Wrexham have been there 14 years now, Stockport 11 including 6 in the league below. Even took Luton 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great attendance by Stockport and it will hopefully be nice to see them on their way back into the football league. We had almost 14,100 today but Port Vale didn't sell 500 of their allocation 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OG Stood in the East End we could sense what was going to happen so all shouted "leave it Geoff". Wonderful game for neutrals though. 2-0 up, 2-2 HT, 2-4 down but drew 4-4.

Wrexham had a great team back then with players such as Dixie McNeil and Mickey Thomas so it was no surprise to lose the replay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember being so excited about getting a draw that we were definitely going to the replay. By the time we got home we had 2nd thoughts, and as the replay was 2 days later and a Monday we thought better of it. Glad when I heard the score.

It wasn`t the best away day I`ve ever had! Something very weird for me surrounding the game though. I wasn`t able to get a programme for some reason and it annoyed me for years as it was a gap in my collection. Imagine my surprise when, a few years later, I found a copy in Bury`s programme shop in a box of random programmes on the counter! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking of Dixie McNeil, John Sillett wanted the club to sign him on while he was playing for Lincoln, but Alan Dicks And Tony Collins rejected it. The on going dispute was the reason Sillett left the club. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd forgotten it was 2 days later on the Monday, but I didn't think better of it and went up anyway. Terrible night, especially as I'd only been there a couple of months earlier to see Wrexham knock us out of the League Cup as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must admit I had to check, thought there was longer between the games. Mad that now you'd have to wait a week or two for a replay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there that day with my late Father, who was Wrexham born and bred. We were at home to Wimbledon. So glad I chose the Wrexham match, however I drove to Selhurst park to watch us beat Wimbledon in the replay. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In those days I was City mad enough to rearrange just about anything at short notice to get to the games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
