The final league visit to Wales, this time to the South was in less of a spotlight than the one to North. Here is Groundhoppers verdict of the trip to the valleys.
| | | Newport County |
| Category | Score | Comments |
| First Impressions of the stadium, parking, ease of entry. | 8 | Coach stopped 50m from the turnstile and the stadium staff were ready and waiting, nice friendly reception |
| Food & Drink, range, quality, price. | 5 | Quite a good selection of refreshments on offer but these were MK prices. One burger style van speedy service, reasonable price and quality. No drink outside, no food inside rule. |
| View from your seat, any poles in the way, obstructed view, seat broken? | 7 | Decent view, no obstructions, plenty of leg room and no broken seats, the 345 Dons were in two stands |
| Home team support, was it a library, good banter between the fans? | 6 | We learnt the Welsh for handball and they moaned a lot, no banter from them to us a little attempt from us to them passed without response. |
| What were the stewards like, helpful and friendly or jobsworths? | 9 | Excellent group of stewards, full of chat and laughs before and during the game. Very helpful too. |
| Toilet facilities, clean and well equipped with hot water, disgusting. | 7 | Decent to be fair only gripe was handdryers didnt work and if you were behind the goal it was a little bit of a trek to get there |
| Ticket pricing, did the price reflect the facilities of the ground? | 6 | A fair price all things considered although it did seem a little dark. Were the the floodlights on ? |
| Ground facilities, half time service, did they let fans outside at halftime? | 7 | Smoking was allowed in the open space behind the stand, they had food prepped to serve quickly, chips were popular and they struggled to keep |
| Match atmosphere, did the Dons fans give good support? | 6 | The support behind the goal tried to inspire the side throughout the first half and for a fair bit of the second. Little noise from the home fans. |
| Ease of exit, did the carpark clear quickly, traffic around the stadium? | 7 | Fairly reasonable exit out, didnt see any carpark from our part of the ground. |
| Any other observations or comments that may have affected your scoring? | ||
