That’s after the away stand at Rodney Parade was damaged in the Exiles’ FA Cup defeat to Plymouth last night, prompting the announcement from the hosts.

Blues supporters have so far bought 750 seats for the trip to South Wales (3pm).

Any update on the ticket situation will be relayed by both clubs on their respective website.
