HOST CLUB IDENTITY

The Exiles

Founded in 1912, Newport County has developed a footballing identity recognised by generations of supporters as The Exiles. Rodney Parade provides the setting, with Bisley Stand and Hazell Stand among its familiar landmarks; Welsh Cup winners (1980) and Third Division promotion (1979/80) sit prominently in the club’s record books.
