League Two champions Lincoln City play their final away match of the season on Saturday when they make the trip to face Newport County.
The Imps have been given an allocation of just over 1,000 for the game against the play-off chasing Exiles.
Here's a guide for the Imps fans making the trip to south Wales.
What's the ground like and what it's like for away fans?
Rodney Parade doubles as a rugby ground as it is also used by Newport and Gwent Dragons rugby clubs.
Newport County only moved there in 2012 having previously played at Newport Stadium.
Just over half of the Imps fans will be housed in the modern Bisley Stand, which holds 2,500 fans and was finished in 2011.
The other City fans will be behind the goal at the south end of ground.

Where to eat and drink before the game
The clubhouse at the ground lets away supporters in, according to footballgroundguide.com.
If you want to drink away from the ground, the Excelsior Club, about five minutes' walk from the ground on Corporation Road, admits away fans. It has Sky Sports and is said to be 'family friendly'.
There is a Wetherspoon's pub, the Godfrey Morgan, about 10 minutes' walk from the away turnstiles on Chepstow Road.
Also on Chepstow Road you'll find fish n' chip shops and a Gregg's bakery.
If you fancy checking out the city centre, about 15 minutes' walk from the ground, there are a variety of options, including three more Wetherspoon's pubs.
Also, the Tiny Rebel and Ye Olde Murenger, both on the High Street, come recommended.

How to get there (postcode NP19 0UU)
Depending on traffic, the journey should take around three-and-a-half-hours by car.
Leave the M5 for the M50, followed by the A40 and A449 before picking up the M4.
Leave the M4 at junction 25 and take the A4596 into Newport
The ground is next to the River Usk. If you cross the bridge and arrive at the train station, you've gone too far.
There is no parking available at the ground for supporters. Some street parking could be available, but be aware of potential restrictions and residents' parking areas.
Your best bet might be to park in the city centre.

It's surprisingly straight forward as you can get from Lincoln Central to Newport with just one change, at Nottingham, with the journey taking between four hours and four-and-a-half hours.
However, a return ticket will set you back almost £100.
Newport Station is just a quarter-of-a-mile away from the ground on the other side of the River Usk.
