Mick Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Have you been recently? They've had a really bad reputation since dropping in to Non-League. I obviously haven't been for years but I found them really friendly when we used to go down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

More football banning orders in place than the majority of league clubs, I believe. I'm just looking that info up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Wrexham for me - a change to get some revenge for us and Blyth (1978) The season Wrexham put us and Blyth out of the cup was the year Bobby won it with Ipswich. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says they started in the early 80's and we last played them in 1982 so it may have been after our last game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaconButty Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Wrexham's ground only has 3 sides now, I think. It's much easier to get to but we'd probably get less tickets that we'd get for Brighton. The Kop was closed maybe 4 or 5 years back. We'd probably get the stand behind the other goal which is around 3500 seats. They have a fair bunch of tossers that support them, but the frontline tends to be 15-20 year olds looking for trouble.

Decky Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Why would people rather play the much better team? Who would you rather play, Man City or Bolton? Wrexham all the way for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brighton are not Man City. Problem with Wrexham would be playing on a non-league pitch, and with the probable pressure of being televised at an odd time. Can't decide who I'd prefer tbh.

They have a fair bunch of tossers that support them, but the frontline tends to be 15-20 year olds looking for trouble. I think that's the end we used to get anyway if it's the one on the north side of the ground. Wasn't the Kop end next to the railway? I once went out on a Friday night with no intention of going to the game. I got pissed and along with a mate decided to hitch a lift down at 2am when we came out of a night club. We hitched down to the M62 and started walking along the hard shoulder until the police stopped us and were going to arrest us for walking on the motorway. I gave them some nonsense about being chased out of a motorway cafe by Man U fans so the police give us a lift into Manchester where we got the train to Chester and from Chester to Wrexham. I seem to remember walking out of the train station and walking past the main stand to the end which we were in. All in all, a 12 1/2 hour journey.

Guest bimpy474 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Brighton. Don't like playing teams from too many leagues below us. The giant killing s*** comes into effect and we play bad. It's only happened once in the last 20+ years. What about losing to Wolves 3-2 away, they were the league below us at the time just like Brighton weren't they, Stevenage, Luton, Birmingham stuffed us 1-5 at home as well.

Fenham Mag Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Either team, we will fucking hammer them. Ben Arfa against lower league opposition could provide a feast for the eyes.

bowlingcrofty Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Bad draw for us if we want 7th place in the league to become a Europa League spot.
