Newport 13:37 - Jan 9 with 1922 views | thrillseeker | Will we be allocated the seated side stand with the roof or the temporary seated stand behind goal with no roof? First away match of 2017 for me Bit concerned about weather forecast especially knowing their pitch isn't the greatest Leaving Colchester on 08:33 train and arrive in Newport 12:30 - not a bad journey time and only cost £38 return for me and my 9 year old | | | | |
Newport on 16:56 - Jan 9 with 1892 views | wessex_exile | Looking at the internet football ground guide I use, it seems we get allocated both. http://www.footballgroundguide.com/leagues/england/league-two/rodney-parade-newp The covered area holds 580, so even though it'll be a new ground for the U's faithful to tick off, and despite our current form, I'd be pleasantly surprised if we fill the covered seating and spill over into the open air section. I'm hoping to make this trip as well, depending on how the house move is (or isn't) going. That's a cracking price for the train ticket btw! [Post edited 9 Jan 2017 16:57]

thrillseeker enjoy the game on Saturday. Latest Weather forecast: Friday 13 Jan Max 3 degrees c Min -2 degrees c Precipitation 80% Saturday 14 Jan Max 2 degrees c Min -3 degrees c Precipitation 50% Snow showers likely towards the end of the week. Perhaps more of a risk of a frozen pitch but hopefully weather will be kind. I am looking ahead to the Exeter game the following weekend. Hopefully conditions will also be kind. Devon is forecast to have more snow than South Wales this weekend. Michael Fish Up the U's | |

Unbelievable - Gwent Dragons have a rugby match at the stadium on Friday evening http://www.newportgwentdragons.com/FixturesResults/Season No wonder teams complain about not being able to play football at Rodney Parade. I'm not now concerned with the weather just the Graham Westley oafs and his style of football | | | |
