IN RESPONSE to Linda Joseph’s letter (Argus, May 8), I have to contradict her opening statement. She most certainly is a killjoy.

Newport County’s promotion to the Football League after 25 years is worthy of celebration and is a wonderful boost to a city which has suffered badly in this recession and which has been in dire need of some good news to cheer about. Newport County’s achievement might not mean much to Ms Joseph in Llantarnam, but it has generated much positive publicity on TV and in the press for our city and has put a big smile on many people’s faces, mine included.
