Love the optimism of the "-2018" part of this thread title...

Got to dream fella :smile:

Tickets for this game are priced like it's the Checka-a-Trade tinpot, very surprised by them. Lets hope for a wee cup run!

Yeah very cheap tickets. Might get 2,500 to 3,000 crowd?
I think Newport are laying on free or subsidised coach travel for their fans, which is only fair.

Newport will be the 15th club he has played for since joining West Ham 8 years ago so I don't think it's just us he failed to produce for !

Not really worried about how clubs hes played for since his hammers days ,just a shame he couldnt produce for us .I wish every player signs for Southend all the best and hope they can produce for us , just a shame that many dont.

Nice thought, but wouldn't they have been better off playing it at someone else's ground, nearer to Newport? :unsure:

Not sure that would have been an option for them.

Be interesting to know why.

Also, how do the gate receipts work. Do Newport get a better cut of them than if they had been drawn to play us away?
