Didn’t they announce 1035 Gas, Rog?

336 FGR in a crowd of 4448.

Thought Mansfield were superb, the best side to come to Newport, though ironically another five minutes against ten men and I think we would have won it. Stupid by O’Toole. Would be very surprised if Mansfield don’t make top three.

Won’t be any issues with the pitch this year. Unrecognisable from past seasons. Big summer investment and Desso surface installed. It was like a carpet at the weekend.

Last season he used Sheehan just in front of the back three playing it out from the back. When fit, Labs was his ball winner in front of Sheehan. First half of season we had Scott Twine alongside on loan, who was exceptional, and latterly Hartigan on loan from Wimbledon. Played decent football...

Absolutely right. To be fair, they treat away fans with total contempt. We had 1224 fans crammed into an open terrace with one tiny entry/exit, no bar, no facilities, no consideration of health and safety. Total hobby club. The minute Vince pulls the plug they are gone. Less than 2600 fans for a...

It really is an awful experience for an away supporter. £18 to stand on a cramped open terrace in the rain with restricted views of the pitch. One entry and exit point for 1200+ supporters, 40-minute queue for refreshments. On the pitch FGR by far and away the best side we’ve played and...

On our County Chat Facebook as ‘official away attendance’. No idea if true, but with eight coaches probably not far off the mark.

We had 453 at Scunthorpe.

Don’t really know. He hardly played. Thought he may get a chance when James Rowberry took over but he didn’t make match day squads.

Spot on. Plus he had a tendency to give the ball away in dangerous areas.

Being honest, it’s not really a local rivalry, as Wrexham is at a different end of the country and a few hours drive away. I know there are only a few Welsh teams playing in English pyramid but we wouldn’t concern ourselves with Wrexham (and vice versa) anymore than you would with Rochdale or...

Mad John’s called it right shoddy. Thames came in for Merthyr in 1930, Mansfield for us in 1931 and then us back for Thames in 1932.

True! A name etched in Newport footballing history. They replaced us for a season in the early 1930s due to financial irregularities. I wouldn’t be averse to a Halifax return. Infinitely preferable to Wrexham!

Rochdale: Coleman, O'Keeffe, White, Taylor, O'Connell (captain), Dooley, Beesley, Newby, Grant, Dorsett, Kelly. Substitutes: Lynch, McNulty, Morley, Broadbent, Done, Odoh, Andrews. Yellow: Coleman, Grant Goals: Beesley (2, one penalty) County: Day, Clarke, Dolan (captain, Cain 59), Demetriou...

Announced over the tannoy at the match and in the South Wales Argus match report.

344 County at Rochdale

No idea where that’s come from, especially after the Cup runs of recent seasons.

Thought I heard 7515.

Mate, you’re entitled to your opinion. Enjoy your victory of course but I didn’t feel your comments reflected today’s game. As for ‘playing the ref’ it certainly didn’t work at Wembley a few months ago! Anyway, all the best for the season - see you at Newport where we will play like Brazil on...
