry.

Be thankful it wasn’t the old Somerton park which had piles of coal stacked up behind it  |

Did nobody tell you not to go to Wales? |

Plenty of areas in Wales alright, Newport might struggle to crack the top 1000.

From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.
