Yeah, know what you mean. Constantly confusing Robbie Savage with Jamie Carragher.

Any Wrexham fans known to be sat near me, will be reported immediately. I won't sleep tonight now. Your lack of sleep is of no worry to me buddy. But giving it large that you have got a ticket in the home end is irresponsible and if there any sat near me, they will be reported.

Or know someone who will get you a ticket! But they’d still have to apply it to a fan number whose been in the last 2 years and hasn’t already purchased one.

You will know, the fact that natural selection still has some powerlifting to do in Wrexham should give it way, the knuckles dragging on the concrete steps and grunts will be enough clues. Are you always so pleasant? So far you’ve called them knuckle draggers (twice) and inbred once just today. Are you 16? That would explain it……..

I haven’t got a ticket for the home end. Can you read? I wasnt quoting your post. If you are going to try and insinuate i am thick, then please think before you post.

"Rightly seen" are your words Liverpool cost us £500,000k , and as good as mocked us from start to finish and made things hard for us I think you are very much mistaken and might want a rethink Come on that is absolute rubbish. Im no fan of the scousers but they basically handed us a free pass into the 5th round and a tie v Chelsea and we totally blew it. We were strong favourites for that replay remember. So we can never complain about them costing us anything. I think you'll Find they were strong favourites , and even Kieran maguire ( football finance expert ) confirmed they cost us £500,000 with their antics

Block 19 first block to completely sell out by the looks. Great to see. Shout out for SS Safe Standing block 10……. Something a bit strange about 19, showing as none available but not on the colour coded plan…. Ahh 3 tickets now available 🤔

The FA announced a winter break giving them the dates before the season started. They rightly allowed players to book holidays the the FA messed up not thinking of cup replays.

We were odds on on with all bookies for the replay once their team was announced. We lost money from if the game had been televised true , but you dont get 1million split for a cup replay and we didn't lose from the gate receipts it was still a sell out. And I repeat if we had won which we should have done then we would have gained far more than half a million anyway in the next round.

Hopefully there’s still a decent atmosphere in the South Stand. Block 19 will be bouncing.

I'm hoping the south standers won't be detrimental to the atmosphere in 19, some have waited a lifetime for this and don't want to be happy clapping to shropshire senior cup and 10x grandison type songs.

I just hope its a great atmosphere and support for the team. It will never happen bit imagen the noise if 19 and s/s sang the same songs at the same time both backing the team. .

Just a quick point - they cut the ticket price to £10, and then got to deduct costs before paying 45% across, so yes the decision to field that team, and cut the ticket price did cost us money, no question. Whether we should have won or not is a different question. Think this may have gone off topic from Wrexham mind ;-) Have a great day.

You're really not that much of an attraction and you're lower league opposition after all. Yawn . Not much of an attraction? I wonder how many posts have been Wrexham-related over the last couple of years? plenty I would imagine. We've been in hysterics for the best part of 15 years over your antics

I don’t doubt Kieron Maguire, he’s incredibly well educated on football finances, but I do find the half a million claim a stretch. If we assume the ticket price had been £20 instead then an extra £10 per person multiplied by 50,000 is half a million, so deducting costs and splitting that is more like £200k. It may have been on tv if it wasn’t Liverpool youth, but again I find that doubtful as they rarely show the ties where the bigger club are at home, but that may have been another £60k/£80k. What the weakened team did do though was give us a greater opportunity of the prize money for winning the fourth round (£120k), as well as potential gate receipts from another 40,000+ crowd at Stamford Bridge and potentially tv money. So yes we lost out, but swings and roundabouts in my opinion.

Liverpool quoted Premier League players were able to insist on Tuesday but they didn't play any.

I’ve seen enough run of the mill League One victories to last a while, I think beating Wrexham in a one off cup match would be a bit sweeter & given we aren’t in an imminent danger of the drop and obviously don’t need points to maintain a playoff push, I’d choose beating Wrexham all game long.
They, on the other hand, wouldn’t. Every 3 points is massive for them as being in a promotion challenge is relentless.

Liverpool did us over in so many ways. All of the above that have been quoted. The utter gracelessness from their manager after we earned the replay (he agreed with this after the event).
The fact he didn’t play a first team (for whatever reason). The refusal to have it on TV. The fact that our tickets had to be collected from Everton because they couldn’t find a table. The offside VAR decision for our goal. And, if my memory serves me correctly, didn’t they actually go through on an own goal?
There were just so many things that were distasteful and I’m sure there are others I haven’t thought of.
Loathsome bunch and just so typical of the Premier League.

We couldn’t have really asked for much more than playing league two sides in all the first three rounds of the cup, albeit that Notts County and Wrexham are far from ordinary league two sides. I feel like you’d have to go back to pre-2010 to find the last time we lost in the FA Cup to a side in a lower division? Hopefully that continues.

Ahh 3 tickets now available 🤔 I've heard a lot of safe standing have exchanged for block 19, odd behaviour. There might have been a few who went for 19 because until a couple of days ago Safe Standing was showing as pretty much sold out with only isolated spots available, so if you wanted to go with some friends who weren't ST holders 19 was at that point the only place to easily get together. Was certainly the case for me.
