My best memory of that night was I went with a mate who had never seen a game before. Very late on we had this conversation as I gazed at the floor.
What's happened?
West Ham have f@cking equalized.
Bren, why are all the West Ham players surrounding the referee?
40 years, Jeez

6Great memories of our youth for so many of us. It is also testament to the hard work of all club officials, directors and volunteers both past and present that have worked tirelessly to ensure the Newport kids of today will have similar memories in 2058.

8I was there also as a 13 year old and I'm pretty certain they weren't giving tickets away back then. Unfortunately kids who come from deprived backgrounds miss out on many experiences which is a shame, but I don't think Newport County is to blame for this.Stan A.

10While they probably didn't for the West Ham game, as a youngster I started attending by walking through the open gates at half time.

12I was there, aged 15, though I missed the winner.
Hot Rocks advertised in the programme? I’d forgotten that.

13My son's 40th birthday today. He was born in the Gwent at 3.00pm.
So glad it was an evening kick-off.

14A lot of empty seats at the Etihad stadium tonight. It is terribly sad that a big club like Man City with all their wealth are denying their Manchester youngsters the chance to see their heros, shameful.
