My only experience of the fair city of Newport is spending an hour at the station there waiting for a connecting train when I was going from Haverfordwest to visit my then gf in Birmingham. Good times. And no mention of Newport would be complete without this song: [video=youtube;FyRPwMC3NC0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyRPwMC3NC0[/video] Amazing. Shame they took down the original video.
In that one season in the second tier, they shipped 133 goals in 42 games! They lost one game 13-0, at Newcastle.
