And the manager knows how important this match is.
Flynn has spearheaded the challenge to add to his reputation as a manager after a spell that started with the Great Escape in 2017.
County are in a stronger position in both sporting and financial terms but the boss needs to go one better than 2019 when edged out by Tranmere at Wembley.
"We've come a long way since me and Wayne [Hatswell, assistant manager] took over," said the 40-year-old. "It's been positive all the way and the only thing missing is a promotion. That's what we want more than anything.
"There is a lot of work that still needs to be done by the club and hopefully this will give us the platform to improve in areas where we need to."
Flynn played for County, coached County, worked as a business development director for County and took the job as manager of County in 2017 when a return to the National League seemed certain.
"Being from the area I know what this means to the people. If I was the one to get the club to League One there wouldn't be a prouder man in Newport," he said.
