Re: Great read
3The Argus supplement this morning is very good too. It describes our cup run in 1948 when we beat Leeds and Huddersfield before losing narrowly to Pompey in front of 48,000
"(Prior to the Huddersfield game) the South Wales Argus reported an early suspension of ticket sales because a small number had been spotted on sale before all tickets had been circulated to approved vendors. County had never reached the fourth round before, and sales "depots" were to be opened simultaneously across Newport when all tickets had been delivered, to try to prevent people "dodging" from one queue to another. The aim was that "everybody would have an equal chance of securing a ticket.
"Fans had plenty to say about how tickets should be sold, "Up the County" echoing the thoughts of many who wrote to the Argus in suggesting that one ticket each be sold at the turnstiles at the next home game. By doing this the directors would be doing justice to the faithful band of supporters who have stood by them in good times and bad, wet weather and fine. It would be hard luck on these supporters if they had to stay away for someone who only went to the County for cup-ties"
Sound familiar?
