Its the FA Cup 'fix'
 

The FA Cup is always a magical time for Wrexham fans and it will be strange not to have the FA game on Saturday. -Having to wait until Sunday.

So if fans want the Saturday FA fix where are the nearest F A Cup 1st rounds being played ????? Always looking for a Cup shock.

Nantwich, Tranmere, Shrewsbury.

sometimes we can look back at exploits of Wrexham FC with rose tinted glasses especially the seventies if one looks at the actual records, you will see that the whole decade is peppered with cup runs of all descriptions, and they were great days with many scalps but until 1977 league positions could have been better, but the glory came from fa cup, league cup and european cup winners cup, perhaps the cup runs smoothed over the league positions in some seasons, maybe like our current season the league is now gone in fact it looks like we have a struggle not to get relegated so maybe a good cup run is what Wrexham fc and the town needs, my only reservation is the scalps that a good cup run will save

See its the old brigade of Tranmere and Shrewsbury on Saturday but my fix ,,,,,pre Rochdale has to be Nantwich Town who are a home to the mighty Fylde who play 2 leagues above the Dabbers.

30 minute down the road and witness the Dabbers first home FA 1st Round tie since they were formed back in the 1800's. Ive made enquires and there is free additional car parking available !!! to welcome visitors. Who knows a win and they play WREXHAM in round 2 !!

PS The are also advertising a bottle bar only....Whats one of those ???

I had a dream that once we beat Arsenal, must keep off that strong cheese in the evening.

Thanks Quay. Seems that they are expecting a decent crowd (for them) so the main club house bar is open - plus a separate bar for bottled beers and soft drinks.

Forward thinking, looking to make the most of a financial opportunity, genuinely catering for away fans and arranging free parking...……………….anything to be learnt here?

Good luck Nantwich - hope we go there in round two, some really good pubs to choose from.

Tranmere Rovers v Wycombe Wanderers just up the road - my lad is going with the Wirral massive - 3.00 pm KO - under 18's in for £1.

Chance to see the legendary Akinfenwa
