Transporter Bridge Canvas

To celebrate a historic match, the winner of the upcoming Emirates FA Cup Fourth Round Clash between Middlesbrough and Newport County AFC will be presented with a special canvas.

Topping the list of our 'Top Five Reasons To Get Excited About Our Fourth Round clash' is the fact that Newport and Middlebrough are home to the UK's last two remaining transporter bridges, as well as two of the few operational bridges remaining worldwide.

As such, the Friends of Newport Transporter Bridge are proposing to present a canvas print of the Newport Transporter Bridge to the winning Manager as the sides meet in the Emirates FA Cup for the first ever time.

The Managers of both clubs, Tony Pulis and Michael Flynn, were born and raised a stone's throw from the bridge in South Wales. Hence the match also being coined Bolt Street v Baldwin Street!

Honourary Club President David Hando (Pictured) spoke to the Club Website ahead of the match and said: "Everyone is looking forward to a historic clash between two local Pill boys. Whatever the result, it will certainly be a memorable occasion."
