Wrexham fans, brace yourselves! A cracking FA Cup tie against Chelsea is just around the corner, but there’s a big reminder from club legend Mickey Thomas: don’t let the excitement derail our Championship promotion dream.
After an impressive 1-0 victory over Ipswich Town, Wrexham has landed a thrilling fifth-round clash with the Premier League giants at the historic Racecourse Ground.
While it’s easy to get caught up in FA Cup fever, Thomas insists the focus must remain sharp, especially ahead of the crucial league matchup with Bristol City. Speaking on BBC Radio Wales, he highlighted the importance of staying grounded and ready for every challenge on the path to the Premier League.
“Tuesday’s game against Bristol City is massive,” Thomas warned. “Phil Parkinson will undoubtedly have the lads ready. Let’s not get too distracted by Chelsea.”
Renowned for his own FA Cup heroics, Thomas knows anything can happen when Chelsea visit. Despite the Blues’ star-studded lineup, he’s optimistic about Wrexham’s chances and applauds the magic Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have brought to the club.
“They’re doing something incredible here,” Thomas said. “The squad is huge, the manager is fantastic, and honestly, I’m not worried at all.”
Only 10,500 lucky fans will squeeze into the stadium for what’s sure to be a memorable encounter. Many more will be cheering from afar, but one thing’s for sure: when that whistle blows, it’s anyone’s game.
With Wrexham’s global fanbase buzzing, let’s keep our eyes on both the thrilling Cup tie and our Premier League ambitions. So, who else is excited about what’s shaping up to be a scintillating chapter in Wrexham’s journey? 🔴⚪️ #WrexhamAFC #FACup #FootballDreams
