    Will we be able to maintain our unbeaten record on the road?
    can we be 3 up after 87 minutes to ensure a win?
    can we get through 90 minutes without a red card?

    What are your attendance and score predictions?

    Wrexham, Dev.

    York is a lovely city. Home of the national railway museum no less.

    Yes it was Wrexham in the trivia question. In the first season of the Third Division they finished 18th and were relegated the following year. York were promoted at the first attempt, but were relegated the following season at the same time as Wrexham

    I'm going for a loss.

    Because every time I get optimistic and think we're in for a win............... we lose.

    So my predictions are obviously cr*p :emoticon-0106-cryin

    I think it might be about 1300 - but there were still some tickets available until 5pm today.

    Uh oh - 1 down after 3 minutes.

    After 3rd rebound. Defenders? Are you all asleep?

    Not starting so good.

    What happened to Simon Ferry - off after 15 minutes, to be replaced by Romain Padovani.

    Was he injured ?

    33 minutes gone and not one shot on goal by us, as of yet - pretty poor to my mind.

    I hope Whittingham's got the hair drier out at half time!

    1-0 down at half time. Two shots on goal, both from DC. Let us hope for a better perforance in the second half, from our lot

    At least there is one really big star playing today in Division 2 - Tom Cruise has turned out in defence for Torquay at Newport <laugh>

    Perhaps we should sign him up - at least he is used to Mission Impossible.............:smiley:
