GrantPANELIST
Yeah.
speaker_1HOST
Let's not, let's not talk about Rodney Parade, the curse of Rodney Parade.
GrantPANELIST
Well, I, it, it's sort of.
GrantPANELIST
Let's just get the Dragons out the way early season there.
33 MINS LATER
JoshPANELIST
It's difficult to get people to sing when they're spread out here, there and everywhere.
GrantPANELIST
Yeah.
JoshPANELIST
You feel a little bit more isolated, whereas, you know, you guys probably felt it if you, if you go to the Rodney Parade, for example, or, you know, even the Principality.
JoshPANELIST
If you're in and around other people singing, you just get caught up in it.
Nathan MasonGUEST
So they can...
Nathan MasonGUEST
I've got so many memories of playing at like Rodney parade growing up, like the arms park, like running onto the pitch as a little kid, like, um, even football.
Nathan MasonGUEST
I can remember playing at the old Cardiff city stadium at halftime.
Nathan MasonGUEST
Yeah.
Rob ReesHOST
I think there's obviously a lot of difficult games.
Rob ReesHOST
And I think it'll also depend on how many of them get pushed to Rodney Parade in those big teams.
Rob ReesHOST
They like to sort of play, you know, you punt the pool at Rodney Parade.
Rob ReesHOST
I think that makes quite a significant difference when they start moving things like that around.
Rob ReesHOST
But, yeah, it's...
JimHOST
Dragon Pro were based out in Newport and they were running regular events.
JimHOST
They used to run them in the clubhouse of Rodney Parade, Newport County Stadium.
JimHOST
But by this point, they'd started running events at The Neon in Newport.
JimHOST
Lovely, lovely venue.
speaker_7HOST
I'm positive about today.
speaker_7HOST
The first time, yes, Rochdale were awful, but I think we've made Rodney Parade a bit of a tougher place to come.
speaker_7HOST
That's what I feel.
speaker_7HOST
So, yeah, we'll see.
MaxHOST
I was so angry because I was like, now we have nine minutes of pressure in a game that we've completely dominated and scored four goals, and yet it's not a given that we're gonna win it.
MaxHOST
And it, it took me back to the Newport game at, um, at, at their, at Rodney Parade last season where we were 3-0 up with-
NinoHOST
Mm
MaxHOST
... five minutes to go and ended up scraping it 3-2.
Lewis JonesGUEST
This is, this is, this is a player with such a, a, a, a, a, a, a, he's got such class in his, in his, in his armoury, isn't he? And they played, um, they went on a tour of Wales, I think, uh, Roma, and they played Newport County and Cardiff.
Lewis JonesGUEST
And I've got a, a friend who went, I went to uni with, and he's a Newport County fan, and he saw Dybala for 65 minutes at Rodney Parade, League Two team, and he said he was the best player on the pitch.
Lewis JonesGUEST
So we've got a bit of a good scout report here that he's in, in good nick against a League Two team.
Lewis JonesGUEST
But he also, um, scored against Cardiff in the pre-season friendly, and he also scored and assisted in the recent 2-all draw with, uh, Borussia Dortmund, which is obviously a big step up on playing Newport and Cardiff.
Ali MaxwellHOST
There's also definitely a sense that Kamara's own career has been kickstarted by the platform that Newport County gave him.
Ali MaxwellHOST
There's an acceptance," says Dan, "that Bristol Rovers is a step up for him, but he's now gonna get a really bad reception when he comes back to Rodney Parade, which is a shame." And he also said, "I think it's pretty disrespectful to the players that he played with last season who are already at the club." And indeed we saw quite a few of those Newport players go over to him and remonstrate with him both after the goal and at full time.
Ali MaxwellHOST
What's your take on this? Because I'm quite blinded by how funny I think it is and the fact that I just want m- more f- fun, random, crazy stuff to happen every week across these leagues.
Ali MaxwellHOST
So I'm slightly biased because I'm kind of like, "Yeah, he said before the game, 'Boo me-
Ethan HoijordGUEST
to be fair.
Ethan HoijordGUEST
I've never been to Rodney Parade, but obviously I've seen the videos, the highlights and all that sort of stuff.
Ethan HoijordGUEST
So it's a nice, I don't want to say tiny ground, but I'm not sure of the capacity, but it's quite a bit smaller than Trammies, isn't it? I think.
Ethan HoijordGUEST
And it was nice to be there, to be honest.
