The semi-official PRE SEASON FRIENDLY thread...

Apparently the County are due to play Haverfordwest County away on Sunday 5 August. 2.30 pm kick off. I can't find anything on the County website about this. It is on their website though. Anyone know anything about this.

The day after the season kicks off??

There's a Newport FC down by there,must be them.

No, to the best of my knowledge Newport Pembs don't have a football team. In any case the fixture says Newpôrt County. Maybe it's our academy team. If it is it has been poorly advertised.

I could only see one friendly listed on their website. Where is it shown?

To be fair, it is listed as being a pre-season friendly for their development squad, so it's hardly fair to be criticising our club for a lack of publicity.

On Haverfordwest AFC's Twitter page it says "Development Squad pre season fixtures", they're also playing Swansea so i assume its our academy teams

Oops, didn't explain myself very well. I see what you mean. I meant it was poorly advertised by them. I think Exile is right, it is probably our academy team. To the likes of me, when I first saw it I thought it was us. The dates didn't make sense though.
