Think the club forced their hand, we were in the running but wouldn't confirm anything with them until the fixtures were released

Their pitch is shite and we have more chance of winning on it. Playing England on our brand new pitch there's only one winner...It's smaller too and our players are more used to smaller crowds. Imagine a full house at the cae ras with mostly English majority. I can see why they are holding it there. Bloody annoying all the same but I can see why.

It’s a sell out.

It was never going to be anywhere else than South Wales, even for the Women's game. This has been the case for a long time. The Welsh FA would rather play matches on a Recreation park in South Wales than have them up here.

A sell out. 5000.

South Wales is now the home of Welsh Football. Why would they play it up here?

The decision was left to the management and players and therefore made for footballing reasons.

Many of the players are based in South Wales/South West and they've played at Newport previously so are used to the set-up.

Also England have been restricted to around 220 tickets!

Yes that was another consideration, there was always a danger Racecourse 2018 could become Anfield 1977
