The 2012/13 season marked 100 years of professional football in
Newport, a century during which Newport County AFC has played a
major role in raising the profile of the city, and taken
generations of supporters on an emotional roller coaster, ranging
from glorious successes to the depths of despair. County's first
100 years has seen many great highs: winning championships, a
Wembley Cup Final and even stunning the football world by reaching
the quarter finals of the European Cup Winners' Cup. Such successes
are all the more treasured as the club regularly faced financial
difficulties, bad luck and misfortune. Ultimately, this led to the
lowest point any supporter could endure - the bankruptcy of the
original club in 1989. But this is also an inspiring story of
defiant resistance, as the supporters immediately reformed the club
against all odds and began battling for the right to regain their
place in the Football League. County entered its centenary season
at a new ground: Rodney Parade, the traditional home of Newport
Rugby. With County having been formed as a local alternative to
rugby, perhaps this will, after all, be where County come to enjoy
their greatest success.
