Find out everything that is going on this Sunday at Rodney Parade as we take on Leyton Orient FC.
REMEMBERING JUSTIN EDINBURGH
As shared recently, former Manager Justin Edinburgh will be posthumously inducted in to NCAFC's Hall of Fame at tomorrow's match with a ceremony to take place at half time.
Supporters are advised to take their seats as early as possible in respect of the half time announcements.
Several former County players will also be present at the match to remember a brilliant man that did so much for our Club.
A minutes applause will take place prior to the match and supporters are also invited to applaud in the 50th minute of the match to mark what would have been the age our former Manager would have reached as recently as the 18th December.
BUCKET COLLECTION - JE3 Foundation
NCAFC Supporters are encouraged to, if possible at what could be a challenging time of year for many, donate to the several bucket collectors that will be dotted around Rodney Parade this Sunday.
All money donated will go directly to a foundation set up by his son Charlie Edinburgh with funds focusing on purchasing and supplying defibrillators in an effort to save lives.
