NEWPORT County AFC caretaker manager Michael Flynn is hoping to see more queues at the ticket office tomorrow as the Exiles host Accrington Stanley at Rodney Parade.

Many fans missed the start of the Good Friday clash with Yeovil Town due to technical problems with the ticket system but 3,789 did eventually see County triumph 1-0 thanks to Mickey Demetriou’s free-kick winner.

Flynn doesn’t want supporters to miss any of the action tomorrow but he’s hoping that another big crowd can cheer the side on to another three points as they aim to climb out of the League Two relegation zone.

County, in 23rd, remain one point behind Hartlepool United with just three games left to play.

“It’s a massive game,” said Flynn. “I said a couple of weeks ago we had six cup finals left and now it’s three.

“And the fans are huge. The atmosphere at the Yeovil game was excellent – as good as I remember for a long time.

“So, again, I’d like to thank the fans for their support and their backing.

“It was unforeseen circumstances with a ticket machine going down,” he added.

“It won’t happen again but it looked brilliant with people queueing up – I thought it was going to be a 10,000 crowd!

“It just goes to show that the support is there and as long as we get back to winning ways I’m sure they’ll come on a regular basis.”

County’s run of three successive 1-0 wins was ended with a 6-1 thumping at Plymouth Argyle on Easter Monday.

And striker Aaron Williams, who came off the bench to score the consolation goal at Home Park, praised the fans for their support on a difficult day.

“The fans are helping us massively,” said Williams. “They’re getting behind us.

“On Monday they never stopped cheering, even when we went 6-0 down, they were still there until the end.

“They clapped us off and with some teams I’ve played for the fans would have walked out.

“They definitely believe in us and we need the fans to give us that extra edge, be that 12th man for us and push us over the finishing line.”

Earlier this week the club issued a statement on the ticket issues before the Yeovil match.

It reads: “The club would like to apologise to supporters who experienced lengthy delays when purchasing tickets.

“Whilst additional volunteers were recruited to assist with the expected large Bank Holiday crowd, the ticket office experienced several technical based issues with its ticket system, which resulted in two of the four ticket windows having to close.

“Technicians have been called out to Rodney Parade to fix the system ahead of Saturday's League Two fixture.

“The club would like to thank supporters who have provided feedback from Friday's match and will be using this to prevent further issues for the final two home matches of the season, as well as to assist in a ticket operations review which will take place in the close season.

“Newport County AFC would like to remind supporters that tickets can be purchased in advance of a match day at the ticket office between 10am and 3pm Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, as well as from 10am until kick off on Saturday of a home match.

“In addition, tickets can also be purchased online at www.newportcountytickets.co.uk for collection in the club shop or printed at home.

“Supporters are reminded to arrive early prior to home matches to avoid lengthy queues and late entry to the match.”
