Newport County AFC is a Welsh football club from Newport that, unusually, plays in the English Football League rather than the Welsh system. Nicknamed the Exiles, the club is famous for giant-killing FA Cup runs against Premier League opposition and plays at Rodney Parade. It represents a proud south-Wales city with a long football history.
Rochdale AFC is an English football club based in the Greater Manchester town of Rochdale, in the north-west of England. Nicknamed the Dale, the club spent most of its history in the lower reaches of the Football League before slipping into non-league, playing at the Crown Oil Arena. It represents a former cotton-milling town in the foothills of the Pennines.
