Newport County’s Rodney Parade stadium was evacuated less than an hour before the opening League Two game of the season against Notts County.<\/b><\/p>\n

The evacuation took place following a medical emergency involving a supporter at the ground.<\/p>\n

Two separate air ambulances landed on the pitch as part of the emergency response.<\/p>\n

Spectators as well as members of the media were told to leave the stands but were allowed to return just after 15:10 BST with the game now scheduled to kick off at 16:00 BST.<\/p>\n

No update has yet been given on the condition of the supporter, who was stabilised before being taken to hospital.<\/p>\n

Newport posted on social media: “Due to a supporter being taken ill in the stands, an air ambulance has landed on the pitch.<\/p>\n

“We send our very best wishes to the individual concerned.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
