Somerton Park

Somerton Park was a football, greyhound racing and speedway stadium in Newport, South Wales.

The stadium was nearly sold for housing in June 1919, but it was bought and transferred to a committee of employees from the John Lysaght's steel works.

County were members of the Football Conference that season but their bankruptcy saw them expelled from that league for being unable to fulfill their fixtures.

[2] The stadium's record attendance was 24,268 for a Football League Third Division South match between County and arch-rivals Cardiff City on 16 October 1937.

The stadium was home to the Newport Wasps speedway team between 1964 and 1977, attracting some the biggest names in the sport.
