Wrexham Away (3 Viewers)

Earlsdon-Loyal-Blue · Tuesday at 11:59 PM

Living in Chester (with a ST and 1500 points) and this being the closest game of all (only 11 miles away) since the days of Crewe away, I’m hoping to get a ticket via a friend on 1800 but that looks really unlikely! Was hoping to get my Chester Sky Blues flag out in the ground too.

Really not sure how I’ve fallen so far back like many others, when I’ve had a ST since before ST Andrews and plenty of points.

Looks like hospitality is out of the question too.

That's the problem; it's a 3 years rolling total, and the ST Andrew's points have fallen away. unless you go to pretty much every game you/I are never going to get back into that top bracket, whilst those who attend every game purchase tickets for evert game. To be fair, it is only ever likely to affect (at most) a couple of games a season. If we did go up, it would probably affect less games, due to away allocations (bar Bournemouth!). Whilst I will go to home FA Cup games, such as Boreham Wood, Maidstone etc, I refuse to buy away tickets that I'm not going to, just to accrue points. I'm just shy of 1600.

One of our group is on 2000+ and he 100% doesn’t go to every away game and in fact last season was only at a handful… so he’s either been buying the tickets to collect the points and not mentioning he’s got a spare ticket or he’s been chatting someone up in the ticket office not to remove previous seasons points!

TBH lots of Wrexham fans around here (that I didn’t see before Covid) have been crowing that they will turn the league over and will beat us, so that’s the main driving point for me wanting to go alongside locality.

If they offered any hospitality packages (I can’t see any as it stands) I’d be happy to put in for it if anyone on here is also keen for it.

I also believe that the last year included in this years points was the last year that you earned extra points the more tickets you bought for a game so if you paid for 4 home tickets on your account you would get 40 points.

I know a couple of people on 1600+ due to this that go to no more than 2 or 3 away games each year.

These will drop off next season.

Yeah, it's weird. We didn't go to Millwall away in the League, did the Cup, and my son said that was the first away game we'd missed since Swansea away at the beginning of February.

We're mid 1900s, so hoping that they'll still be some left for the second window. Would love to know how many are in each bracket.

I didn't know that was ever a thing tbh

I'm sure you'll be fine at the 1900 bracket!

Neither did I to be honest but im sure it was mentioned on here before at some point and when I spoke to one of the people they confirmed they used to buy multiple tickets on their account so it defo makes sense.

I know it started at a lower points bracket but what did somewhere like Luton get down to last season? Based off nothing but vibes I reckon this sells out at 1800+

Just had a look and we got 1,342 for Luton in April and it started at 1900+, looks like it sold out in the 1800+ bracket so assume this will be the same

I reckon a lot more club insiders and friends / family etc will want to go with it being not only new to most, but the whole Hollywood / Disney thing so there are less genuinely available than the allocated numbers.

Yes hence the lower allocation. Once completed they will have about a further 8000 behind the goal

5500 the capacity of the new stand is

That explains a lot, as although I only attend about a third of away games, I go to most cup games, and am only on 1570. Rarely do midweek away due to family commitments, although may have more scope going forward.

Changing her job, son at Uni - better not push my luck, but potential for a bit of negotiation

Best start the bidding, I’ll pay 3x face value for a ticket for this with it being just down the road.

I remember we played them around 1993 or 94 in the league cup and the old Victorian stand that stood prior to that one was derelict.

I was at that game, only time i've been there so looking forward to this.

Well initially 5500 but they originally had permission to also build a small second tier to take it to 7500. Planning conditions may be the reason they can't open this initally , until parking infrastructure etc. is upgraded. I think there is a bit of uncertainty amongst Wrecsam fans about the final capacity for this stand..
