As the Dragons take on the Blues on Friday night, Rodney Parade will be marking the completion of the new Bisley Stand with some special guests.
Former Dragons and Newport star Rod Snow will be attending the game as well as former Newport and Springbok sensation Gary Teichmann and Welsh stalwart Max Boyce.
Former Dragons and now World Record holder Richard Parks will also be on Parade as he continues his campaign to raise £1 million for Marie Curie Cancer Care on the back of his extraordinary 737 Challenge.
Representatives from the region’s Premiership teams will be invited to join the Dragons as they look to get another win over their regional rivals and with bonfire night on the 5th, there will be a fireworks display for supporters to admire from the stadium at the end of the game.
The Bisley Stand is part of the Rodney Parade regeneration, set to continue over the coming years has already provided fantastic corporate hospitality and non-matchday facilities as well as enhancing the matchday experience for supporters on the East side of the ground.
A sell-out crowd is expected for the regional derby so supporters are urged to get their tickets early to make sure they are in on the action.
“The Blues game is always a special day,” said Rodney Parade Head of Operations Mark Jones. “It’s fitting that we celebrate this new era at Rodney Parade with our nearest neighbours and we’re delighted to have so many special guests coming to share the occasion with us.”
For those who want to stay late, there will be music with local group, Free Beer, and a disco in Rodney Hall.
