First in a series of 3 pre-season friendlies will be against Swinton Lions on 15th January 2017.

 

Our first game of 2017 at our new home at Queensway Stadium, Wrexham will be against Championship opposition, a tough test for the North Wales Crusaders and a chance for players to show Mike Grady and Jonny Leather what they have for the forthcoming campaign.

 

No time has been announced for kick off but I'll guess at 2:30 which seems to be our traditional KO time.

I grew up in the shadows of the old Swinton Football Club Floodlights... A proud old club, with a fantastic history reduced to being a nomad club.

 

Still, not my problem since 1992. Hopefully they can get home one day, for their ageing diehards such as Spelly.

I met up with Andy Moulsdale today. He went to see Swinton v Oldham at the weekend and tells me that Swinton have a strong squad and will give us a stern test. Lets hope we get a good crowd out to cheer on the lads.

Working Sunday so can't get to this one, will have to wait another two weeks for the visit of the Ironmen.

Enjoy the game.

Positives: 

A good turnout for our first game at Queensway

Gameday arrangements went well. Food and drink were well apreciated and actually added to the club finances.

Lots of support from a friendly bunch of Swinton Fans (40+ estimated)

We didn't get nilled by a very good Swinton team 

6 debutants got to play their first game for Crusaders

To work on:

Cut out penalties - particularly lying on - we got pinged for that too many times

Capitalise on pressure when we build it

 

MoTM No.15 for Swinton. He was unstoppable and bossed the game
