On the resumption of association football after the war, the club didn't fare so well, including a Football League record 13-0 defeat at Newcastle United. Legendary Sunderland player Len Shackleton, who at the time played for Newcastle remarked "they were lucky to get nil". Despite victories over the likes of Coventry City, Sheffield Wednesday and Fulham, the club needed four wins out of the last four games to have any hope of safety. Despite a revenge victory over Newcastle United, defeats to Birmingham City, Luton Town and Manchester City sealed their fate. County finished rock bottom of Division 2 and were relegated.

Life in the basement division

After eleven further seasons in Division 3 South, the club narrowly avoided another effective relegation with the creation of League Division 4. The bottom twelve teams from Division 3 North & South were placed in the new division, with the remainder forming a new Division 3. County avoided this fate by a mere four points. However in 1962, with only seven wins all season, the club were to play in Division 4 — their home for the next 18 years. In the 1972-3 season Newport missed out on promotion only on goal average.

Promotion, cup glory and European run

The 1980s heralded both the brightest and darkest moments in the club's history. Len Ashurst was Manager from 1978-1982, the club's most successful period. In 1980, promotion was finally achieved from the Football League 'basement', the club only being 5 points from being crowned champions. The team included a young John Aldridge who later became one of the most prolific goal scorers in English football history. This was also the year that County won the Welsh Cup, entitling them to play in the European Cup Winners' Cup the following season. The cup run turned out to be quite eventful — the first round against Crusaders of Northern Ireland was won 4-0 on aggregate (4-0 at home and 0-0 away). The second round against Haugar F.C. of Norway was even more convincing, after a 0-0 draw away, the home leg was won 6-0, taking the club into the quarter finals against Carl Zeiss Jena F.C. of East Germany. The quarter final away leg was drawn 2-2, with Tommy Tynan scoring in the 90th minute, but the club lost the home leg 0-1 in front of 18,000 fans.

Return home to Newport

After two seasons back home in Newport at Somerton Park, football politics consigned them to a further two seasons of exile at Gloucester and the club was forced to resort to legal action to protect themselves from being forced out of the English football pyramid. That litigation proved successful, a landmark High Court verdict enabling them to have a permanent home in Newport at the then newly-built Newport Stadium. The club’s first season back in Newport, in 1994-95, saw them promoted to the Southern League Premier Division by winning the Midland Division Championship.
