Notts County ‘willing to wait as long as we had to' during medical emergency

Once two air ambulances cleared the pitch, the two sides shared the points following a hard-fought 1-1 draw in League Two as a Jodi Jones penalty cancelled out Gerard Garner's opener for the hosts. But both bosses were quick to point out that football was secondary due the events before kick-off. 'We don't know the full details yet, but we know it's someone associated with our football club so we wish him and his family all the best. It just puts things into perspective,' said Paterson. 'We as a football club were willing to wait as long as we had to so that the supporter was taken care of.' And Hughes echoed those thoughts when he spoke after the match. 'Everyone's thoughts are with the individual who was involved in the medical emergency. Him and his family are in everyone's thinking,' said the Exiles boss. The delay did not seem to affect the visitors as they dominated the first 45 minutes, hitting the crossbar through Connor Grant and going close on several other occasions. Garner then headed the hosts in front from a long throw four minutes into the second half before Jones sent Nik Tzanev the wrong from the spot in the 65th minute after Matt Baker brought down Matthew Dennis. Paterson said: 'At half-time I was disappointed not to be one or two goals to the good, with some of our play and the clear-cut chances that we created. 'But football owes you absolutely nothing. You have to take those chances because you leave yourself open for certain styles to hurt you. 'We conceded a set-play goal that was very avoidable and we had to have a reaction to get a goal back. 'I'm disappointed not to win the game, but if teams play in a certain manner and are effective with it there's nothing wrong with that – we can't complain, we just have to be better at being us.' Michael Reindorf hit a post for the home side after Jones' equaliser, but Hughes was relatively pleased with a point after last week's Carabao Cup win at Barnet. 'When you go 1-0 up at home, you want to see the game out,' he said. 'But we played a very good team. You can see why they're one of the favourites. 'We have provided a platform in these first two games to underpin our performances moving forward. There are areas we want to work on, but I think the lads should be immensely proud of themselves.'

Fan in ‘stable condition' after Newport medical emergency

Two air ambulance helicopters landed at Rodney Parade to treat the Notts County supporter with the man flown to hospital for treatment. The match, County's first League Two encounter of the season, was delayed by an hour to 4pm. The away side said in a statement: 'A Notts fan who was taken ill before today's game is in a serious but stable condition in hospital. 'We will provide further updates when appropriate and we continue to send our thoughts and best wishes to the supporter and their family.' The stadium was evacuated to allow medical staff to work at the scene. The fixture ended with the sides sharing the spoils after a 1-1 draw.

Newport County boss David Hughes critical of EFL for cup schedule

The Exiles battled to a 1-1 draw at Rodney Parade on Saturday in a match that was delayed by one hour due to a medical emergency among the travelling fans. And Hughes claims the point against one of the favourites for promotion this season is all the more impressive given that his side had to play a Carabao Cup preliminary round tie at Barnet last Tuesday. "I'm sure Notts County would have been disappointed if they hadn't got something from the game, based on their performance," said Hughes after Ged Garner's opener was cancelled out by a Jodi Jones penalty for the visitors. "But you've got to understand, we were at Barnet on Tuesday night. "I'm not sure, in terms of the calendar, that that's absolutely fair. First game of the season and everyone's looking forward to it and then you throw that one in there on the Tuesday. I don't think that's particularly fair for our players. "So, add that into the mix and this result is even better." (Image: Kian Abdullah/Huw Evans Agency) Both Matt Smith and Courtney Baker-Richardson were taken off as a precaution at Barnet and started Saturday's match on the bench, and Hughes claims the tie put his players at risk. "When you've had a six-week block of work and you're planning for this date [Saturday] and you get the option of playing [the cup tie] either side of this weekend, you're thinking what is right for the players?" added the new Exiles boss. "That game [last Tuesday] put players at risk of injury, so we ended up managing individuals to ensure we keep everyone fit and available. "I'm not sure that was the right thing for the EFL to put that game on last Tuesday." The Notts County clash kicked off at 4pm on Saturday after two air ambulances had landed on the pitch to treat a Magpies fan and take him to hospital. He was reported to be in a serious but stable condition in hospital on Saturday night and Hughes expressed his sympathy. "Everyone's thoughts are with the individual who was involved in the medical emergency. Him and his family are in everyone's thinking," he said. "From a perspective of preparation, it is what it is. We just had to be ready and focused when the game started. It happens and our thoughts are with the gentleman first and foremost." Hughes' men are next in action at Crawley Town on August 9 and he hinted that there may be more new signings before then. "We're working on them, it's not easy," he said. "There are a number of factors. We are looking to add some further numbers, and not just numbers - they've got to be quality. We are definitely trying and we will [add more] over time - the conversations I've had with the chairman have always been positive."
