Liam Kelly….

Good pens so far 3-3

I just get the feeling, it’s not going to be Luton’s day

Three goals disallowed

Oops

Luton goal. Decent move

Ominous or omnibus

My word there is a lot of jealousy/snobbishness on this thread. Both Coventry and Luton have been in the top division much more recently than us. It just shows that it you get it right on the pitch, any team from the Championship can get to the play off final like we did in 2008. Equally, it highlights that it has been a long time since we last got it right on the pitch (in the Championship). 
FWIW I think Luton will go up. They lost their manager and some players and showed that the club set up works well because they kept being competitive. Hopefully we will soon have our own season to celebrate.

Where were Cov and Luton in 2018 when Lee and Ashton were here, signing Liam thingy and Louis Dionky and Ryan K***,, making us a PL club in waiting?

In the 4th bloody division. Ffs.

As long as we don’t sell Alex Scott to one of the promoted sides 

Consistency. If we could put together a whole season of similar form to that we had since New Year we will be around the play offs.

I genuinely don’t understand how this can all be crammed in.

10 games every weekend?!? 
 

5 championship games…so basically has to be probably 2x on Friday nights, 1x Saturday night and probably 2x Sunday lunchtime? Every single weekend?!

Friday evening

Saturday midday

Saturday evening

Sunday midday

Monday evening

would be my guess. Similar to now for the most part

London Irish haven’t paid their players for a couple of weeks, apparently. Could they follow Wasps and Wuss?

It will be interesting to see how they get on with FFP rules in the league. What is it, a limit of % of income can be spent on salaries?

End of an era. Seems to have been part of matchday forever

This sums up the leavers. Lots of talented players leaving the Bears this summer

Predominately the UK. It’s fair to say the story has done relatively big traffic in North America (last month the Wrexham page was the fourth-most visited by US readers, more than Man City!), but actually BBC audience numbers for sport in the US aren’t that huge in the grand scheme of things.

What is interesting though, as you allude to, is the type of audience coming to the story. Yesterday’s live page was particularly popular with younger readers, for example.

We were also interested in the thumbs up/thumbs down balance on the goal posts. I’d have expected it to be relatively even, a mixture of well wishers and cynical fans who want Wrexham to fail (a bit like on this thread), but there were 3,300 ups v 130 downs on the third goal. That’s fairly unprecedented.

So yeah, I think it just goes to prove this is way more than just a straight football story/run-of-the-mill ‘non-league team wins promotion’ tale. It’s a great news story which the audience has engaged with to a level way beyond my expectations.

Presumably engagement drives advertising revenue which is why there are so many articles about Wrexham. It becomes a bit of a snowball effect.

I feel a bit sorry for Leyton Orient, promoted to L1 but no one is talking about it
