Fans are back and they are screaming for a Newport penalty as the ball bounces up towards Baily Cargill's arm.

Referee Charles Breakspear says no spot-kick - and it looks a good decision.

Aaron Collins sends a free-kick sailing off the pitch rather than into the Newport box.

Not one of his best, that.

Jayden Richardson flies down the right flank, galloping past his man, but his cross his cut out.

Aaron Collins has shown he’s got a great spring. He’s causing the Newport County backline some problems.

Newport are not keeping possession as well as they were in the opening stages.

The ball has been presented to Forest Green on a couple of occasions, leaving Mike Flynn's team with defending to do.

Now Newport defender Aaron Lewis makes an important clearance as Forest Green threaten down the right flank.

Decent ball down the left from Baily Cargill, but Odin Bailey cannot control and the chance to get a cross into Newport's box is gone.

Forest Green are improving, though.

Josh Sheehan makes an important challenge on the edge of the Newport box to snuff out Aaron Collins.

That was a first hint of a chance for Forest Green, who have also seen Dom Bernard pick up an early booking.

'Amber Army' is the cry from the home supporters, who are enjoying themselves on their long-awaited return to this ground.

Their team have shown some promising signs early on.

You have to say those are two absolutely huge chances Newport have missed.

Both Padraig Amond and Lewis Collins have missed golden opportunities.

The rain, the crowd, all the ingredients were there for a fast start by the hosts, but will they rue those missed chances?

Aaron Lewis hurls a throw into the Forest Green box.

Mickey Demetriou wins the header but flicks it well wide of the target.

Rain is coming down in Newport, which is not making life easy as the ball skids on the greasy Rodney Parade surface.

It is not pleasant for those fans back on the open terraces, either.

Ryan Haynes asks questions of Forest Green down their right but the ball is eventually cleared.

Newport are enjoying plenty of possession so far.

Strong, strong challenge from Dom Bernard on Liam Shephard, but he gets some of the ball and the referee says play on.

Another big opportunity for Newport goes begging as a long throw opens Forest Green up too easily.

Padraig Amond feeds Lewis Collins, but his shot is well saved by Luke McGee.

One thing I’ve noticed on a Newport County corner is Forest Green see that as an opportunity to break and they did earlier.

Newport fans reckon Forest Green keeper Luke McGee is timewasting at a goal-kick.

Surely it is too early for that, isn't it?

Forest Green are trying to settle here, with around 900 noisy home fans not helping on that front.

Newport are having the better of the opening exchanges.

What an opportunity for Newport to take the lead inside 40 seconds as the ball is flicked into the path of Padraig Amond, but he sends a half-volley over the top.

That was a big chance.
