Talk Fantasy Football

I've some how managed to talk the Mrs into letting me get down Newport for about 07:30 on the Friday night so I can watch the rugby on Welsh soil(6 nations Wales v England) which I'm actually really looking forward to. As I'm staying at the Ivy Bush - which is the closest pub showing the rugby? and does anyone else fancy meeting up there for a beer?

i will be there as you already know, but the wrong side of the border for that match i think

me and george will be in Newport for the entire day i imagine so will see you in the pub for about 7-30

Joe

I should be there. My train gets in 20.07.

Work forces me away

On the plus side Newports city centre contains one of the top ten most violent streets in the country

Yeah, a note of caution, Newport isn't the place to be all "wheyyy look at me I'm English, don't you know!!" during the Rugby. I'd keep a low profile, nahmean?

Just assume everyone around you is a violent, steroid fuelled cretin. Tread softly.

Ok now you have me worried, us english playing fantasy rugby during rugby season now seems like a way to get us out there to thin the herd.
No one take diving tackle, its too realistic.

The Wales match is out the way on Friday night so Saturday and Sunday should be fine. I'm not trying to spoil anyone's evening all I'm saying is that if it was me, personally, if I was checking into my B&B on Friday night I'd stay in. But then again I don't care for Rugby.

I've been in Newport for 5 hours now and it has been a catastrophic annoyance since the border, no offence to the welsh

Hope you guys enjoyed your weekend in Newport and im sure you didnt see any violence, apart from the occasional foul! don't know were you heard Newport had such a bad reputation from but hope youve changed your minds now!!

Did you not know about what happened to diamond joes car?

Or the pregnant 19 yr old girl found stabbed to death in Newport on the Saturday Morning....

Just read about that, stabbed then burned. Tragic. Hard to belive this all happend while we were there.

Shit, didn't realise that was in Newport.

Ye actually i did hear about that girl i sat next to her in I.C.T in school. But lets face it there are bad places anywere you go if you look for them and i went to Pearly and im not being funny but theres a hell of alot more stabbings in London. but i didnt go on about how London is soo violent! I didnt exactly go to Brixton when i went there so just stay away from the rough places.

I don't think anyone was casting aspersions on Newport, just passing comment...
