Cheers Flynny.
Just ordered a couple

No e-tickets, no cash entry - they can f**k right off. I'll go elsewhere.

Still awaiting the new millennium in Wrecsam.

We’ve almost completely sold out our allocation according to the Wrexham forum. Very good effort
-
Well, however you had to get them we’ve sold out our allocation of 400 tickets anyway which is a good effort by us & also shows how the club is growing-no way at anytime in the recent past we’d take 400 to an away end of season dead rubber-even a local one. Just goes to show what our away support could also be if the league wasn’t so slanted to the South. IIRC we took 400 to Halifax & 800 to Stockport too. I’ll be there & really looking forward to it.
Will be a very tall order tomorrow but I feel for various reasons both on & off the pitch we played Wrexham at exactly the wrong time from our POV at Xmas. I know the players are bang up for it tomorrow & feel confident we’ll give them a good game.

1-2 to us

Turns out to be a nightmare in the park and an uncomfortable 0-4 loss.

Tony Thompson (c), Dan Mooney, Elliot Osborne, Jordan Hulme, Ryan Colclough, Matty Kosylo, Harry Perritt, Kyle Ferguson, Toby Mullarkey, Eddy Jones, Isaac Marriott. Subs: Jake Moult, Josh Hancock, Jake Cooper, Ben Pringle, Andy White.

Come on you Supers! 🏆
We always get something from international matches. 🤞🙏😘👍

Bubble burst in just 3 minutes ☹️

Never really believed we'd get something there. The only thing we have to do now is keep the faith and keep together for the remaining games which are winnable.
As long as this doesn't knock the stuffing out of the lads (and I don't believe it will) we've still got an excellent chance of finishing in the top half.

agreed. 10K plus crowd today. Stockport and Wrexham are operating at a different level.

I don't know how bad Jordan Hulme's injury is, but it's worth noting that Kole Hall scored, hit the post, and won MOM for Nantwich this afternoon. Do we have a recall option ?
-
Outclassed in the first half - they absolutely blew us away with the 3rd and 4th goals in particular being clinical as you like - although we didn't help ourselves by giving the ball away in ridiculous positions.
On a positive note, we played with a bit more zip once Ben Pringle came on - although they'd probably declared long before that point anyway.
90 minutes of crap from their fans behind the goal and you could hear a pin drop when news came through of Stockport's late winner - that was brilliant ;D

It's a bit like the gap between the two big Glasgow clubs and the rest of the clubs. My respect for county has grown over their non league years. I want them to go up because they deserve it and because it will level the league up a tad. Scunny and probably Oldham are miles off the positions county and Wrexham are in off the pitch.
-
I think both clubs are bigger than their current situations and have both 'done their time' in non-league.
As you say, if they both go up it will level the league a little.
-
Well, that was a hard watch. I honestly thought with our recent good run & the benefit of a settled team (unlike when we played them at Xmas) that we’d give them a good match but some flaky defending was ruthlessly punished by their League 1 standard strike force & we had our pants comprehensively pulled down in the first half. The positives that we kept our shape, discipline & worked hard in the second half to restrict it to 4 but they had the cigars out by that point. Have to say that for me unfortunately there was a big drop off in our hold up play when Hancock came on & that for me he’s been a legend but he is increasingly a bit-part player for us at this level now.
From what I have seen of the sides around the top, County & Wrexham are absolutely miles ahead of the rest. That yard quicker, stronger, fitter, ruthless in the box. Just a real shame two of our biggest away followings of the season have seen us get demolished at Edgeley Park & the Racecourse. Still that’s what millions of pounds does for you. I could see both going straight through to League 1 before long too.
Wrexham off the pitch needs some attention though. The ground visually looks very dilapidated from the outside & one small snack kiosk for 400 away fans in a ground that big isn’t great. The tedious yoof in the corner nearest the away end with their cliched repotoire about ‘Alty get battered’ etc need a new songbook too.

