Afc Wimbledon away at their new ground or Forest Green Rovers would be my choice for a trip, or just lowest possible team at home which would probably be Stevenage.

Forest Green you get the added buzz of trying to sneak a pepperami into the ground , got to be one of the few league sides that Saints have never played? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should give away promotional ones like they were outside that Leicester away game. Meat starved fans stuffing their pockets with heavily processed reclaimed pork products is just what the Forest Green owners would love to see.

cambsaint Posted 12 August, 2021 Share Posted 12 August, 2021 Still have fond memories of the 1967/8 season third round tie, drew at home after playing very badly, went to away match with mates on Weds night, fortunately the first Severn bridge had been opened by then. We didn't play particularly well but won. I remember mentioning to my friend what do you think those TV cameras are for. He replied rather too loudly "Oh it'll be just Welsh Git local TV, Fortunately we were sat in the stand and got out alive. When my uncle lived there Newport was a prosperous if hard, working class town, with huge docks carrying enormous amounts of Welsh coal, and a thriving marine based engineering industry (which employed my uncle), and a massive railway operation. It has suffered appallingly due to closure of coal mines and docks. The railway sidings and docks covered a huge area then. It's problems aren't comparable to Portsmouth. Imagine if Southampton docks and local industries had closed down over a decade or so, and it not being a convenient and popular area for higher tech industries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyinthesky Posted 12 August, 2021 Share Posted 12 August, 2021 We once employed some people from Newport. Nice enough individually and hard workers. However you wouldnt have wanted to get of the wrong side of them. And their male partners looked even tougher!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Boy Saint Posted 12 August, 2021 Share Posted 12 August, 2021 We had a Golf tour at Celtic Manor and a plan was forming to go out on the town in Newport - I said I’ll be skipping that as it’s renowned as the Wild West especially on a weekend night - they just scoffed at that and carried on with a bit of a plan. Until one of my local mates stepped in to cover one of our group who was taken ill, he heard of the plan and told them that not even he would go to Newport for night out if we paid him “if you really want to go out - trust me, get on the train to Cardiff”. This will likely be on the box as Newport have given a few higher teams have been given the runaround or bloody nose in recent times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
