Where are the floodlights ?

In the Harkers pub. Where are people drinking? Few Wrexham fans in punch bowl spoons

You'll see them better when they switch them on

@wrexhamfan: Just seen the #wrexhamfc team coach searching the streets for a parking spot. Good luck: last time I parked here I got a ticket!

TOP-OF-THE-TABLE Wrexham will travel to York City tomorrow with a miserable record of just one win from their last 28 league visits to Bootham Crescent.

A total of 18 home wins have been racked up in that 53-year period of North Yorkshire clashes between the two teams with a 1-0 win in February 1995 proving the Welshmen’s solitary success during more than half a century of fixtures.

Prior to the mid-90s, you have to trawl back to March 1958 for the Dragons’ last league victory at the home of the Minstermen in an old Third Division North encounter.

From their last eight trips, the one-time European Cup Winners’ Cup quarter-finalists have taken just three points from a possible 24 but will kick off tomorrow’s match with a reputation as the Blue Square Bet Premier’s best travellers this season.

Wrexham have won seven and drawn one of their nine fixtures on the road with Barrow (3-1) the only home side so far in 2011/12 to take maximum points against the Welsh team.

Andy Morrell’s men have also prevailed in four consecutive matches on their travels, defeating Grimsby (3-1), Gateshead (4-1), Hayes & Yeading United (2-0) and Luton (1-0), while a record of just seven away goals conceded can only be matched by Forest Green, surprisingly.

Captain Dean Keates will still be sidelined for tomorrow’s match and fellow midfielder Jamie Tolley remains doubtful with a back problem.

Both players missed last weekend’s 2-1 FA Cup victory over the Minstermen but Lee Fowler could be recalled to the starting line-up after marking his comeback from knee surgery as a second-half substitute in that tie.

Ex-Coventry City and Scarborough midfielder Fowler completed 74 minutes of the reserves’ 4-2 victory over a youthful Manchester City XI this week and may be in line to replace the inexperienced Johnny Hunt.

Danny Wright got one of the reserves’ goals and is also challenging central lone striker Mathias Pogba for his starting place after being withdrawn just past the hour mark against the Premier League hopefuls.

Since City’s visit to the Racecourse Ground last Saturday, Morrell has been appointed as the Dragons’ manager on a permanent basis after a successful nine-game caretaker spell in which he has won seven matches following Dean Saunders’ departure for Doncaster Rovers.

The player-boss was also named October’s Manager of the Month this week.
