Fan openly admits he hates Wrexham + Wrexham are moving up the leagues + Wrexham is the club everyone is talking about = envy.
This must be really getting to you, Martin. Don’t worry, we’re going to be fine. Wob and Wyan really are here for the long haul I’m afraid.

Back to the game. It’d be great to back up the Orient win with a result at Wrexham. They are obvious favourites given their financial backing and strong start. It’d give us some much needed confidence.
Any news on Feeney mk II? Also does anyone know if Nolan is still training with us?

We need to score first to make any sort of game of it.
Score first we have a chance, go behind and it could be a very long afternoon in second place.

I just have to post on here to try and explain Wrexham finances and R&R loyalty. These guys are in this for the long haul and are already putting into place the ground redevelopment plan to double capacity.FFP this comes up all the time Wrexham will have to reduce spending and sell players its a favourite topic among rival clubs Wrexham have sponsorship of over £20 million plus revenue of over £5million from merchandise,.Ticket sales which are a sell out every week, TV money, For a league one club we generate more cash than any club in the league than maybe Birmingham. While we are taking more money in than players wages, transfer fees, we will be just fine. All premiership clubs run at a loss it's the TV money that keeps them solvent when clubs overspent what they taking in that's FFP as Villa did and had to sell a player to avoid fines and points deduction. We are at the moment fine and talks are already in the pipeline to get major American investors with. £billions in the bank to become a part of Wrexham FC. This will not stop until the achievement of the Premiership is reached be it 5,10,20 years time it will happen Bournemouth get along ok in that league can't see why another club with the same outlook doing this. Look forward to Saturday and as I have lots of Shrewsbury relatives who are fans of the club I wish you well and get out of the present low position but not 3pm Saturday afternoon.

Firstly, I haven’t bothered clicking on your link because I see your source of information is the Post. They burnt bridges with Wrexham fans many years ago when they decided to back the wrong horse, that being Mark Simon Guterman. You may well be right when you say I’m talking rubbish, but you may not. Opinions. There’s certainly a generation of Wrexham fans aged 25 and under for whom the Shrewsbury ‘rivalry’ means very little. Three of my sons are aged 17-25, and they have no feelings of any kind towards your club. Hardly surprising given we haven’t played each other in the league for so many years. Take a look on Red Passion. Flak towards Chester and banter with Stockport fans is prevalent. Up until this week, any mention of Shrewsbury has been non-existent. Now take this forum…..perhaps there’s a strong rivalry between the two clubs but it’s pretty much one way. Who knows? Perhaps it’s a generational thing. Tell you something though, don’t use the Post as a source of evidence to back up your argument. Apologies for offending you with daring to post a link to the daily post, but if you'd have bothered to read it you'd have seen the source of the poll was from users from Red Passion.... |

The irony is this season I've seen quite a lot of things on forums/social media where Wrexham fans are mocking Stockport fans and their attempts to create a rivalary, it's one way, no-one cares about them and (in some cases) telling them their derby this season is Shrewsbury. And yet here we are, one fan telling us the game isn't a big deal and Stockport is considered a bigger rivalry. But anyway, yes, clearly the game is just another game for Wrexham and definitely isn't a derby - www.leaderlive.co.uk/sport/24562194.wrexham-unbeaten-league-one-going-shrewsbury-derby/ |

Tbh I wouldn't be wearing colours to an away derby anyway, and so long as you're not doing that anyone on the door/bar won't really know whether you're a Wrexham or Town fan and you should be able to get in anywhere
If all else fails, make yourself look like a slack-jawed moron who doesn't know anything about Wrexham's history pre-2021 and you'll pass perfectly as a Wrexham fan.

It is Crucial that Hurst finds a system to give extra protection to our right and left backs to counter Wrexham's wingers,
I expect Wrexham to come out of the blocks and throw everything at us including the kitchen sink ,to see if we cave in and they get an early goal
We have to get through the first twenty minutes and not let them score otherwise it is going to be a very long 90 minutes.
Perry and Winchester are going to have to work there socks off as holding midfielders, I'm not sure how Winchester will cope with Wrexham's physicality
It will be a tough test for Castledine, O Reilly and Lloyd who must try to take some of the pressure of the holding midfielders and defence.
Town will have to work very hard in a physical game, we must press all over the park and towns ball distribution and retention needs to improve.

Who’s saying it’s not a rivalry? I’m saying that for some Wrexham fans the Shrewsbury game isn’t as big a deal as others. It’s just not. For some Wrexham fans Saturday is the biggest game of the season and they see you as huge rivals. For many fans it’s another game and I’ve explained the reason for that already.
It should be a cracking atmosphere, but then that’s the case for all our home games. Our players will certainly respond to it and if your lads do too then we’re in for a great game.

It’s going to be fascinating to see how each manager plays it. We’re at our best when the opposition dominate possession. I’m expecting Hurst to tell his players to take the sting out of the game. Take an eternity on throws etc. Frustrate Wrexham as much as possible for the first 20-30 minutes. |

Classic downplaying of the importance of the rivalry, because the pressure is all on you. Moneybags Wrexham at home to cash-strapped Shrewsbury. “We aren’t that bothered. Honest.” “But, but, but we hate Chester more. Even Stockport.” “None of our young fans even remember the rivalry, I swear down.” |

There’s no other option really. Think he’ll want to keep Gilliead and Perry in the middle after last weekend as well. |

Look at the comments made about Wrexham until very recently….pub side, will struggle in L1, poor defence. I’d say it’s the other way round. For years you’ve mocked us and suddenly you’re playing the underdog card. No pressure at all on us. You need the points far more than we do. |

And then there’s the ‘Wrexham always bottle it’ jibe. We were non-league 15 months ago and 6 of our starting XI vs Posh on Saturday played in our last non-league game vs Torquay. Suddenly these players are on another level to yours. No way. You’re an established L1 side and we’re back at this level after an absence of 17 or so years. You should be looking to turn us over, surely.

It is the same for alot of Shrewsbury fans of the similar age. My nephew is 26 and never really seen the rivalry, obviously heard it from me but I think he's the exception of fans of that age and below but they will soon realise that's it always a great atmosphere and hopefully a good game |

As they say "money talks"...I do honestly believe wrexsham were heading for the national league north,before they were taken over.... someone must have a final table of where wrexsham finished back in 2018/19 was it....they were near the bottom,and freefalling.
