Tickets are available to purchase on the night at the away end at the gate 6 ticket booth. *There is a £2 increase per age category for tickets purchased on the day.

True Blue Travel:

The True Blue Travel coach to Newport has now SOLD-OUT. The coach will depart from the HUB at 2.30pm.

Address for the ground:

Rodney Parade, Rodney Road, NP19 0UU

Car parking information: 

Parking is very limited on matchdays within Rodney Parade and only those with pre-booked parking spaces should park at the stadium. Most supporters park in side streets near the stadium – please be aware of any parking restrictions – or use the multistorey car parks in the town centre and take a short walk over the footbridge to Rodney Parade. *Some car parks may close at a certain time so please check before you park.

Which stand are we in?

Town fans will primarily be housed in the Bisley stand at one side of the ground, there is uncovered seating at the south end of the ground which opens for away fans if the demand is there.

Public transport information:

Newport Railway Station is situated around a quarter of a mile away from the stadium and is a relatively short walk. The station is served by trains from London Paddington, Bristol Temple Meads & Birmingham New Street.

Pubs for away fans:

There are a number of away-friendly pubs near Rodney Parade, all of which cater to different needs. Please note, however, that some bars require club colours to be covered and some do not allow children. Some of these pubs are: 

Excelsior Club, 209 Corporation Road, NP19 0EB

Godfrey Morgan (Wetherspoons), 158 Chepstow Road, NP19 8EG

John Wallace Linton, The Cambrian Centre, NP20 4AD

Queen’s Hotel, 19 Bridge Street, NP20 4A

Ye Olde Murenger House, 52 High Street, NP20 1GA

Food and drink inside the ground:

Once through the turnstiles, the usual offering of burgers amongst other things can be purchased along with Hot & Cold drinks, alcohol will also be available. Please note that Rodney Parade is a cashless venue.

Can I get a programme?

It would appear Newport County do offer a physical programme, priced at £2.
