just spoke to newports ticket office - they said they should get confirmation tomorrow from bt sport - may even be the 20th. But they are still selling tickets for the 13th anway!
If this game is postponed due to pitch problems Newport should be fined - there would be a subsequent loss for either team as match likely to be postponed to 7/8 January so loss of ticket sales at Anfield if midweek plus the TV money. Its not acceptable to have such a poor pitch in the football league and for other clubs to potentially suffer as a result
