The FA Cup 23/24

[Master D]

Yeovil at home, should be a win but they are flying in the league so not to be taken lightly.

 

[ForzaCounty]

Aldershot away, rubbish draw given their result there yesterday and our horrendous record at their place

Great draw that. Because it's Wrexham it'll be on tv too, though maybe s4c.

FFS - Maidstone AWAY

I laughed until we got Wycombe away seconds later

 

[chief]

Fancy these for TV:

Eastleigh v Reading
Chester/York v Wigan
Aldershot v Stockport
Alfreton v Walsall
Wrexham v Yeovil (S4C & ESPN+)


Then one of Chesterfield v Orient, Wimbledon v Ramsgate or Sutton v Slough if Slough see it out.

 

[Greenacres]

Blackpool away if we can get past Scarborough...which isn't a given!

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

L1 Shrewsbury is not what I wanted but at least it's at home.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Kiss me quick.

Maidstone v Barrow is probably a candidate too

 

[THE LAST WALTZ]

Spotters at home, assuming they beat Cray.
Probably be a full house.
We are the nearest club to where most spotters live.

 

[JJ1990]

Backs to the wall for the Alex so far, but defended heroically and restricted Derby to very little in the way of clear cut chances. Then go up the other end and snatch a goal through a beautiful Adebisi cross and clinical CBR finish. Fingers crossed we can hold on.

 

[JaredSUFC]

Barnsley or Horsham at home.

So, it’s either a biggish team we’ve never played before or a local-ish team from a lower level

Not a bad draw that. Home is good given our away record. Ours has an outside chance of tv whether Barnsley or Horsham. They love a bit of Sutton history so could set us up as the underdog vs Barnsley, or as cannon fodder bottom of the table rubbish for Horsham glory.

 

[Tinpot and proud]

I'll never understand any Wrexham fan disrespecting the minutes' silence when there's a large amount of war memorials in almost every town and village in North East Wales.

Especially when you consider there were people who survived the Gresford Disaster (always impeccably observed bar for one Chester idiot a few years back) who then went to war a few years later and didn't survive that...

Rorke’s Drift alone where the most Victorian crosses ever were won is enough reason to stop morons showing disrespect !!!!!

 

[Tinpot and proud]

FFS - Maidstone AWAY

Yeah we are certainly unlucky being away yet again....but this is an easier route into a higher payday at least.

 

[Alfie]

I went after the 6th! That means I’ve left early and missed the last 5 goals we’ve scored!

Something stinks at the CG - and it’s not my guts.

[GTFCfish]

I can’t believe we only managed to draw against a team that shite.









Said Slough Town.

 

[GEORGE]

Theres something not right at the club after that. That wasn’t just a poor performance. All sorts of rumours going around - wages nor paid, trying to negotiate down current contracts, wrong ‘un trialling. We’ve all seen our clubs put in a shocker, but honestly I’ve never witnessed anything like that in 50 odd years following Swindon.

Watch this space!

I've just read your club statement and the owner states wages have been paid, club not up for sale although because of losses the club is going to re-negotiate certain contracts. Which suggests the players you have got are not good enough.

 

[Conker]

And manager.

 

[GTFCfish]

If our result and performance wasn’t embarrassing enough, then this is:

They were good enough to go 10 games unbeaten. I wouldn’t believe what statements Clem puts out. It’s all vague ‘everything is OK’, ‘there was an error’ ‘I wasn’t aware’ blah blah blah.

 

[chief]

Maidstone v Barrow is probably a candidate too

Thought I'd typed that one out. Yeah I'd agree.

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

It all seems to have gone wrong wrong every since your visit to Meadow Lane. That first half rude awakening appears to have started the downfall since.

Or could be complete coincidence, either way did not see this coming and downgrades that result a little.

 

[Indian Dan]

Don’t think the actual football has much to do with it, tbh. Our squad is tiny and stretched, add in injuries, suspensions etc and our starting XI is average at best. No team ships7 at home to a non league side just because they had an off day. Get beat, sure, but that yesterday? Nah.

Just add “Slough” and that’s one for the Tinpot thread…

And just think back to all those joyous instances of Crocombe’s Cramp last season…

 

[JJ1990]

Gutted not to be able to hold on against Derby. Defended brilliantly for the majority of the game, but we've ran out of legs and had no bench to change it whilst they've made 5 strong subs which have tipped it in their favour.

A replay isn't the worst thing in the world and we'd have probably all taken it this morning and even at HT. But to let it slip so late on is disappointing, especially when the keeper spills a simple shot in for their first.

 

[Master D]

Cray Valley is the result of the round, an 8th tier side going to League One and getting a replay.

Appleton frauding again I see. He'll be sacked and land another job soon enough.

 

[BarraMatt]

Hearing the Yellow Pages stopped printing proper copies when they realised you could watch an FA Cup First Round match and have a catalogue of tradesmen in front of you.

 

[AdamStag]

I can't say I've noticed it being a particularly Wrexham thing. Mostly remembrance silences are well observed? lots of locals will have served in the Royal Welsh or other regiments or have family members who have. Every single town in North Wales has war memorials as is the case all over the UK.

probably more to do with people being on the ale all day. Plenty of nobheads follow Wrexham unfortunately.

You’re always going to get 1 or 2 dicks do something stupid and then everyone gets tarnished with the same brush, i’m sure the vast majority of wrexham fans were as annoyed as the mansfield fans

 

[BarraMatt]

Our draw absolutely stinks of the Friday night game.
