If MR puts the kids in we will struggle but a mixture of more first teamers than U23s we should be ok as long as they are mentally prepared and don't think they just have to turn up to win.Who cares about 4k Wrexham fans coming it's a great fixture for them and a free hit and if you go or don't it's your choice.

So the prospect of yet another humiliation in front of nearly 5000 Welsh enjoying their best ever day out hasn’t exactly energised me.

Well that's the most depressing statement I've ever read being a Wrexham fan - our best day out EVER...!

Honestly hope they have a good day out, we all relish a big cup tie. Just hopefully not too good.

What happens happens

Like I said earlier in this thread, there's a big excuse culture within the wider fanbase/the city itself.

Last week it was too expensive. They've made the game incredibly affordable and no one wants to go.

The other week it's to do with a lack of atmosphere and away support.

Years back it was because there was nowhere to drink before the game. There's plenty of options now.

A lot of people in this city won't go unless they are given a free ticket, we are playing at Wembley or it's a fiver in the JPT.

Look at Wasps. Came in and gave tickets away and the people of Coventry jumped all over it. The moment they took them away and the bandwagon finished, people didn't want to know.

I've been critical of the points system but if we ever managed to get into the PL, the points amassed will add up and getting a ticket away at Villa will be difficult for people who don't go to games like this.

I have had a season ticket for 45 of the last 50 years. I think it’s a glorified friendly and a bit shit

I did at Cardiff this season, well stood on the standing bit.
All about getting tickets off mates when available, my son is living near Dorchester so he ordered them for the cup game

I too have a season ticket and really couldn't give a fuck about this game

Just can't get excited for it, I want us to win but as for going to the game? Nah, Did the Kidderminster home game in the cup back in our last spell in the Championship and that put off shitty 3rd round games at home to small clubs on a day out.

I don't think anyone is excited for it, which is why it's £13

He’s either going to get kicked to shit or will bang a hat trick. Hopefully the latter.

Could be important to get the 100k from winning if Doug deal isn't going to happen

I suspect if the doug deal doesn’t happen then there’ll be admin or a fire sale anyway.

I go to watch CCFC, not the opposition and I think the club have priced it right for the time of year but hey ho

Maybe if we get some movement on off the pitch developments tomorrow more people may be tempted to go

I might come up for this and see family for a beer, and the wife wants to see Ryan Reynolds!

Remember this is Wrexham's cup final....they have done well so far and want to pull off a shock. This is CCFC afterall....

The fact that you drink red wine with curry tells us all we need to know

My nephew purchased 3 adult tkts online the other day but my boy (u13) wants to go now.
Can't buy a child tkt online without an adult tkt.
What chance do you think of capitalising on the £2 offer on matchday if we present the e-ticket as proof of adult purchase on the gate or tkt office?
Have emailed and rang ticket office but surprise surprise - No reply.

Can't see it being an issue.

This is FA Cup 4th roud, it isn't a friendly at all. By the way I'm not telling you or anyone else that they 'should' attend this or any other game, that's up to the indiviual. I just absolutely dispute that this is a friendly, glorified or otherwise. There is a big prize for the winner

My mates wife is going to tomorrow’s game and she absolutely hates Football, she’s only going for the chance to see Ryan Reynolds but I think she will be disappointed.

No I can’t agree, start them and bring them off when/if we have a decent lead. It’s no good chasing a game.

Surely they'll bring him off the bench if they're one down with fifteen to go?

£105,000 and a 4th round tie at stake. It’s no friendly at all, ridiculous suggestion.
