This is quality. We need to change our philosophy for Newport more than any other game this season?

If it's open season on crazy ideas and our players can't match up to Newport and the free transfer market is still open, I'd suggest this

Burridge
Edghill
Morrison
Dunne
Thatcher
De Jong
Horlock
Pollock
Crooks
Bellamy
Dickov

Yeah we could give Vinny's testimonial opponents a run out ;)
 
Additional seating is being added for the tie, and more than 8,000 tickets will be available for sale to home fans. All supporters who qualify for priority sales as Season Ticket Holders, Trust Members and Community Shareholders, Volunteers and Clwb Spytty members will be catered for on Friday and Saturday.

The above is from the Newport website which suggests like spurs did we will get 1600.
Prices in their ends are no more than £30 so we won't pay anymore than that.

Happy days, was in the Platt Lane for that one. Well, not happy losing 1-5 to WHam obviously, Greaves always scored on his debut for a new club and Ronnie Boyce's volley from 50 yards was memorable for all the wrong reasons.

Newport's pitch the other night was a bowling green compared to that. Also they were playing decent passing football on it rather than hoofing it.

Hi all,

Newport fan in peace!

We’re all looking forward to this one. We’ve had a great run of results in the FA cup over the last couple of years having beaten Leeds, Middlesborough and Leicester at Rodney Parade whilst taking Spurs to a replay at Wembley. I believe we have lost only one of our last 7 games to teams in the top two divisions at Rodney Parade, a 2-1 loss to Blackburn back in 2016.

Remains to be said about the pitch, it looked pretty cut up at the end of Middlesborough but obviously does not help that we have two rugby teams playing on it. A quick look of fixtures suggests neither Newport RFC or Gwent Dragons will be playing at Rodney Parade before our eagly anticipated game.

In terms of away tickets it will depend on whether the temporary stand is erected, it was against Spurs and predict it probably will be against City. Spurs were given an away allocation of 1,660. Without the inclusion of the temporary stand the away allocation will be around 1,100.

I’m certainly looking forward to this one, although I predict that you guys will be too strong anything is possible and depending on the weather and state of the pitch beforehand may play into our hands. Many of the teams we have played over the last couple of years have made the same mistake and chosen to play their “fringe” players against us and have been turned over. If this is the case I fancy ourselves to win, but if Pep choses a regular starting 11 I believe you will be too strong.

Hi Newport, great to have you on here and we are really looking forward to this tie, despite what you may read on here. Yes the pitch may be a factor but so what, it will be a great cup tie. I am glad there are extra away tickets, I may get one now and you will obviously sell out. Keep looking in and posting updates as no doubt there will be questions, best pub etc.
 
Time is very short, surely the ticket details will be released this afternoon.

Anyone know anything?
