The SFA cover costs for this, use it for fringe and youth players and everyone's happy.

Ultimately you have to trust the manager because it’s his neck on the chopping block if this competition affects our league campaign.

I think Spencer and Darlington will go out to win this competition,can just see the team and management on a open top bus in mid march parading the Tunnocks Caramel wafer Cup through the streets of Wrexham,with a few happy clappers watching on

The myth of cups sending league campaigns off the rails is blown up when you look at how many go deep in league and FA Trophy campaigns together, and if it looks like it might distract there will be changes aplenty. It’s not anything to get annoyed about.

Well said. Some of you on here have delusions of grandeur. Chances are if we draw a Scottish side away the distance to travel will be far less than it is to Dover.

....and there'd still be more there than there were Jester fans turning up outside the Town Hall to save their club.

Anyone got that photo ? Makes me chuckle every time I see it.:crampe

There was no open topped bus this time but at the end of the LDV win/relegation season and they paraded the trophy at the Guildhall. The number of us on Llwyn Isaf for that was pretty bleak.

Does the manager still go? Do we still have to postpone games?

There is a big difference between playing relevant football matches in proper competitions and worthless ones in made up nonsense that is beyond worthless.
