Newport County V Tranmere Rovers - League 2 Playoff Final 2018/19

[Back in the DHSS]

What ever the result tomorrow i’ll be staying to clap the Tranmere players off at the final whistle as we’ve had a fantastic season.

 

[getoutofit]

On the basis of former players alone, I'm supporting Newport.

Norwood was very young and raw when he was with us but that doesn't excuse his Billy Big Bollocks with nothing to back it attitude at the time. Scot Bennett, however, was thoroughly unspectacular but pretty reliable and professional.

Wembley, The best stadium in the world when you win and easily the worst when you lose.

Worst reasons for supporting or not supporting a team ever.

 

[F!RTHY]

Newport please.

Quite like to visit Tranmere again and Michael Flynn is very well thought of around these parts.

 

[Luke Imp]

Good luck to both tomorrow.

They're not great games to lose. I couldn't tell you how it feels to win a PO Final, mind. That's not a forte up at LN5.

 

[SoutheySWFC]

Would like Newport to do it, from where they were before Flynn took over and their other history be nice to see them get up, much like I wanted Accy up.

Don't mind Tranmere either though our record there in my time is shite.

 

[Semi-skimmed Silk]

Good luck to both teams; youve both had excellent seasons regardless of what happens today. I'd like Tranmere to do it as they're a well run, big club and all the people involved with the club I've met in person have been very friendly and helpful during my visits (my one attempt to get to Newport had the match called off after crossing the M4).

Enjoy the day everyone.

 

[AdamStag]

Safe trip down both and enjoy the day.

Have plumped for Newport but purely for location purposes.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Should have been meeeee.... *shakes fist at sky* Best of luck both, expecting a good game.

 

[DippyDon]

Newport to win please purely because I didn't officially get to tick their ground off this season, even though I had a couple of pints in the away end bar

Got lost between bar and turnstile? Good beer!

 

[Moomin]

Want Tranmere to win purely to keep my play off acca going. Then just need Charlton and Villa to go up for £86.

Hope it’s a good game and personally it’s nice not to be involved this season.

 

[chief]

From a Welsh lad, come on Tranmere!

 

[chief]

Probably 10-12k Newport

Bloody hell, where have they come from?

6 years ago they had half that. Batter them please, from a bitter Wrexham fan.

 

[Tranmerewhite]

Some Tranmere doing pay on the gate. Probably 13,500 Tranmere here

 

[Roger Stone]

From a Welsh lad, come on Tranmere!

Scousers sticking together I see. Tidy.

 

[EnglishRed]

Good luck Tranmere, get back to where you belong.

Watching the dozen Newport fans who bothered to go celebrate beating us a few years back was one of the most depressing experiences in my life as a Wrexham fan.

 

[DippyDon]

Got lost between bar and turnstile? Good beer!

I’d gotten through the turnstiles! The game was called off before kick off though so it doesn’t count as ticking the ground off according to Groundhopper.

 

[Buxton Vale]

I think Newport will win, although both teams are deserving of promotion.

 

[Casey]

Good luck to both teams today. No preference for me and no insight into who are the best team as Newport were severely injury depleted and Tranmere were half paced on the final day of the season when we played them at Crawley.

I will admit to some envy though. My lot have never been involved in one of these at any level never mind Wembley.

wouldda thought Tranmere would take a few more than that

Actual fans not day trippers. We never seem to get the same casual support other clubs get.

Eh? You average half of what you've taken today.

 

[Stringy]

I'm still amazed that Tranmere are in the play-off final. They don't appear to have much apart from Norwood. Newport look the better side.

Newport are very good at pinning the opposition deep in their half with those throws ins.

Hard to do owt when the ref gives Newport a free kick every time Matt backs into someone then falls over.

 

[Boz]

Rovers had the best effort of the half, but Newport are getting a lot of dangerous ball into our box too easily and fear eventually something will come of it.

 

[shoddycollins]

This has penalty-shoot-out written all over it

 

[SoutheySWFC]

Didn't realise Tranmere had that Albino prick Ben Pringle, come on Newport

 

[The Alex]

Not sure how these 2 sides have got to the play off final, both mediocre from what I’ve seen.

The only teams in the Top 7 that even impressed me this season were Bury (both games) and Mansfield (when they spanked us at home).

It's been a wide open bang average season and I expect more of the same next season.

I thought we played well at your place. Cracking game imo.
