  WHAT HAPPENED?

  The Red Dragons made a trip to Milton Keynes in Buckinghamshire for their league fixture against the Dons on Tuesday evening. And upon arrival, McElhenney was fascinated by Stadium MK which has got two tiers and a capacity of 30,500. The seats are all black and on one side of the arena, the club name is written in white along with the crest in the middle.

• WHAT ROB MCELHENNEY SAID

  McElhenney put out a tweet that read: "Wow. @MKDonsFC stadium is beautiful. Of course, we’d love to break your hearts in it. Kinda like the way you did to us in our house. 😂 💔 Come on you Reds! @Wrexham_AFC".

• THE BIGGER PICTURE

  McElhenney was referring to the 5-3 defeat that the Dons inflicted on Wrexham back in August at the Racecourse Ground. It was a dreadful night for Phil Parkinson's troops as they were trailing 4-1 at one stage, before finding two late goals, which proved too little too late.

  WHAT NEXT?

  Wrexham looked like a team with a mission to get the three points against MK Dons with James McClean handing them the lead in the 22nd minute. However, their joy was short-lived as Dan Kemp equalised just four minutes later.

  After a barren run, Wrexham headed into this match on the back of two successive wins with McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds' troops pushing for an automatic promotion spot. They will continue their journey on the road as they are set to face Gillingham on Saturday in League Two.
