Good to see the grandstand opened up early and nicely swept and walkways washed down too! I trust you’ve stocked the bars and got the kettles filled, it should be a busy day. I’ll be at the game with, I hope , the biggest crowd of the season and I expect it’ll be busy here too

This is like our very own Cup final against the best team in the League. With a big crowd and a warm , sunny day, I can't wait!

Striker Jamille Matt returns from a ban for a Newport side who have not lost a home league game since February.

Centre-backs Mickey Demetriou (broken leg) and Ryan Innis (suspended) will not feature, but full-back George Nurse is back in contention.

Leaders Exeter, who are unbeaten in the league this season, are without Gary Warren, Lee Holmes and Nicky Ajose.

Midfielder Nigel Antangana is close to a return from injury but will not be ready for the Newport trip.

Well done indeed! legend is a word banded about to easily in this day and age, I have seen people on these boards refer to flynny as a legend but to me he won't be that until he has actually won something with us "ie" promotion.
But Ron Jones is a true legend! not only of our club but of our city also a truly great man, so I hope the club are not having a minute's silence to mark ron's passing, a minutes applause would be more apt or if it were up to me 2 minutes.

RIP Ron, a true legend.
