Title: Newport news

It never rains but it pours on poor old County.

Having rid themselves of the dreaded Westley, it now looks like they might be homeless soon, unless they are relegated;

Sorting out the mess of a pitch with 4G might make good sense, but unfortunately it is not allowed in the EFL at the moment. It is allowed in the National League.

County have a 10 year lease from 2013, so if they were to stay up, the lawyers will be unleashed.
If they go down, then they would not be eligible to return until the EFL change the rules.

I guess the real action is going to come when a club with a 4G pitch finishes in the promotion slot!
