Is the poisoned dwarf still manager there? Looked like he was having a stroke last time they played us.
Just checked Wiki. He's still there
Good bit of banter in that game but there was also that other business that we wouldn't want to see repeated.
Wrexham FC struggled to bring 50 fans on their previous visits.
1st game of the season it will be interesting how much Disney FC bring.?

Our championship rivals Stoke have a new club crest..... I get the representation of a kiln in the bottom right but why do they have a pretzel in the top left????
My Stokie mate says 'get knotted'.

Cardiff City's home fixture against Wrexham is one of the most eye-catching fixtures on the opening weekend of the new Championship season.
The live TV cameras will roll at Cardiff City Stadium as Brian Barry-Murphy's team mark their return to the second tier with what is a relatively rare encounter with Wrexham.
The first of six derbies for Cardiff in 2026-27 – alongside the Wrexham return fixture next March, plus two meetings apiece with Swansea City and Bristol City – will see the Bluebirds begin the season on their own patch for the sixth time in seven seasons.
Cardiff's hope will be that they can continue a strong home record against Wrexham.
The two Welsh clubs did not meet in the league until 1975, when Cardiff won a Third Division game 3-0 at Ninian Park.
That was the first of nine Cardiff victories in 15 home league matches against Wrexham.
The 17 August fixture will be the first in the league between the two clubs since Cardiff won a third-tier encounter 3-2 in March 2002, with Scott Young, Peter Thorne (pictured above) and Danny Gabbidon on target for Lennie Lawrence's side.
Cardiff have lost only two home league games against Wrexham, in 1992 and 1982, while they have been beaten on the opening day of the season just once in the previous five campaigns.
The 2025-26 campaign began with a 2-1 home triumph against Peterborough United which set the tone for a season that ended with promotion.
Another opening victory this time around would be an impressive way to start as Barry-Murphy looks to re-establish Cardiff in the second tier.
Hadn't realised our track record against the scousers was so good!!

Ah! Right, ok then.I did realise that - that's why I quoted you.
Anyway, who's getting promoted and relegated from the Championship in the coming season?
I can't see West Ham hanging around and they'll bounce straight back. Not so easy for Burnley and Wolves though I reckon. Boro could make it this time.
I think he already hasDont you know there is a Dying Swan - jokes thread? Dont go posting jokes just any old where. Sparkey will tell you off.
Dark horse to go up?
CCFC to follow the other CCFC.
Dark horse to bomb?
Charlton - I think they've topped out under Jones.

No way - I'm just a poster and the same as the rest of you - just with a few extra buttons to push on here.............
I do believe that all Championship games are live on TV this season even 3pm kick offs
Good to see you posting again.
First of all I thought your prediction for the Lilywhites to go down was a bold call. However, they did fall away badly last season so you could be on to something.
