There’s not a chance that this will cost the club to play the fixture. Stadium contract already agreed, players contracts agreed. Revenue from probably about 12000 fans including many paying extra to sit in the lounges at £25 a pop, Wrexham fans on the pop and a wedge of TV money .
Only significant extra costs are security.
Plus a win means …..more££££

Wrexham very excited by the looks of it

Wrexham players unimpressed with "whatever" FA Cup opponents

Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney-owned Wrexham have been drawn against Championship Coventry in the FA Cup third round but Ollie Palmer isn't overly excited about the tie
www.mirror.co.uk

Wrexham striker Ollie Palmer admits their non league players are unimpressed about being sent to Coventry.
The National League promotion chasers today visit the Championship Sky Blues, who won the FA Cup in 1987. But Palmer admits Phil Parkinson's side, who are second in the fifth tier, would much rather have had either a home tie or a top-flight club.
Palmer, 30, who has 12 goals this term, told the Mirror: “Coventry isn’t overly appealing to the lads to be honest. “You either want a big Premier League club away or get drawn at home. “Everything in between in League One or Championship is a bit like: whatever.

Mostly agree, except it doesn't rest Bidwell though, who has played almost every minute in just about the most demanding position, so I would expect him to get a (well deserved) rest.

Fair play to him, if a Championship side came in for him I guess that would be “Whatever” aswell then.

Won't be overly appealing when Gyökeres comes on at half time and scares the shit out of him.

There's Robin's pep-talk written for him.

Footballers are a stupid breed. Although he's being truthful, saying something like that can't be good for anyone. Sounds like they aren't bothered by the game (even if they actually are) and in the same breath passively insulting the opponents.

Totally taken out of context.

Yes you are a much bigger club, play in a fantastic stadium and if you play your first team play you should destroy us, but you've hardly sold any tickets and your not playing your best team.

Hes talking about the the draw in general, Not many non league teams get to round 3, so when you get a chance after winning 3 games already, not to draw a big club or at least a PL team then it's a little disappointing.

This weekend he could have played against Liverpool, Chelsea or Man United who all would sell their stadiums out and would have give him a chance to tell his grandchildren he once played in front of 70,000 fans at old Trafford.

If you get through to the next round and you draw someone like Bournemouth or Southampton for example then would your players be a little disappointed.

It isn't taken out of context. It's a spoiled brat talking because Ryan Reynolds hangs around the corporate areas and everyone's ego is growing. For a non-league team to get a Championship opponent at any stage should be pretty flattering.

There needs to be a bit of a reality check here.

Good shout. At half time or hour mark -
Sheaf for Dabo, Kane drops to RB
Panzo for Bidwell
Late on
Doyle for Rose
Allen for Palmer

Injuries permitting

It's even better when you realise who Palmer has played for. The biggest club he's been at is Grimsby Town.

Any away match in the FA Cup is brilliant as long as it is someone who is not in your league.

Look at MK Dons away 5 years ago. Huge bandwagon of 8000+ down there despite having played there many times.

I assume Palmer isn't too fussed about a trip to the Ricoh seeing as it's only five years ago that he played against us there in League Two (and scored twice, incidentally)

That's a fair assessment. I think the press comment that he's " disappointed" doesn't actually mean he disrespects Cov city and I'm sure when tomorrow comes he'll be buzzing to get out and see what the championship standard is all about .
It'll be a disappoint crowd from a Cov perspective but given the fact it's on telly etc I'm not at all surprised.
Whatever happens, if we beat your lot and get an away draw we'll sell out our allocation up to over 10,000 if it is possible. We have a staggering following away in the fa cup for some reason.
Enjoy your day, but not too much !

Even if we can't fill the bench with players he'd be happy to play, I'd still fill it with U23 or even academy players just to give them that experience.

Frankly if you're over 21 and the manager isn't even willing to put you on the bench against a non-league team because he thinks you're not good enough to beat them, your days here are numbered.

No chance. Sales not too dissimilar to when were at the Ricoh in League 1 4/5 years ago. Will be around 8/9000 Coventry fans there. Hospitality and west Stand is busy. Singers corner nearly sold out. Many will pay on the gate for a game like tomorrow.

I'd guess at a crowd of around 12/13k.
