Southampton and Wrexham in the cup to see in the new year. Perfect.

I'm really pleased for Wrexham. I don't think they should be underestimated either, top of the Blue Square often equates to a top 6 league 2 team. I hope the club prices this sensibly to ensure another sell out.
Well happy.

Looking at the Wrexham forum, some of them don't seem too happy about getting us.

For what reasons? Us not glamorous enough? Tricky tie?

Seems fair.

Financial reasons and not glamerous enough I think. They think we'll only get a 10k gate which wont equate to much cash for them. There seems to be mixed emotions though as some are very happy about drawing us.

It's opportunity cost. You measure the value of an opportunity by what you've given up to get it. So drawing Brighton away when Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal or Everton were in the hat is obviously a slight disappointment.
I prefer to look at it that we could have drawn Crawley, Stevenage or the Franchise - three draws that would have depressed me deeply. Of the Championship clubs, the London ones, Brighton and Doncaster were the ones I was looking for. Pretty keen to watch the reds at your new ground too.
I think what we really wanted was a draw that would, Exeter-style, eclipse all our financial problems and allow us to ride merrily into the sunset. Brighton away, while a great tie for the romantics, a nice day out and a fantastic stadium to visit, doesn't do that.
It will provide a bit of a boost to the finances, but one that will leave us with loads left to do ourselves to secure our future.

Hello Wrexham fan. Might be worth telling your forum that our gates are misleading because all games sell out at the Albion and the crowd figures go up and down depending on away turn out and season ticket holders that dont turn up. The Wrexham game is a chance for people like me, casual fans that don't have a season ticket to go. If its ay £20 in and £10 for kids then it should sell out and so not a bad pay day for you. For me Wrexham is the perfect draw, and another chance for a Fans United.

I expect a near 18k crowd for this, and we didn't exactly walk all over FC United last year, so should be a good game.
Won't be on telly though.

Hopefully a big following from Wrexham, and a good day out. I always think that Wrexham are a club with potential. OK the town is not massive but they have a big catchment area
