Yes but we've only played 11. If we scored 13 goals across the two game "in hand" we'd be above them. 😁 Seriously though, they will be a threat especially at their place. But, on the other hand, we're top scorers away from home (joint with Mansfield) across all 4 divisions on 14. An intriguing tie that won't really be a shock (IMO) whatever the result. My prediction would be a draw with us winning the replay. Walkley Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodleyRam Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Crewe Alex is the closest club to where I grew up and I had a spell in there academy as a youf. Used to be a really good set up for a small club but then mired in controversy. Hopefully it's a full ground and a good atmosphere, will prove a tough place to go though I'd wager.

I agree, despite what some may think, Derby, Ipswich and Sheffield Wednesday are/were all considered big fish in the league 1 pond. That would only change if any of the three were stuck in this lower league for a considerable period of time IMO. Wrexham may well have a bigger pull but only because of their Hollywood links and not because of their fan base. Even then, their tie may only be more attractive if it was pretty certain Reynolds was going to attend the game. Derby County have a massive pull compare to bloody Wrexham, forget about the owners, they will never get average gates of Derby County, or have our history in anyone's life time on here, outside the top2 divisions we have the best history and gates by a country mile. Just in Poland at the mo, back friday, went to there international stadium today in Warsaw , the guide said who is your team, I said with pride Derby County, he said oh yes the champions off England back in 1975.

For example, Derby currnetly have just shy of 400k Twitter followers, whilst Wrexham have exploded to over 550k. jimtastic56 and Tamworthram 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bris Vegas Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 (edited) 12 hours ago, DerbyAleMan said: Absolute rubbish, Ipswich, Sheff Wednesday and Derby are all regarded big clubs at division one level, all commanded plus 25K gates in this division Derby was 27K, and is around the same again this season, all teams have played at the top level for a good chunk of there history, as for Wrexham 10K fans, and spent most of there time out of the top division. So no way does Wrexham have the biggest pull, a ridiculous comment to make. Big clubs yes, but not huge. I mean, when we were in the Championship a decade ago, who looking at League One and saw Sheffield United’s name and thought they were a huge standout in League One? Fans of clubs like Stoke, WBA, Brum etc. won’t be looking at League One and seeing Derby as some sleeping giant here. They won’t give a crap. And when Oxford see us on their fixture list, they probably just think ‘nice stadium to visit’ and that’s it. Wrexham are a bigger pull but obviously not because of their history, fan base, quality of their players or stadium size. And I am referring to attracting an viewing audience when I saw bigger pull.

Sorry u will never convince me that Wrexham has more pull to the football family, and yes I have mates who are Sheff United, Sheff Wednesday fans and Villa all who state we are far to big for division one, i get alot more positivity from other club fans than i do on this forum , I think this forum us6 made up, of all the moaners who follow us both home and away.
