And finally, the answers provided by James:

How long have you supported Newport County?

I’ve supported Newport County for 8-9 years.

Where did you finish last season?

We finished 11th last season.

What do you think of your Manager?

I think Mike Flynn is a young upcoming manager with a lot of passion for Newport County and rest of the City.

What are your hopes and expectations for this season?

Hopes are to get playoffs and another good cup run would be great.

Padraig Amond and Antoine Semanyo are the two players to watch out for.

Who do you think will finish in the top 7?

Lincoln City, Milton Keynes Dons, Colchester United, Mansfield Town, Bury, Exeter City and Tranmere Rovers. I think it will be a close battle between Newport and Rovers for the last spot in the top 7.

Who do you think will finish in the bottom 2?

Macclesfield Town and Cheltenham Town.

What are your thoughts on Lincoln City?

Very good club with a good fan base in League Two. Good backing behind them financially and Danny Cowley is doing a great job.

What do you think the score will be?

3-1 to Lincoln.

What will your likely default formation and style of play be for this season?

Our formation is normally 5-3-2, but it depends on the team we play.

Random fact about your Club?

We play in Black and Amber because of Wolves.

If you could steal one Lincoln City player for your own team, who would it be and why?

John Akinde.

What are your proudest and most embarrassing moments as a Newport County Supporter?

Promotion in 2012 and the great escape.

Who would you say is your most underrated player?

Our most underrated player is Dolan.

Do you have a Supporters Trust and what role do they play at the Club?

Yes, we have a Supporters Trust and they help where we can with money.

Which was your favourite match involving Newport County?

The 1-1 draw with Spurs even though we didn’t win the whole occasion for the club was great or the great escape stands out as well.

Which was your least favourite match involving Newport County?

The 4-0 loss to Leyton Orient at home.

What’s the best thing about Newport?

Just the passion of the supporters and we’re proud of our team.

Do you have a Former Players Association at Newport County?

Yes, we do.

What’s the situation now with the rugby being, or not being, played at Rodney Parade?

We share with Newport Dragons and Newport RFC.

Similar to us, you’ve had a couple of good FA Cup draws recently – Tottenham and now Leicester. How has this money been spent? Debt reduction, facilities or the squad?

The money helped with Summer signings.

Given that you now have free access in and out of our country over the Severn Bridge, will you be bringing more support Saturday?

I’m not 100% sure if more support will go away to follow the team because of the Bridge.

Have you still got the same radio commentary team covering your games and if so do they know the difference between rugby and football now?

Yes, we do.
