Wrexham to pile more misery on Chester
2008-03-09 13:27:00 Just a quickie on the Chester v Wrexham game. A quick look at the stats makes a mockery of the odds on offer. Wrexham may be bottom of the division but they’ve lost just once in their last 8 and that was to table toppers Peterboro. Chester on the other hand are in disarray, having ...
