Bet it'll be like the friendlies and vast areas of 'sold' tickets will remain empty

I've not bought mine yet & difficult to find a pair.

I am pretty sure those tickets have actually been sold, they were available a while ago, think the crowd will be larger than the friendlies.

When I booked two tickets for the Villarreal game, the North Stand was showing only a few tickets in each block. At the game, the stand was barely half full. It was the same when I booked for the Newport game yesterday. I suspect it will be half empty again too.

But the attendance was really pretty good for Villarreal and I would expect more than that on Tuesday, hey who knows

im gonna ring the club Monday for tickets then as would rather pay £12 for a seat in a prime place on the half way line rather then £12 for a seat next to the away fans.

Good luck, I think most tickets on the half way line were sold weeks ago, why leave it to the day before the match to get tickets?

Have heard over 9k have been sold, though its hard to see online how many are really available.

I'm in my normal ST seat at the back of the North and all around seats are unavailable, I think all the single seats have been taken off sale by the looks of it too.

Biggest crowd to watch the newly formed Newport County was probably 16,346 at Wembley last season in the Play-off Final. The attendance will do well to exceed that.

On a Tuesday night, four hours drive from home?

I suppose the fact it's the school holidays will bring a few more down but they're not a massively supported club so can't see much more than that.

Is that a question or a term of abuse?

Ha ha, no, but I sponsor a Newport players kit (David Pipe) and went to both their recent Wembley games #gloryhunter , oh and I go to see them 2 or 3 times a season, when the Albion aren't playing, of course.

Stuff 'em. They did it for Villareal and we didn't go because apparently no pairs available. Cost the club my £24 + £10 car park + pies etc. If they're playing their silly games again, fans won't go. Anyone would think they don't want to sell tickets!
