[One Foot in the Grave]

Game only kicked off just after 8.30

SC**thorpe lead after 8 minutes. Up the Iron !

[Hugh]

So that's why it said "2 minutes gone" when I looked a few minutes back. Presumably not held up for crowd congestion?

That reminds me, technically our next 3 games are against F, F and Sc*nthorpe or  "Up At The Wrexham" (Fantasy Football League on the BBC (which is set to return according to the Sun so must be true)? "Hello I'm Dean Greygoose" too!).

So they have rested players (though I think the other J Jones is a regular). Still, I can only see this ending one way.

Wrexham 2-1 up 70 minutes

Hall-Johnson.

How many do you reckon they (or theoretically Scunny) will bring? And how annoyed will Irons supporters be if they lose on penalties tonight? Winning on penalties at Workington  in the dog walker's cup was bad enough. And that coach...

3-1 92 minutes. If they bring a weakened team to here we might have a dog's chance.

[Hugh]

To be fair they will be desperate to get promoted after missing out last season. Also they are worse away. You could be right again.

As a guide, there were 5080 at Wrexham, which was more than double any other attendance in the round, so at least we should easily get a four figure attendance.

I don't think we will get any young scrotes trying to steal a Wrecsam flag somehow,...

That's an amazing midweek early round trophy crowd . Mind you their lowest league gate was 9,113 , surprisingly against Oldham .

[Hugh]

So far as I can tell, they are basically selling out home games, and I wonder if the Oldham attendance was related to segregation or some such (and I seem to remember there were issues around the Oldham-Wrexham game).

Essentially, something akin to what happened to Swansea "Town" - who have previously averaged below what Alty got last season   
(in 1974-5) is now happening to Wrexham, and wen they finally build their new stand and are playing in the Championship, I wouldn't be surprised if they regularly sell out 16,000 odd (assuming we don't get ww3 or something first...).
