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

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    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.

    Wrexham have had storied FA Cup runs in recent seasons. This season, they reached the fourth round but were beaten 4-1 by Blackburn Rovers and last season, they reached the same point, where they lost 3-1 to Sheffield United.