Beaten today by a good team, who in fairness have a massive budget be it in this league or the two leagues above us.
I thought Kyle Ferguson was superb today and really hope that Phil can manage to get him to sign a contract (I expect his Dad will have an input into whether or not that happens).. once we lost Jordon then we were always going to struggle to keep possession. Hanks has been a great player for us but I do believe that he struggles at this level. TT is a great shot stopper but how long can we accept that his distribution is really poor and it does put the team on the back foot.. Kossy yet again ran his heart out, as did Marriott.. I prefer White to Jones at left back.
I too thought the Racecourse ground was very tired looking, the snack bar was a joke and the toilets were disgusting.
Whatever course Alty takes in the future re ground development please keep the option to stand up and watch the game.
Wealdstone up next, let’s put this one into the history book and look forward to next Saturday and getting back to winning ways
It would be nice if we could get Connor Kirby to attend next Saturday as it was at Wealdstone where he got injured and the Wealdstone club very kindly raised a great amount of money to help the lad.
PS. So glad to see Stockport score a late winner. The silence in the Home terraces was deafening.
Onwards & Upwards.

I guess the issue with Wrexham's ground is that the University own it, so as tenant's Wrexham will do very little. Th Kop end has planning permission applied for but this will go through the Uni first.
My daughter bought four tickets for the game from Alty which we printed off, the Wrexham stewards seamed clueless when we pointed out that the tickets were without seat number ?? only the good natured Alty following enabled us to find a seat.
PS The steward wasn't the "tool" who through the ball away :P

Surprised you were allowed in with self-printed tickets. At Wrexham’s insistence everyone was supposed to have paper tickets which were to be collected from the club. I guess that the fact we allowed them to be paid for online confused matters.
-
Thanks for the info, we just handed the tickets in at the turnstile (should we have collected tickets from Alty or the Wrexham ticket office maybe?).
-
As has been said elsewhere, both Stockport and Wrexham are streaks ahead in this league and their promotion will be deserved, if/when if happens. Tend to disagree with the comments re. stadium; it generated a decent atmosphere and I bet the Wrexham players love playing there. Need to put this behind us now and look to Saturday when I win is a realistic possibility.

I kinda get what people are saying; it needs a bit of a facelift in parts but the infrastructure (and pitch side experience) are decent enough.
I'm definitely in agreement about player performances, too - as much as I'd love some of these young lads to stick with us and become our next assets like Joel was, Eddy Jones very much looked like a boy playing mens football and I agree we looked more solid when Andy White came on. Again, as much as it pains me to say it, Josh has looked out of his depth at times over the past couple of years but maybe I'm being harsh given the opposition he was up against today.
-
Yes, I remember the debate about whether Kosylo or Hancock should start at number 10. That's been answered emphatically. Asking Hanks to play as a stand-in 9 hasn't met with much success and, sadly, you could be right about him.
As for White, I assumed he was being rested for the winnable games coming up and would certainly make him first choice if available.
Connor Hampson seems to have faded from contention completely and I sadly expect him to be one of those on their way at the end of the season.

That Steward who chucked the ball away was a first class nobhead. If brains were mountains he would be “The Death Valley”

I wondered if White had been left on the bench due to the closeness of the Halifax game considering he isn’t long back after a lengthy layoff.

I was going to start a separate thread on absentees...
What's the current prognosis on Connor and also Brad Jackson - I assumed they were both still on the treatment table?
Also, I know it's always tempting to ring the wholesale changes following a respunding defeat, and I'd get it completely if we stick to our guns - however I think Jake Cooper has looked decent for us and it might be good to see him alongside Kyle Ferguson - with Toby rested (he's played a lot of games) or possibly even moved to right back with Harry Perritt moved into the base of the midfield again.

I had a chat with Brad on Friday and he says his injury feels ok but the scan showed it is still not right so I expect
it’s a time job on him and he will have to be patient.

Brad Jackson is not up to top half Conference football, so like many others I'd chalk him off a bit like Craig Mahon in replacement of JJ and get after a decent fullback

We signed him as a winger.....

I think Brad would be a useful addition to the first team squad as long as he can stay injury free.
-
I like Brad Jackson - he's an old school winger, built well and with pace to burn, offers something different to our current starters - Chester considered him one of their star players when they pushing up into the higher reaches of the National League North.
But we're going to have to make a call on whether we can keep him fit sufficiently enough to justify keeping him on the books.
Same with Connor, sadly. The backroom team will have a good gauge on whether their injuries are pure misfortune or potentially something longer term.

Meeting with many Wrexham fans this week at work I expected some stick, however they were nothing but complementary about our following and the backing we gave our team.
Nice to hear.
