Wrexham fans to say 'thank you' to Brighton fans

Wrexham | News | Dragon News | Dragon News | Reds Fans Say 'Thank You' To Seagulls

THE FA Cup has a knack for producing romantic ties and Wrexham's trip to face Championship opponents Brighton certainly ticks that box.

When the two sides last met back in the Football League in May 2004, it was the Seagulls' fans who helped raise attention of the Dragons' off the field issues with a red card protest.

Given Brighton's well-documented controversial loss of the Goldstone Ground in 1997, their travelling fans understood just what was at stake that day.

The bond between the two sets of supporters quickly grew with Brighton supporters helping to organise a Fans United day and has remained in place over the intervening years.

"We wanted to recognise the part that Brighton fans have played in our club's survival," explained WST Board Member Mark Williams. "As such, we will be making a presentation to their Supporters' Club representatives just before the kick-off.

"We'll have some 2,000 fans down there and it should make for a fantastic atmosphere. We hope everybody enjoys a memorable day."

Looking forward to the binfest on here/their forum when they realise that about 15000 of the Albion fans in attendance tomorrow haven't got a clue about the good relations between the two clubs, and will therefore spend the game singing "Who are ya" and dull anti Welsh Songs

That is actually very true and I have been thinking that for a couple of days... most Brighton fans are gonna say 'what the f***? it's just a bunch of sheep shaggers' (allegedly) so as not to prejudice myself!

Why will that be the case? I'm only 24 and remember and am fully aware about fans united at Wrexham!
