  • But the town/city of Maidstone/Newport make lots of money on match day.

    Yesterday Newport was busier than it’s been for a couple of years, the new Newport County shop was rammed, every pub all the coffee shops and cafes thriving not to mention loads of people selling half n half scarves all over the centre. All the hotels and Airbnb’s will have been good. It’s not all about the club.
    Also if they get say Liverpool at home in the next round then it’ll definitely be live on TV so they’ll earn the money from that too and another huge earning for the club.

  • Oh yes, but I'm not sure many lower league clubs are that altruistic that they'll give up hundreds of thousands for a boost to their local economy.

    Andy Holt (Accy Stanley owner) was asked a similar question recently and said they'd want an away tie at a big team
