It's a shame such a lot of time is wasted talking about money in the game, when really nothing has changed. (Rememberer when Liverpool were the richest, buy a new one to stay ahead.) Perhaps losers who post on message boards fancy themselves as back driving directors. Probably played too much Fifa.

County will always be County, like Newport itself . Always potential trying to run to catch up with the subsidized rest. Always had to cut our cloth a little tighter, always had to be a little more savvy. Sometimes hit a little harder. Always relied on ourselves, remember when we didn't...-went out of business.

I'm ******* proud of this current era, so cut the winging, enjoy the ride. Port are going up!

Such a shame that the board have accomplished the exact opposite for the club on the windfall that came our way through the cup run and transfers last season.

The 'windfall' of last year only amounted to just under £200,000 ? What were you expecting to happen from that sum?

It's not instant success on the pitch the dissenters are looking for, it's some sort of idea of what the future looks like off it!

People continually ask for info a lot of which can never be classed as commercially sensitive. The chairman continues to ignore the opportunity to attend meetings to connect with the supporters.
The fans feel isolated from the club which they did their utmost to save from oblivion.
It must be a two way thing. Don't expect the support of the fans if you can't be bothered to speak to them.

The Chairman attended the last Supporters' Meeting in May and made himself available for questions.

Try to get your facts right next time.
