Nottingham Forest
Nottingham Forest is set to face Wrexham at the Racecourse Ground in a televised FA Cup match at 7:30 pm. Despite an amber snow warning issued for the Wrexham area, the match is scheduled to proceed. Fans have been advised to allow extra travel time and stay updated on weather conditions, as Storm Goretti has brought a mix of snow and rain, causing disruptions in both Nottinghamshire and North Wales.
The club posted a statement on X confirming the match would proceed, saying: “Tonight’s @EmiratesFACup match at Wrexham will go ahead. Supporters are advised to allow extra travel time and stay aware of Met Office weather warnings. Please check local travel and weather updates ahead of the 7:30 pm kick-off. See you in Wrexham, Reds!”
The Met Office has issued a yellow ice warning covering the affected areas until midday on Saturday. The warning highlights the risk of ice due to partially thawed snow freezing overnight as temperatures drop below freezing. Additionally, freezing fog patches may pose further hazards.
This fixture marks Nottingham Forest’s first meeting with Wrexham since 1993, when they emerged victorious with a 3-1 aggregate win in a League Cup tie. Forest enters the cup clash with renewed confidence after a crucial 2-1 Premier League victory over West Ham, which moved them seven points clear of the relegation zone.
Sean Dyche’s side aims to maintain their momentum and avoid a potential upset against their Championship opponents. The team has shown significant improvement since Dyche’s arrival, having secured nine points from their last eight games, a notable achievement given the competitive nature of the Premier League.
As Forest prepares for the cup tie, the club emphasizes the importance of fans monitoring travel and weather updates to ensure a safe journey to the match. The team is eager to continue their positive trajectory and build on their recent league success.
