Luton What's On

Later today, we take on title contenders Luton Town at Rodney Parade in the first of five weekends of Home Matches for the Exiles.

You can find out more about this week’s opposition, officials, and all the team news in our Preview.

As a nod to St Patrick’s Day, our Stadium DJ is putting together a list of songs by Irish Artists with the help of your suggestions on social media.  But there’s plenty more to enjoy around Rodney Parade....

 

We Fight Any Claim Marquee - Hosted by Newport City Radio

 

As always, the We Fight Any Claim Marquee will be open from midday with Newport City Radio taking on the hosting duties from 1pm.  They will be playing chart music, hosting live interviews with first team players (1.45pm), running competitions and introducing live music from Big Ben and Pork Chop.

The Family Zone makes a welcome return this Saturday.  Located in the We Fight Any Claim Marquee, we have arts, games, and sweet snacks available along with balloon animals.  Don’t forget, on the 7th April, we will be hosting a Family Fun Day with tons of fantastic kid’s activities to enjoy before the match.  Keep an eye on our website for details!

Not only is this the best place to purchase your matchday programme, The Programme Shop also boasts matchday programmes dating back over 40 years!

Located between the old Snelling Bar and the Club Shop, the Programme Shop is a little treasure trove of Matchday Programmes and Club badges from over 200 Clubs.  They also stock books, magazines and a whole host of interesting football-related items for you to browse and buy.  All this tucked away in a nook of Rodney Parade!

The Programme Shop will open at 5pm and close at kick off but will re-open for an hour after the match.

Bucket Collection – Men’s Shed

We welcome Members of the Rotary Club to run a bucket collection for a Newport Men’s Shed.  Men’s Shed is a group set up for retired men to give them a chance to socialise and take up new hobbies once they’re no longer in work.

With over 2000 successful Men’s Sheds running in Australia, the idea then moved to the UK where 200 Men’s Sheds are now established.  With successful groups already set up in Cardiff, and Swansea, Men’s Shed Cymru is now focused on bringing this opportunity to Men in Newport.
