It’s their cup final. Can see them getting a result too, unfortunately.

Should be a good atmosphere.

Looking at the ticketing website, family stand has a few seats left. Tickets selling in Upper Ninian, only two blocks not open yet - expect they'll open if tickets continue to sell.

We got about 27k for Lincoln last season (our highest league crowd of the season) and well on course to beat that. Should be at least 30k.

I would have been disappointed if they hadn’t.. .. they on the rise.. living the dream.. so expect them to sell out every game..
plus when was it last time they played inThe Capital..
Detest them as a club ..always thought they were something they were not.

People seem to as you say "detest them" but only because they are relatively successful at the moment & because of the tv show they are involved with. Up until the tv show there is barely a person on here that has given them a first thought never mind a second thought since the 70s/80s. Success before this was being in the old 3rd division & playing us in the very odd FA cup game on the very rare occasions that they got past the 2nd round.

Not too far for them to travel.

Turn off Disney and get in a car from Bridgend, Ponty, Swansea, Cardiff, Newport, Bristol, etc....

I will be honest I’m jealous, as I wish we had their owners and not ours.

But I don’t like that the majority of their fans are Everton, Liverpool and Man United

I'm not jealous of them. Always said that I don't want high profile owners, that's why I was so against the Bale thing.

They're having success and fair play to them, but just my personal opinion that I wouldn't want it. Problem they'll have is when they get to the PL.

The top clubs have managed to get all the other clubs to vote for a financial system that means nobody can break into their little club like Man City did. Newcastle have found that out and why they've had to sell their best players.

Thought the last time they were down here was on a Friday night when Gabbs picked up the ball in his own half and scored a worldy. Think they had bout 350 that night and to be fair had decent away followings in the conference before the Hollywood money

My point is it's not either/or.

When and if Tan sells, I would prefer he sells us to someone unknown than a media circus - even if it meant we had less money.

Re: I’m Def Impressed / How times change big time

When I was younger, Cardiff were a division 3 team and most people I was in school with were Man U, Liverpool, Leeds fans etc.

As we went up the tables they became dual fans, Cardiff and one of the others, and when we had the premiership spell they were “die hard” Cardiff fans.

I’m not saying they haven’t fully converted, but success brings enjoyment and can encourage loyalty from them.

For a neutral it’s a great watch, and it’s leaving a soft spot in people’s minds when they’re near Wrexham they’ll want to pop in and watch a game. I can’t see why anyone would think it’s a bad thing. The feel good factor is massive for attracting clubs

Ye but their owners?have got them better sponsorship deals etc,tan has stripped our identity,told more lies time and time again,debt free etc,and their owners actually care about the community and stuff,and I think you go on about the circus but it’s a good way their putting Wrexham on the map,and I wish we had owners like that

I still remember and laugh at it now!

I appreciate that's your preference, but mine is that no amount of success or financial benefits would make me want high profile owners. Just don't like it.

They are having success and fair enough.

Impressed ??? Look what they have done over the last 5 years and the TV coverage and "Fan Base " they have got .
A Club with a plan and stuck by their manager - not afraid to spent and lose main players to go forward .
Time to show some respect and they have done more than the Jacks in that time and Us .
Having said that - Hope WE Beat both of them :bluebird: :bluescarf:

Reynolds and McElhenney are pretty much the gold standard for football club owners. They respected the history from day one, re-bought the Racecourse Ground, poured money into the community, and used the documentary to turn Wrexham into a global brand.

They got unbelievably lucky; without that takeover, Wrexham would likely still be languishing in lower-league obscurity rather than climbing through the EFL.

You are spot on. I doubt anyway can a better owner, they on a level if not higher than jack walker was at Blackburn for what they have done for the club.


It can hardly be described as a circus, we can though just look at the pictures foreverblue used to put up.

You have to praise them, doesn't mean I want them.
