An air ambulance landed on the Rodney Parade pitch after the ground had been evacuated
Newport County's Rodney Parade stadium has been evacuated less than an hour before the opening League Two game of the season against Notts County.
The evacuation took place following a medical emergency involving a supporter at the ground.
Spectators as well as members of the media were told to leave the ground.
Two separate air ambulances landed on the pitch as part of the emergency response.
Newport posted on social media: "Due to a supporter being taken ill in the stands, an air ambulance has landed on the pitch.
"A delay to kick-off is likely, with more details to follow as soon as possible.
"We send our very best wishes to the individual concerned."
