2400 - From Maine Road to Rodney Parade

Been driving down to Wales and back today
In an Avis hired Skoda car (diesel)
To watch, with Louis, Newport County play
Torquay. Newport acquitted themselves well
Winning 2-1. Now we've seen all football
Clubs in league competition. We started
With Manchester City at Maine Road, all
Those years ago when Louis was 10. Sped
Down the M6, then M5, diverted
Onto the M50 with no delay
Got to Newport by one, but somehow still
Were almost late for the game, were misled
About where the stadium was, and it lay
A long walk from where we parked - what the hell!!
