Went to see the Gwent Dragons there in February while on a work trip. They lost about 60-3, some sort of record defeat. But my eldest daughter does have a Rodney the Dragon clipped to her schoolbag.
I certainly wouldn't want to pay a ticket booking fee for football played on a pitch shared with TWO rugby clubs. The Rodney Parade surface must be a right state.
In the club PR crisis response team's planning for the pricing bombshell, I suspect they weren't expecting the surprise attack over £9.50 tickets for a Capital One cup match.
Meldrew's point over the principle of the booking fee is badly undermined by the £8 cost of the ticket.
