"Wrexham's 1-0 FA Trophy victory over Altrincham on 15 December was their last outing but the Dragons' last league fixture was a 2-1 defeat at York City on 5 December."

Funny i thought we were in the next round, did I miss something?

The BBC are fkn hopeless at covering sports reports, They are usually about 3 hours behind every other news company.

I was reading my local evening paper tonight (The Shropshire Star) and lo and behold they also reported the fact that Wrexham havent played since there 1-0 victory in the FA Trophy against Alty on Dec 15
Pse see the email below that I sent in response to the Shropshire Star Sportdesk dept.

Hi
I get the star delivered each day and couldnt help noticing in Tues 12 Jan 2010 issue on the back page that you report that Wrexham havent played since they beat Altrincham in FA Trophy.
 
I go to all Altrincham's home games and some of the away ones and I can assure you that Altrincham did in fact Beat Wrexham 1-0 in the FA Trophy after drawing the first game 0-0 at Wrexham.
 
I assume you got your information from the BBC News website as they also reported that Wrexham went through to the next round.
 
Personally I find that the BBC are not the best at reporting sports news and they are certainly a lot slower at getting the information out on their websites than most other media outlets.
 
Could I suggest that if your reporters need any information on Altrincham Football club that they go to http://www.altrinchamfc.co.uk/alty1.htm where they will find a good website and the information within is correct with regards to scores, fixtures etc etc
 
Maybe your reporter could indeed pay a visit to Moss Lane one day and see what a well run part time club with no debt and a realistic outlook on their ambitions is like. He then could maybe do an article on the club in the Star. I realise that Altrincham is not in Shropshire but then again neither is Wrexham, however Altrincham is at least an English Club
