Which clearly goes to prove something

I feel like a spy up here but Leyton Orient and Ricketts are the main concerns at present.

I had to resurrect this thread as I am so chuffed about our 3-1 win tonight and can't wait for saturday. Great that the midfield is ticking over.

Anyone have an update on how many tickets we've sold for Wrexham?

Quiz: Who scored our consolation goal when we lost 1-6 the last time we played Wrexham in a cup match at The Racecourse?

Gary Shepherd.

Can’t believe we’ve only sold around 400 tickets. I thought we’d easily take 900-1000

3pm ko and we might have done but the problem of getting home from Town at about 1-2am has put loads of us off.

That's about what I would expect with no train back and the match on TV.
I assume you're one of the 400.

They all think they're going to win up here despite not scoring in the last 2 games. At the same time they are concerned about their lack of sharp strikers.

Whereas Matt and Amond have scored 21 between them so far. Goals win games.

One of my best memories of ROUND 2 matches was in December 1978 on a Monday night in the fog aat Worcester.They were expecting to beat us after drawing at Somerton Park. We ground out a 2-1 win after extra time and went on to beat West Ham in the third round.I could be wrong and won't compete with New Ground Rodney but I think we have fared better in ROUND 2 than Round 1 (this could be mathematically impossible). Anyhow I'm sticking with 2-2 and a win in the replay.

Dare I raise the possibility of the Wrexham pitch not being playable today. Lots of rain during the last few days and more to come today?

Good drainage:very few postponements.
