And as for the rest of the season I couldn’t give a shit, we’ll get more points than them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantra Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 That is pathetic but I'd gladly host them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyrotten Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Very strange that, I would have thought there'd be rules about having to host games, for any league down to sunday league never mind EFL, what if everyone wanted to play away every week? Also cant believe they cant find a local non league ground they can hire, has to be cheaper than travelling/hotel stays etc and retain a bit of "home" advantage.

Dr. Feelgood Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 It really doesn't meet the requirements of fulfilling your season, does it. Their pitch is their responsibility so make it playable, or forfeit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ani Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Surely if they can not fulfill fixtures they need to consult with Doncaster ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Feelgood Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 7 hours ago, Ani said: Surely if they can not fulfill fixtures they need to consult with Doncaster ? My position exactly. Until last season I'd always taken a kindly approach to clubs in difficulties thinking "there but for the grace of God ...". Well, last season it was us, & Bury of course and we watched no-mark clubs with no history jump all over us. No sympathy, no respect, no sense of ethics whatsoever. Peterborough, Lincoln, Doncaster & a good few others willing to chuck us to the wolves for the sake of very short term advantage. So fck 'em. All of them. If you need a favour go fck yourselves. Oh, & Newport broke Chungie in a pre-season 'friendly' and never uttered a word of sympathy to him or us ... AND it's a shithole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter FrancisFogarty Posted February 28, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted February 28, 2021 Think they would want to play away for the rest of the season if there were fans allowed ? Would they fuck. Newport ways would be in Welsh meltdown. Fuck 'em, by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leyther_Matt Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 This Newport switch doesn’t sit well with me at all. They’re switching it for purely footballing reasons and nothing else. They’ll surely have a massive advantage now playing on a bowling green instead of the usual cabbage patch. The venue should only have changed as an absolute last resort once the pitch was completely unplayable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather play them on a decent pitch to be honest, think it will be a better game to watch and makes us more likely to get a result.

The efl will surely want assurances the pitch has improved before they can go back? Otherwise why permit the temporary shift? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, Gwent Dragons RU are playing at Newport on March 13th, 21st and 28th so it’s not even as if the pitch is getting a rest while they’re at Cardiff.
