    The FA have introduced plans to abolish FA Cup replays altogether, leading to a wave of revulsion amongst lower-league clubs.

    Fans have called on Wrexham to make their displeasure clear. @RobRyanRed insisted that Wrexham "need solidarity on this", while @DanWrexham said: "Still no statement condemning the changes. What exactly are we waiting for?"

    The latter tweet also mentioned Ryan Reynolds, Rob McElhenney, and Humphrey Ker, along with Wrexham's official account.
