Incidentally saw them away at Salford City about 3 to 4 years ago. They brought quite a lot to Salford. They had playing that guy from Burton we had as a striker, name escapes me. He was on loan from Coventry and he was was truly abysmal that day.
Nailed on to be a Disney sequelHoping we get the job done in the first game! Really don’t fancy a replay at their place
Cup Winners Cup*Wrexham were UEFA cup quarter finalists in 1970s.
We aggravated Dabo’s injury just to make sure Reid didn’t enter the pitch last time out.Have we ever played a weakened side in the third round under Robins?
prehistoric hoofball parkinson?They're managed by Phil Parkinson ffs.
Robins ball will give him motion sickness.
I’m sure I’ve read somewhere that FFP doesn’t apply in the NL and teams like Wrexham can outspend L1/2 clubs.This is how I see it.
My Missus' cousin lives just outside Wrexham and has got a season ticket there this year as all his mates there are Wrexham fans and they're selling out their home games and travelling in numbers away. They'll definitely bring a good few thousand and will be a big day out for them and Wrexham can be a bit of a rough old place so no doubt they'll be a few big old North Walians happy to engage with our "coked up chavs".
Paul Mullin should be playing at a higher level and if you believe the stories he moved to Wrexham because of the "Ryan Reynolds factor" and supposedly agreed very decent wages plus also agreeing to fly him out to the States and giving him the full VIP treatment but again that could be bollocks.
Make it cheap tickets, try and get a decent crowd up there and should be a good tie!
Gyo vs a non league defensive could be fun.
Could also be the type of game a NL defender with a point to prove does Vic an injuryGyo vs a non league defensive could be fun.
This is right. They’re going to be better than most league 2 teams. It’s probably right to think of them as league 1 opposition.I’m sure I’ve read somewhere that FFP doesn’t apply in the NL and teams like Wrexham can outspend L1/2 clubs.
Your point about Mullin stacks up. Bangs 30 odd goals in L2 for Cambridge who then get promoted to L1. Drops to non-league at aged 26 rather than play L1. That’s not normal.
Not an easy fixture, looks like they’ve got a few players who should / could be playing higher.
Vic will bounce them around like they aren't even there. Blokes a fucking machine.Could also be the type of game a NL defender with a point to prove does Vic an injury
I haven’t heard that?! I mean he’s good at football…Vic will bounce them around like they aren't even there. Blokes a fucking machine.
They'll be delighted that they've been promoted twice on SBT.This is right. They’re going to be better than most league 2 teams. It’s probably right to think of them as league 1 opposition.
not really, mostly nl standard players with 1 or 2 players that could player higherThis is right. They’re going to be better than most league 2 teams. It’s probably right to think of them as league 1 opposition.
Well, Iguess we’ll find out.not really, mostly nl standard players with 1 or 2 players that could player higher
ffs if you think a non league team has a couple of championship level players you really are smoking something . If you even had mostly league 1 players you would be more than a solitary point ahead of Notts countyWrexham fan here. Looking forward to playing you, I know a lot aren’t absolutely buzzing with the draw but I think as a non league side getting to the third round, the hope is always to get one of the huge clubs but you’re setting yourself up for disappointment that way. Anything that wasn’t Boreham Wood or Chesterfield was a bonus for me.
Don’t think any of our fans are truly expecting to win, especially as our away form isn’t the best but as said above we’ve got League 1 level players for the most part, a couple could make an argument for your league but hard to gauge.
We will bring a good few for this, 5-6k does sound about right given our attendances and given your size and it seems quite easy to get to. Train strikes that weekend might put a dent in it though unless it’s moved to Sunday.
Fingers crossed tickets are fairly cheap and you get a good few in and a decent atmosphere but obviously a non league tie in the FA Cup third round isn’t that exciting. Looking forward to it anyway, any pub suggestions give me a shout, not a lot around the ground from what I’ve heard?
County are a good side with quality players themselves, the quality of the league has improved massively over the years but no point trying to convince you of anything. We’re a decent team with players from League 1 is all I’m saying.ffs if you think a non league team has a couple of championship level players you really are smoking something .

I would suggest at best top half of league 2 is about the level
yes you may beat us, as it is your cup final, and anything can happen in a one off (and we have history with lower league opposition) but to suggest you are any where near League 1 level is ludicrous

Believe me it isn’t our cup final, we’ll take a good number and it’ll be a decent day out but promotion is all that really matters, this is a nice distraction though.
Oh don’t get me wrong I don’t think this team would cut the mustard in League 1. We’d need quite a few upgrades and probably a new manager but we’ve some League 1 quality players is all I’m saying. Just be happy getting out of the NL before worrying about all that anyway.I remember when we were pissing L1 and we’re convinced half our squad would make it in the Championship. I think arguably three or four actually did. The step up is huge and players who look the business in L1 were way out of their depth at this level. Moreover the speed of the game is a different level entirely, similar I’d imagine to the step up from here to the Prem.
Got a soft spot for you guys and hope you do well and I’d expect a tough game just because you’ll play above yourselves but I think you’d be in for a shock if you just dropped your team into even L1.

Yes I think it was a great draw for us, as long as we don't lose. At home, potentially decent crowd, possible tv money, potentially interesting match and a good chance of advancing. Much better than a big day out at Spurs or Old Trafford in my view. Get through a couple of rounds and it gets far more interesting.Really good tie for us i think should be a cracking game.
They will bring more than most championship clubs would have it seems.
McCallum too.Not sure about that..
Dabo
Hyam
Fadz
Godden
Rose
Allen
O'Hare
All big players in the League 1 promotion season, and all more than capable at Championship level.
Really intriguing tie for me. A tie for the connoisseurs of the gameYes I think it was a great draw for us, as long as we don't lose.

By the sounds of it we will need to be careful and certainly not play a weakened team.
