Crusaders Forced To Train At Lex

There has been a big bust up at Wrexham between the rugby and the football teams and Crusaders have been forced To Train At Lex, Wrexham's old training ground because Saunders was not happy with the pitch after the Rugby team trained on Thursday afternoon before their first home match on Friday night. How much longer will The Crusaders be at The Racecourse is a million dollar question.

Wrexham 2 Mansfield 1 Tuesday 2nd February 2010

The pitch still had the rugby lines visible as the green paint that was put down to cover the lines today had not dried and had washed away with the rain but Wrexham who included the two new players and started with McCluskey were on fire in the first half and played the best football I have seen all season. Mangan hit the bar early on from a knock down just outside 6 yard box and on 22 mins Wes Baynes had a free kick Off about 35 yards out in front of Eric Roberts stand which he hammered towards goal only to see the keeper push it onto crossbar. Not long after Christian played through ball to Baynes on the right of the pitch where Baynes came inside and hit a low shot into net to give Wrexham the lead. Mansfield were fouling left, right and centre and the ref did nothing as the home fans were going mad and just to upset the home fans again, Mansfield keeper way out of his area by the Mold Road Stand gave ball away and just as Mangan was about to hit the ball into the empty goal the ref blew for half time. It was unbelievable and Wrexham were incensed as all the decisions were going against Wrexham, in fact if he had a yellow shirt on it would have been easier to accept because his first half display was shocking and worst was to come in the second half. Mansfield equalised within 3 mins of 2nd half and celebrated as if they just won The World Cup because they knew that they should have been 4 goals down at half time. Christian Smith commits a foul, Wrexham's first of the match and promptly gets booked, absolutely shocking as the referee let Mansfield get away with at least 5 bad tackles first half and did nothing. The Mansfield players even got away with kicking the ball away when Wrexham had a free kick and had the ball in place to take free kick but yet again amazingly did nothing. By now Mansfield players were going down as soon as any Wrexham players dared to tackle them, and each one you thought had been shot by a sniper the way they fell and would hold their heads as if they had been elbowed in the face. Every Mansfield player should be ashamed and be investigated because the diving, blatant play acting is how they are near the top of the table because they have no skill as Wrexham were by far the better team and thoroughly deserved their win. Jamie McCluskey was on fire and they just could not handle him. With his step overs and he even did a cross where he put his right foot behind his left foot and did a brilliant chipped cross and he was unlucky to not score. Mangan got Wrexham's 2nd goal and thats two goals in 2 and a bit games, Holden also had a very impressive debut and we looked a totally different team to the one that has struggled all season and have now got pace and skill and more importantly a player who knows where the back of the net is, unlike Marc Williams who has failed to score a goal all season. About ten mins from the end Christian Smith was hurt on the floor and when he eventually got to his feet he was shown a second yellow and sent off to the amazement of Wrexham fans and sent after 5 mins of injury time, the ref had to have a steward escort from several stewards to get off the pitch. One of the poorest refereeing displays I have seen in over 30 years, yes thats how poor he was.

Wrexham v Mansfield Game On Kick Off 7.45pm Tuesday 2nd February 2010

The pitch is still covered in snow and a few people are clearing the snow as I type this at 13:20 but as they are removing the snow the pitch is soaking and waterlogged. The temp at present is at 9 degrees and if it stays at this temp then hopefully it will help get rid of the water but at present the game is very doubtful. Still waiting for referee to turn up at 3pm before any decision is made. Just been informed a decision to be made by 5pm.

Wrexham v Mansfield Tuesday 2nd February

The original fixture 19th December was called off due to parts of pitch being frozen and I would be very surprised if tomorrows game is not called off with all the snow we have had in North Wales goad Friday afternoon and presently the temp is zero with pitch still covered in snow. A shame as Wrexham have put a nice run together with the new striker Mangan a superb signing and getting his first goal last Saturday in a 3-1 away win at Altrincham.
