As of 5 min`s ago we still have no idea what venue they plan to use for the Stoke City game at the weekend, I can only imagine how much of a laughing stock our club is becoming with fan`s around the country.

Rodney parade

I suspect with all that is going on over the last few months, that is unlikely, hope I am proved wrong in my assumption, people at the (popup) club shop at the weekend had no idea where they intend to sell the tickets for the game from.

Not yet on Newport County Twitter. Not yet on the club website.

Has the venue been officially confirmed?

IT IS ONLY FIVE DAYS AWAY

What does it matter you only need 24hrs notice

I hope one of them’s Kimberly park ‘cos I can watch it while watering the flowers

Don't water your flowers at 3 in the afternoon they will scorch

Who cares? Any grown men wetting their pants about watching pre-season friendlies probably want their hard drives checking anyway.

There was an article on the BBC website containing gardening myths. Scorching flowers by watering them in the afternoon was one of them. Surprised, I was.

This is typical of the lack of communication from the club. Even Newport & District League sides have the venues for next Saturday's friendlies decided and on their Twitter feeds by now. We are supposed to be a professional club.

Tell us where it is, or tell us the reasons why you can't tell us!

Have just been to Rodney Parade. There is no game of any sport planned in the next two weeks, due to the pitch not being commissioned.
There is no plan for the Dragons shop to be open before the start of the football season.
Also called into the Shop in Kingsway and they confirmed all match and season tickets will be available there.
No one would or could not confirm the venue for Saturday's game.
