Match Day Thread Saints vs Wrexham - Saturday, August 9 - 12:30 KO

Here's to you, Jay Robinson, Southampton loves you more than you will know

 

Not been this excited for a game since Wembley

 

Sure we can soon knock that out of you.

 

WS saying he hopes to have Flynn Downes back in training this week and available to play Wrexham but Taylor Harwood-Bellis is about 10 days from being available for selection, says he rejoined group training in the second part of last week

 

I'm sure that @Saints Fan4Life can knock one out on his own

 

Help me out here, but if memory serves, I think the only time we played Wrexham home and away in competitive matches was when early League Cup ties were played over two legs. Must have been late 70’s and we won 5-0 at home and 3-0 away. Same again would be good. Mind you we were good. Phil Boyer tore them a new one. Helped erase an embarrassing 1-0 home defeat in the FA Cup in 1974. Anyone recall another game?

 

Is this a sticky post.

 

Buzzing for the episode about this game on their tv show. 3-1 to Wrexham

 

You're right that those 3 were the last times we played them. Obviously I don't recall it personally but think we played them in the old division 3 too.

 

Funnily enough i've just been scouring YT for a Saints v Wrexham video and checked this stats site for reference...

So we've played them only 7 times in total, winning 4 and losing 3.
The last league meeting was in 1960 and the last ever meeting was in 1979. Sadly there is no video record of any of the matches.
