If we haven't why not put local Hospice on there like ST Anne's or St David's good bit of PR from the Club that would be and get BBC to mention it

Aren't Leicester big in Thailand? Can't we quickly arrange a deal with someone/something from there? I'm sure the match will have plenty of coverage there.

At a guess, it they are 'big in Thailand' then any sponsors there will already have coverage and will be focused on the Leicester City shirts.

Just been to County shop asked woman working how many left she said about 300 and should sell them by Sunday

Anyone know if we are sold out?

That was Sunway University which is in the 'burbs of Kuala Lumpur (Have a slight connection to someone there from my time working in that location). The Spurs games were shown live there. Not sure what's happening in terms of overseas coverage for Sunday's game but hopefully we will have a global audience so there may be something in the pipeline.

Amazingly there is no live coverage in Australia of the FA Cup this season from any FTA or Pay TV service, so to watch the game we have to illegally stream...... plus it's a 3.30am kick off.......

From club website:-

This afternoon's Emirates FA Cup Third Round clash against Leicester City at Rodney Parade is now officially a sell out.

Supporters are urged to plan ahead and arrive early. The Rodney Parade Ticket Office is open from 12pm and long queues are expected when collecting tickets, so be prepared.

Looking for some official club merchandise ahead of kick-off? Our Kingsway Club Shop is open from 11am until 2pm.

Arrive early, stay safe and enjoy the match Exiles!

Not bad considering the "utterly breathtaking stupidity" over ticket pricing.

A sell out huh. Wow, fair play to the club, looks like they may have played this one right. Though I do think we’ll have about 500 Leicester fans in our ‘end’ ..

Well done the club. The "I would do it like this" brigade won't be happy.

I think it's you that doesn't get it.

I think thr clubs been spot on Michael, the real supporter won't mind paying a few quid more to watch a premiership club go toe to toe with their own, the floaters won't turn up until the next big occasion no matter what anyway

I'm sure the Leicester fans who can afford the away travel and don't mind standing or sitting in the Newport sections of the ground will be delighted. I suppose those people on limited budgets in Newport can watch it on the television, or pay the extra and miss the next League game. I couldn't see the home game v Spurs last season but saw the Crawley and Morecambe games. Look at the drop off in gate for the second game. People only have so much money to spend.

County didn't increase prices for the West Ham game, the following Saturday for a run of the mill match against Reading there was a crowd in excess of 5,000.

You are entitled to your view, mine is that if our club wants to be part of our community, making a quick financial kill is utterly and breathtakingly stupid.
