Last Time Out At Rodney Parade
The last time we were at Rodney Parade, Frank Nouble scored a wonder goal and followed it up with two headers to claim a thirteen-minute hattrick in a second half which saw County score four. The Exiles claimed the win and had a very happy homecoming in front of 4,000 fantastic fans!
The match was the first to be played at Rodney Parade since the WRU had taken over the stadium, and was the first match played on the brand new Desso pitch. There were some teething problems around the stadium, whilst the Club and the WRU worked hard to get Rodney Parade match-ready for the homecoming but on the pitch, no such problems occured.
Two weeks later, the Stadium is two-weeks better prepared, the problems and feedback have been taken onboard, discusses and rectified and now, we’re looking to follow-up the happy homecoming game with a superb second outing.
Volunteers and Supporters
4,000 of you poured into Rodney Parade to welcome home a new-look Newport County AFC side who'd had 5 games and 2,000 miles on the road. The support was incredible and the party atmosphere created was fantastic.
