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.

Yeah I get his point completely and you're right, it's like us drawing Southampton away last season. It's a decent Premier League draw but if you're going to get knocked out preferable to be against the biggest team possible.

Club are expecting over 15K apparently. With nearly 2k sold in corporate, total tickets sold already over 13K with sales tomorrow morning and a big walk up likely.

Ironically, I think Singers Corner will be the most full it's been all season. It will sell out by tomorrow and unlike league game where loads of ST holders don't turn up, everyone will have paid for ticket including people who've been unable to get in there all season who will be up for it. Think it will be rocking.

Bang on. Wrexham will come to take the piss which will liven up the atmosphere unlike the teams that have come to the Ricoh and sat in silence this season.

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

He scored 2 against us for Lincoln I think in our promotion season at home. Big tall monster of a player, classic handful for league 2 who you want mcfadz on.

Mullin is a decent player, either footed, drops deep and goes out wide. He's a player that is much better than non league but being best mates with Hollywood stars drew him to Wrexham rather than championship clubs which he apparently turned down after leaving Cambridge. Takes a hell of a pen too

Hi goal scoring record until he joined Cambridge in League 2 is not much to shout about though and this includes spells in league 2.

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.

This is nothing. Wait until he reveals how many taliban he's killed.

This is true. He was on fire that season and took a big pay day in the division below and now he's loving life as goal scoring 'celebrity' I don't blame him really

Rhead is now at alfreton and our u21s captain cb Magrath is there so I imagine he's learning a bit in training!

Have to look at the game from the perspective of both sets of fans ..

If we beat Wrexham then I doubt we will even be talking about it still by Sunday morning .

If wrexham beat us , they will be talking about it for a long time ..

It definitely has the potential to be an upset , as every single cup match is .

He was but he was very effective too. Still remember that Lincoln match well ( very disappointed to lose to them with their vocal fans combined with the Cowleys’ antics that evening - also by our abysmal support which at that time was one of our most important games for years, to be which replicated by our support in the home tie v Notts County)
As for Palmer, really don’t remember him at all!

When draw was made I thought it'd be a shit turn out, but as game has got closer it is looking as though it might be decent.

Will be a lot of youngsters. My lad came home from school today and said the whole year seems to be going, all paying on the gate too as can't buy kids tickets online without adult.

I looked at sales about 1pm and only a handful had been sold in block 24. Just checked now and over half the block has sold out.
