I look forward to the day when the County take control of Rodney Parade. It would be a fantastic permanent base for them.

I'll bet there was a time when you were unable to imagine Newport RFC being second class citizens at their own ground. Stranger things happen at sea.

You seem unsure as to whether they owe rent yourself, why ask me?

Calm down, all this back biting is completely out of order. These days with money tight it is completely sensible for sports clubs from different games to ground share. What's with the one-upmanship? Does no-one any good at all. We are all Newportonians and proud of it!
