Wrexham fan in peace. First of all, and you won't thank me for this, welcome to the conference. A tough place to watch football. (This is our 7th season ffs). Forget budgets, suger daddies, reputations etc, they count for nowt when you're up against the so called part time teams. Anyway, looking forward to a visit to a Bristol on Tuesday night on the back of a decent win at big spending FGR today.( our 3rd win away this season) We are a work in progress but our new front men are proving to be a handful for sides. Still missing a few key players so this will probably be our toughest test yet. What can we expect from Rovers?

Quite frankly, not a lot. We look genuinely clueless. If you take the lead, the points are yours.

Whenever I think of Wrexham v Rovers I always think back to that amazing goal that Trundle scored against us at the Mem. Probably one of the best I have ever seen at our ground! Think you beat us 3-0 that day and we were totally played off the park...

If Wrexham keep their shape,discipline and take one of their chances they'll quite likely win the game.

Would love a win on Tuesday because September looks a tough month for us on paper. A draw wouldn't be a bad result but I'm fearing a bit of a backlash after your result at Braintree.

The answer to your question is quite simple "What can you expect from Rovers?"
A GIFT WRAPPED 3 POINTS !

Yes I always think of our first defeat in the 73/74 promotion season. But I agree,if you score first you will win comfortably. We are very, very poor.

Even though you beat FGR today I don't think we should read too much into that as they clearly raised their game for the visit of Rovers Bt Sport and an extra 2000 odd spectators!
agree with the above if Wrexham score first they will 100% win

Our goals against column doesn't make good reading tbh. We are a little suspect at the back, although our keeper Dan Bachmann on loan from Stoke City looks the part.

They will need to re-focus in double quick time, and even then . . . well, who knows? The manager has his work cut out now, that's for sure.

I remember many games against your lot, most in the now league 1 but we could never claim 3 points off you away! You were our bogey team back in the 90's. 7 years wow! I don't know what gates we would get if we were still in this hell hole in 7 years lol what gates are you getting at home and do you take many away? Bristol's a long trek for you guy so how many do you think will come down?

Our 4 homes games so far have seen 2 crowds over 4000 and 2 over 3000. Not bad considering away support rarely breaks the 100 barrier. Woking for example brought 48 fans. Get used to it. We took around 250 to FGR today and I would expect similar on Tuesday night, although a quite a few away day fans are off to Andorra this week to watch Wales.

You were the top team I wales for a while it must feel like a million years ago now It does, but I tell you what, I'd much rather be in our position (fan owned and sustainable) than that circus in Cardiff. Swansea have been very methodical in their steady climb so hats off to them.

I've missed our games against Wrexham, like the other welsh teams they have passionate fans who help make it a lively atmosphere, plus the racecourse is one of my favourite grounds. So far our home form has been good, but Wrexham are a proper former football league team like Grimsby, so could be our toughest game so far this season. We bounced back well after the Altrincham game, i see no reason why we can't do the same again.

Have friends who live in Ruthin, he's a Wrexham fan, she's Rovers. Occasionally she goes to Wrexham home games with her hubby in her Rovers top, she's mad about Rovers. Can't say welcome to Bristol as I live in Cwmbran, South Wales Have a safe journey.

Out of interest what do Rovers charge to get in these days? Alfreton was £18 to stand a couple of weeks back.
