Going into the season everyone thought Salford were going to romp it, that they had the title already showed up. Well they're in the mix but they certainly aren't the runaway favourites everyone had them pinned down to be. They're beatable.
Its looking likely the crowd is going to be touching 8k, we need all need to play out part and make the racecourse as hostile as possible to Salford, cheer every misplaced pass, every wayward shot, every turnover in possession andsot importantly back out players on the pitch, we know where we're lacking but nothing can be done until January so let's give the players that have gotten us in the mix full backing from the off!
COYR!!!

Well said. Every team is beatable. On paper, Salford have a good side and like you said, should be running away with it. If we beat them, it blows the title race wide open again!

Are the club, planning on opening the Tech End lower for this match, with a crowd of about seven thousand expected, it would certainly boost the atmosphere. If not, it makes you wonder if it will ever be used, for a normal Wrexham league game, and the top of the table clash with Salford, would be the ideal time to use this section.

I doubt it - not unless the rest of the ground looks a sell out.

Unless planned it would require additional resources - more stewards and with 3 days to go I think it will remain unoccupied - could perhaps be used as an overspill area similar to the 150 year match v Grimsby if the club have planned for this possibility - shouldn't rule it out as boxing day matches tend to attract unexpectedly high crowds.

They will have no choice but to open the Tech End paddock if the upper stand is full which I expect it to be.

Sensible.With only the Mold end paddock out of use for Boxing Day ,the capacity will be around 10,000 (Official capacity around 10,700 seats)

Biggest crowd since Tranmere (8,400 ?)

Seriously wonder how many Salford will bring.

They hit about 1900 home fans last time out v Dagenham.

According to their official site their coaches are fully booked - but that could mean just the one or two.

Suppose we will just have to wait and see how many of their 1200 seat allocation gets taken.

Promises to be an electric noisy atmosphere.
