Was that September 4, 1981? If so, that was my first game too. I remember a young John Aldridge scored Newport's first goal.

That's the one although had to look it up as I have very little memory other than the score and opposition!
 
Quite honestly no, but it was in the 1960/61 season. Used to go with my father, grandfather and brother. We were season ticket holders in the east stand before it was extended and used to hire a cushion to sit on the wooden seats. Remember they stopped renting the cushions after they were thrown on the pitch at game end, but can't remember the date.
 
My uncle who used to be part of the singing section in the 80s in the North Bank took me to my 1st game in October 1983 against Newport I think it was, really boring game I remember but I was hooked from that day. I was 11 years old and remember on the train on the way home they took all the bulbs out of the carriage as they was the old saucer lights, guard came on and chucked us off, luckily it was our stop but I remember being proper worried lol.
 
I’m taking my 7 year old daughter for her first (maybe her last?) trip to Roots Hall this weekend. Lots of sweets, snacks & will have phone charged for when she gets bored.. any other tips?
 
It was March 71 v Notts County, a 1-0 win. Now over 50 years ago, jeez, all that torture.

Don't recall anything about it really bar the smell of stale burgers and woodbine, yum. First real memory was that flared trousers pitch invasion v Villa that same year, the 50th anniversary of which is coming up
 
Silly to say i cannot remember my first, but the one i always remember was when i was just a young sprout ,just old enough to climb over the wall at the stand end ,down into the toilet block there and out up to the hill end i walked with my freiends , it was against Millwall ,who at the time were top off division 3 south, they had a young keeper making headlines in the papers Alex Stepney ,big crowd their that night we lost 3-1 ,Milwall went on to win the league and got promoted . But i got to see my heroes, Sam Mc ,Roy Hollis and Harry Threadgold.
