Wrexham AFC are on the road for the final time this season, as Phil Parkinson’s side make the short trip to take on Crewe Alexandra in Sky Bet League Two action.
It is the first time that the Red Dragons have returned to action since securing promotion to Sky Bet League One against Forest Green Rovers last weekend.
It is set to be a packed out away end at the Mornflake Stadium, with over 1,600 Wrexham fans expected in the Ice Cream Van Stand.
If you can’t make the match, due to the change of kick-off time to 12:30pm, the fixture falls outside of the Article 48 window, meaning that both UK and international supporters can stream the fixture.

Flags and Banners
Crewe have issued the following guidance, in line with the stadium’s ground regulations.
‘We know that many supporters like to display flags at football matches and the Mornflake Stadium will always be as accommodating as possible.
‘Flags are not generally confiscated, however the obstruction of gangways, access routes, exits, and entrances, health and safety signage and stairways are strictly forbidden.
‘Mornflake Stadium reserves the right to confiscate flags if they are very large or may compromise public safety, obscure someone’s view, a camera position or if a flag carries offensive, discriminatory, or inflammatory messaging.
‘Flags more than 250cm in size at their widest or longest section will not be allowed and flagpoles greater than 1m in length will not be allowed.
‘Any articles that could potentially be used as a weapon and/or compromise public safety are strictly prohibited.’
Supporter Conduct
Wrexham AFC wishes to remind supporters of the potential safety implications and consequences that may occur as a result of pitch incursions and other illegal and unacceptable behaviour.
As previously communicated, supporters who encroach on the pitch risk facing a Football Banning Order as well as a criminal conviction, while the Club itself could also face a fine for these actions.
There may also be other implications for the Club, including restrictions on future away ticket allocations. This is due to potential safety measures the home Club are required to put in place which impacts on the availability of seating.
The Club understands the emotion and passion that comes with attending the match as a fan but must reiterate that the safety of players, managers and supporters on both sides remains our priority.
The vast majority of fans have – and continue to – support the Club in an appropriate manner and are a credit to Wrexham AFC, but we will seek the strongest possible punishment for those who enter the field of play or engage in any other unacceptable behaviour.
As in line with the FA initiative, Wrexham AFC fully support the ‘Love Football Protect the Game’ program.
Wrexham AFC support the new measures that have been implemented to both improve participant and fan behaviour across the board.
Wrexham AFC operates a zero-tolerance policy for discrimination of any kind, and supporters are encouraged to come forward and report any incidents to the nearest steward, the Club, or Kick it Out.
