Re: Your worst ever Wrexham game.
Newport at Wembley.
Accrington Stanley at home in 06/07 season, think it was New Year’s Day, got beat 3-1, Josh Johnson scored, they were 22nd in the league, we were horrific. Don’t know why but this game sticks in my head over 10 years later! |

Lost 5-0 and could barely see beyond the penalty area as they seemed to be using a 60 watt bulb in the floodlights. After Newport that's the one that sticks out. |

Re: Your worst ever Wrexham game.
Exeter away(sometime early 90's I'm guessing). 4 of us in a car planning to stop down there on the Saturday night but the game was that bad we came straight home instead. Got walloped 4 or 5 nil (think we had a trialist in goal) and got a parking ticket for parking in a residential area which cost us tenner each.

We then followed that one up with a 5-2 defeat away at Stockport County! Tough times. |

Re: Your worst ever Wrexham game.
Bradford City away in the cup , possibly late sixties, drove from Ruthin to Wrexham early morning skidding all over the place on snow and ice. Special train from Wrexham (remem,ber them?) escorted from station to ground.
Game started Dave Carrick (?) put us 1-0 up , scenes of great joy , lost 7-1 miserable frozen walk back to the station. Tricky drive back to Ruthin. All part of being a red. |

He locked out so many Wrexham fans and wouldn't allow the TV cameras into the ground. Years later Bob 'the butcher' Lord was even there to present the Third Div trophy to Wrexham - the cheek of it - he should have been barred from The Racecourse. You are quite correct , had the Town won the match they would have made it to Wembley that year. Bob Lord also had a part to play in the demise of Accrington. Horrible man. Tinpot club. Dirty old Mill town. Get my message? |

Re: Your worst ever Wrexham game.
Another memory from the horror's of history.
FA Cup replay - think it would have been back in the 1980's. Snatched a late goal for a 2 - 2 draw at little Runcorn. In the replay we were leading 2 - 1 at the Racecourse, only to lose 2 - 3. Never felt so brassed off at the time - can still see those Runcorn players in yellow & green celebrating. |

Re: Your worst ever Wrexham game.
Toss up between the FA Cup QF defeat to Chesterfield and the PO Final defeat to Newport.
If I try to think back , it took me longer to get over the Chesterfield game.To have played Middlesborough at Old Trafford in front of 60,000 in the semi would have a been the stuff of dreams and I actually think we'd have beaten 'Boro.They were there for the taking |

Re: Your worst ever Wrexham game.
Here's a clip of the Runcorn home defeat in November 88.
Good to hear the voice of Gerald Sindstadt again. In those days we seemed to be more 'together' with the north west clubs - lots of close derby matches and Tv coverage by Granada and 'Saint & Greavsie etc. https://youtu.be/RfpXFCkwO7o |
