It was covered earlier in the thread. The club couldn't care less who is able to attend the game, probably because they will get a few extra quid from TV money and they can save tuppence ha'penny on staff overtime by letting them knock off at normal time for a monday. The police advice thing is a complete red herring and more than likely a lie. Unbelievable incompetence. Or, on reflection, cynical undrmining of our fan base.

                           Pears

          O’Riordan, Hyam, Wharton

                            
Costello                                    Chrisene 

                 Tronstad, Wharton  

                         Szmodics

                      Dolan    Siggy

The police seem to be offering a lot of advice…

‘Furthermore, on Police advice, fans who are travelling to Ewood Park via the M65 should come off at Junction 3 if travelling by car and use Junction 4 if travelling by coach, and follow signs to the stadium.’

There will be c15k there… good job we never will see the PL again as I don’t know how the various ‘stakeholders’ would cope with actual big crowds.

I think it was in a club tweet the other day.

The magic of FA Cup Matty.

[Mattyblue]

Yep, hands up, I thought we’d have about 6k there… it will actually be about 7,500, if we want to call that kind of turn out the magic of the cup, then ok, sounds a bit small time like.

Ipswich - Maidstone 1-1 after 60 mins...not an easy day..

[Ricky]

I expect to see a lot of Wrexham fans in home ends of the ticket office doesn’t close early (and probably still if they do tbf).

Maidstone 2-1 up now

Put an image of a sheep on the big screen pre kick off - that’ll smoke them out.

[Mattyblue]

How would that happen? You have to give your name and postcode so they can check the database as you buy.

Result at Ipswich shows exactly how difficult this game is going to be - Especially with their support.

[rigger]

I want Maidstone at Ewood in the next round.

Never a truer word.  Wrexham fans are hard core dedicated and the reality TV world will be praying for a Wrexham upset.

Not a night for pretty football as Ipswich found out. Maidstone had two chances and two goals. 

Even Liverpool and Man City were hoofing  the ball over the defence last night. 

[simongarnerisgod]

the media will be slavering over a potential wrexham win after today`s maidstone win ,personally,im` e looking forward to that archetypal shot of a young wrexham fan in tears when we put the 6th goal in😁

Especially if you start your second XI - a mistake that I don't think we will make.

We should start our best eleven, put the game to bed, then substitute and rest as many as possible.

I don't think we can start a second XI can we, we barely have enough players for a first XI!!

Good. It’s way too soon to be giving him a game.

 

[Andy]

Just bought mine and the little lad's tickets for tomorrow - JW looks ok, Blackburn End not great and Walkersteel sparse.

Hopefully we'll see some 'on the day' sales, but otherwise 15k/16k based on current sales.
