By all accounts this will be very difficult, crap pitch,crap weather forecast, I reckon the 3 pts will be yon, if we have 11 battlers on the pitch, gonna be one hell of a fight,
 
Report from the Northampton game yesterday suggest that Newport, as with Stanley at Sixfields, were very unlucky to end up losing 1-0.
No easy games in League 2, but I expect the home team will be used to playing on a ploughed beach and Stanley's defence will have to withstand wind-assisted aerial bombardments. Just like they did at Oxford:)
 
Just had a peek on Newport's forum, some posters on there suggesting game could be in doubt due to 2 rugby games being played this weekend on what they call an already fragile pitch, add in to this the weather that's forecast over next couple of days - hope it's not called off, looking forward to the trip & wouldn't fancy doing it midweek

Just read pretty much the same, although one poster feels that the pitch could get a load of sand dumped on it and then rolled in. If the team go down there today, practice on the nearest beach to get a feel of the pitch. Wonder what Somerset would make of this?
 
After fridays exertions i would rest the team and play Mooney in goals,Liam and Bucko fullbacks,Joe and Dean centre backs,Crooksey and Proc centre mid,
New lad on left wing,Bocco on right wing with Josh tucked in behind Terry.
Only joking of course,but you dont realise what strength in depth we have until you study it.
Question,who would win if they played each other !!!!
 
Rugby from newport on s4c now. Parts of the midfield look unplayable with massive potholes in mud and sand. Stanley might do better stopping the coach next to a ploughed field and training there.
 
i recall Beatties first game away at newport, sad to say clever fans like me where hounded on this forum for having the insight to predict the negative, boring football disaster than james beatties management regime turned into.
 

You deserved more and if it wasn't for a wonder goal by loanee Joe Pigott you would've done.

That's all he ever done for us after the fans paid for his services.
Think he's on loan at that horrible club in Bedfordshire now. I hope you make the play-offs and if they make it you beat them.

They are so deluded they honestly think they are a championship team (well the majority of them).

And why bring this up now? Anyone'd think you're missing having summat to whinge about . . . . .:confused:
 
if we did win today it probably be our best away achievement of the season. all the signs are against us. a wet heavily sanded bog of a pitch which by the looks of it makes bloomfield road look like Wembley to stop us playing football. a big in your face opposition and another kettle to referee it. sabastian stockbridge.
 
A bit more optimism on the NCFC fans' web site about the game being on, but not about the state of the pitch.
Scene at 08:30am, if this works.
