'Doubtless Saturday will be another nerve-jangler'
· Yahoo Sports
After a torrid season, we asked you whether Newport County can avoid relegation to the National League in Saturday's 2025-26 finale against fellow strugglers Barrow. Tranmere, Crawley and Harrogate are also in the relegation mix.

Here are some of your views.
Ade: There have been games where we definitely deserved more. Last week was a great result where we battled for our lives. I think we have enough to stay up if we turn up Saturday and finish the job.
Carl: If we do manage to pull it off, fantastic. But this season must go down as a season of very big mistakes made and [we must] learn from them. We cannot afford to be in a similar situation next season. Much better recruitment needed and a tried and tested manager who has worked in the league, someone that has the knowledge and experience to do battle with this division and understands the value of what is needed.
David: If they play like they did against Oldham on Saturday then they will be safe, if they don't turn up it then depends on how the other teams do.
Stephen: We definitely have enough to survive. I think we'll beat Barrow, but Crawley will lose to Salford anyway imo. But we can't take that risk so go for the win.
Steve: I have a terrible feeling that Barrow will go, along with Crawley or Newport, probably Newport. We cannot get away from the fact that Newport cannot defend and cannot score many goals. I'm sorry!
Terry: Final-day deciders are not for the faint-hearted and doubtless Saturday will be another nerve-jangler. The only certainty is Barrow cannot catch Newport, but they can certainly be responsible for dragging them into the drop zone. I take the Exiles to survive, but fear for them should they not. Up the COUNTY!!
Russell: It's been an awful season, on and off the pitch. Our decline has been over a number of years, it's really not surprising we are in the position we are in today. However, we do have hope, which is a far cry from where we were before Christmas. Some astute signings have brought the best out of what can be only described as a less than mediocre squad. But we are where we are, it's in our hands, which is important, but can we do it? My best guess is that we will have to leave it in others' hands, especially when you see whose running the Barrow team, [Sam] Foley and [Graham] Coughlan, [our] ex-player & manager. Depending on the circumstances they left the club, they will be keen to put one over on us! If we do survive, then there has to be a determination of the trust and the other 21% of the shareholding for us to move forward. That will hopefully provide the investment we need to survive. As a supporter for over 50 years I can't go through this type of season again! We can do it. We will not be in existence for long if we get relegated, there will be no coming back this time, after all it took 25 years the last time!
