melmacian_saint Posted 24 March, 2013 Share Posted 24 March, 2013 Are the play-off finals going to be held elsewhere like 2 years ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david in sweden Posted 24 March, 2013 Share Posted 24 March, 2013 (edited) inspired by this thread I found the game (FA Trophy final - played at Wembley) on some obscure thread and quite enjoyed the game. Boring 0-0 at HT turned into a real game in second half. Brett Ormerod had a couple of good chances ....including a fantastic header from 10 yards out which grazed the crossbar and went over, before Grimsby eventually scored in a goalmouth scramble. Wrexham turned up the pressure, but Grimsby's young keeper McKeown kept them in the game with a couple of saves any international keeper would have been proud of, but he was beaten by a penalty after an Albanien U21 winger named Cieslewicz came on as Brett's sub - repeatedly tore through the Grimsby defence - was eventually floored and Wrexham equalised from the resulting penalty. Grimsby's keeper kept out Wrexham shots left, right and centre..but his luck ran out after extra time, when Wrexham ran out worthy winners after winning the penalty shoot-out 4-1. I was pleasantly surprised by the standard which looked just as good as any L1 game, and look to see how Wrexham (a good few points ahead at the top of the Conference) will manage next season - if promoted. Brett still looked pretty lively ...but the winger Cieslewicz---definitely look as though he's destined for better things !

Neil Posted 24 March, 2013 Share Posted 24 March, 2013 Was Brettigol down to take Wrexham's fifth pen i wonder, or had he bottled it? :-) I hope they get promoted and he plays in the league again, top man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david in sweden Posted 24 March, 2013 Share Posted 24 March, 2013 One fact .... for we " nerdy statisticians " ; Brett Ormerod must have some sort of record...in that he played for 3 different club sides at Wembley. Saints V Arsenal FA Cup Final 2003 Blackpool play-off match winner 2010...and now FA Trophy winner with Wrexham 2103. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite the same, but Steve Guppy became the first player to win a medal at both the old and new Wembley stadiums; the League Cup with Leicester at old Wembley, the FA Trophy with Stevenage at the new stadium.

The Kraken Posted 24 March, 2013 Share Posted 24 March, 2013 Didn't he start at Colden Common? He did, and had a few games for Saints reserves before being picked up by Wycombe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

svetigpung Posted 25 March, 2013 Share Posted 25 March, 2013 Didn't he start at Colden Common? I think youll find that Steve Guppy actually started at Littleton Juniors. Thats where we both lived and played, in the good old days. We were Littleton but played our matches in Harestock; pretty logical. Good om yer Brett, our own Steptoe.

THX Turkish, I stand corrected, But that was something similar to what I meant.... I only seem to associate Cup Finals with Wembley..a bit of brain fade when it came to ours....at Cardiff.
