Newport County away guide

Upcoming home fixtures

Seasonal calendar

Rugby season crossover — Early season fixtures can clash with Dragons rugby matches at the same ground — check scheduling.
Remembrance weekend — Local commemorations in the city centre in November can affect town-centre traffic.

Newport station — Good connections from Cardiff and Bristol; about 20 minutes' walk to the ground over the river.
Bus from station — Local buses run towards the ground for those who'd rather not walk.
Driving — M4 J24 or J25b, then follow signs; the ground shares parking with the rugby club that also uses it.

The Potters Green pub — Popular option for away fans close to the ground. Map
Newport city centre cafés — A good range near the station for those arriving early. Map
Ground concourse — Shared with Dragons rugby, so facilities are a step up from many League Two grounds. Map

Rugby season crossover

Early season fixtures can clash with Dragons rugby matches at the same ground — check scheduling.

Ground note

Rodney Parade is a rugby ground shared with the Dragons — check which entrance and stand applies for football fixtures.

Ground note

The walk to the ground crosses the River Usk, which can be exposed and windy in bad weather.
