A very tough game for the U’s. Up to now we have seemed to struggle in windy conditions and with a storm approaching it not looking good on match day. However County’s league 2’s leading goal scorer will be missing due to COVID. So for us, not all bad news.

Fingers crossed the worst of the weather has moved away by the time the game starts. Let’s look at it as a good opportunity to put the cup disappointment to one side. Seem to have the numbers to freshen up in wide and forward areas as necessary. Not sure if Smith, Rowe and Kizzi will come into the equation.
This group don’t like losing, I’m sure we’ll be battling hard as ever to pick up a positive result. 3 points in this game would certainly bode well!
An interesting night at the top of the league, Harrogate vs Forest Green, Swindon go to Orient, Vale away at Bristol Rovers and Exeter face Northampton.

The worst of the rain will have passed by kick-off, but it is forecast to be very windy! Just a reminder to anyone going that, under Welsh government legislation, to gain admission you may need to show either an NHS Covid pass or proof of a negative Covid test taken within the previous 48 hours. |

40mph is a pretty decent lick. Football will be bordering on farcical if at that level. Presume a strong chance the Severn Bridge will be closed.

That is a very good point.What they do is if the new bridge is closed due to weather then they use the old bridge. Saying that if weather is really bad then they will close that as well.
Look out for information on the media.

Further to last post.
Both bridges are open.
But look out on the media.

Right, here's my recommended pub. It's the Olde Murenger House (52 High St NP20 1GA), a half-timbered building dating from the 16th century and lovingly restored by ultra-traditional Yorkshire brewers Samuel Smith. The interior features wooden beams and panelling and high-backed settles. Absolutely no music or TVs! Sam Smiths beer is good value, and meals are served from 5.30pm.
In case anyone was wondering, a murenger in medieval times was an official who collected taxes for upkeep of the town walls.
For any who prefer something more contemporary (and noisy!), there's a Tiny Rebel bar just along the street.
Newport's Rodney Parade ground is a 10-15 minute walk away, on the other side of the River Usk.

Add a 0 to Ajiboye transfer fee. 2 special goals. Right up against it 2-0 up but down to 10. Terrible red card given by ref on Eastmond. Could be a long 2nd half. Think Newport have looked good, very sharp and the better side for the majority but not taken their chances. More injury trouble as Davis off and Goodliffe hobbling. Currently back 4 is Enzio, Goodliffe, Bugiel, Wyatt 👀
