I know Stevenage has become something of a hate club for some...but after several visits to Broadhall way I’ve have always found the match day experience quite different to how it’s portrayed on here, friendly fans, friendly girls in the tea hut and never any problems with stewards insisting on where you sit.

Yep, went last season for the first time with a sense of trepidation but really enjoyed it. Friendly proper club.

It is not Satanage per se that our fans loathe, it is their obsequious owner and Chairman, and odious former manager Graham Westley that our fans despise. The Chairman was a member of the Conference Board and took the opportunity to "put the knife in" at every opportunity, threatening our very existence. He had Eamon Dolan thrown out of their boardroom after one match, took no action after a bottle was thrown at Eamo during a match, tried to evade paying money in relation to James Dunne, by dropping him and then loaning him out, one appearance short of a payment milestone. the list is endless !

As for the stewards, if you were attending a match there with a female, wife, daughter whatever, would you not find improper for male steward to insist on checking their bra to check for an inflatable Haddock ? The wonderful chairman, again not only took no action, offered no apology and even defended their actions !

Remember when Vialli was down here in 1996 in a pre season friendly with Chelsea. He was a quality player. A game in which we won 2-1.

If I remember correctly, Bazza McConnell scored a worldy for us that day?

PADDY POWER ANNOUNCED AS NEWPORT COUNTY AFC’S TITLE SPONSOR AS EXILES JOIN ‘SAVE OUR SHIRT’ CAMPAIGN

Newport County AFC are delighted to announce Paddy Power as our title sponsor for the 2019/20 season.

Interesting..Love the idea of a shirt with no sponsors,Paddy Power do have different advertising angles(Huddersfield,this week.It worked !)

Betting companies have quite a hold over professional teams in the UK,all a bit uncomfortable imo.A bit hypocritical of me to say because I always do the Sky promoted football bet(only allowed £10 max)every Saturday,it’s been a £500 profit a season.
Pays for the ST.
