Spytty Park

Following two seasons of exile in England, ground-sharing at Gloucester City's Meadow Park stadium for 1992-93 and 1993-94, the Exiles moved to 4,300 capacity Spytty Park in Lliswery prior to the beginning of the 1994-95 Conference South season.
County fans have great memories of games at Spytty, both in the League and Cup competitions.
From the historic, record-breaking Conference South title-clinching match (and subsequent pitch invasion) against Havant and Waterlooville, to the eventful FA Cup games against Blackpool and Swansea City, Spytty Park saw its fair share of notable moments between the 1994-95 season and our eventual move to Rodney Parade in 2012.
County fans will remember ‘The Shed’ - a covered terrace stand running the length of the pitch - fondly as its shape and corigated walls and roof helped up the level of noise created inside the ground and led to a fantastic atmosphere.
Nowadays, the stadium is home to fellow football club Newport City, as well as Newport Harriers Athletic Club, who often use facilities through the summer months.
The stadium’s current capacity is 5,058, an upgrade on the 4,300 which was the figure when The Exiles first moved in to the stadium.

The record attendance at the ground was for the FA Cup match against Swansea City in the 2006/07 season, officially recorded at 4,616.
Spytty Park has lived on as a part of the Newport footballing community through Newport City, who play in the Welsh Leagues and use it as their home stadium.
