Have you actually read any of those threads??

Looks like most confirm my points.

1. There was a big explosion before the game

2. Crusaders got flogged

3. The Union crowd generally were not impressed

4. Newport is run down and in need of regeneration.

I wish I'dve known where this plank was stood/sat.


An embarrassment to his nation.

Certainly no Ricky Pontin

We were in the Hazell Stand.

Sort of half way along but a bit closer to the 'Hospitality Box' end (the thing that looks like someone had forgotten to demolish an old Glaswegian tenement flat that had been used as a crack den)

You could have bought us a beer from that bloke with the weedkiller pack on his back if you had asked us nicely.

About 10 metres away from me then.

Yes, I've read it. There are three people saying they would watch league and one who attended who said he isn't. The other one is a Rhinos fan having a pop. What's your point?

Think Id rather be more interested in this Newport RU fans comments than our Australian interloper :-

`I was there. Was a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
Enjoyed the razzamataz before the game with the pyrotechnics.
Both sets of supporters were very good and very vocal creating a great atmosphere. Well done to Leeds fans for travelling down in such great numbers.

Seems to a massive difference in how the whole thing was marketed campared to our normal Magners league matches and the Dragons in general.

One thing that sticks in my mind though (even though i had a quiet chuckle about it) was before the match I was walking along Clarence place towards the Dodger when i overheard a group of middle aged Leeds fans saying to each other in their broadest Yorkshire accents.......
'EEEEE BYE GUM, THIS PLACE COULD REALLY DO WITH SOME REGENERATION COULDNT IT' (whilst looking at the builidngs in the area)

Nice to know that This city of ours gives such o good impression to those who visit her.

But on the whole we enjoyed the whole experience.`
