EAGER Newport County AFC fans have begun queuing for tickets ahead of the Exiles’ FA Cup clash against Man Utd.
Newport County will host the red devils at Rodney Parade on Sunday, January 28, after beating Eastleigh 3-1 in a third-round replay on Tuesday night.
Rodney Parade will be full for the visit of Manchester United with fans not wanting to miss out on seeing the Premier League giants.
A temporary stand on the North Terrace will boost the capacity by 1,000 with the club also adding an additional 400 seats to the away stand to meet the FA’s allocation guidelines.
The seats will remain in place for the League Two games against Wrexham, Swindon and Notts County to cover costs.
Excited County fans, who braved the cold and don’t want to risk missing out on the mouth-watering FA Cup game at Rodney Parade, had already started queueing this morning.
A spokesperson for Newport County said: “Tickets will be going on sale at 10am on Monday.
“I imagine people will be queuing early, at 10.30am today it had gone round the curve in the car park.”
