Port Said Red Posted April 22, 2023 Report Share Posted April 22, 2023 Anybody watching? Mullins has just put them in front with an absolute screamer. 2-1 up after being 1 down after 45 seconds. The Yanks are getting their moneys worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East Londoner Posted April 22, 2023 Report Share Posted April 22, 2023 Assume in years to come Notts County will be the answer to a quiz question of a side with over 100 points and didn’t go up automatically (or at all if they mess up a the playoffs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are honest about how litle knew/know about football but have become passionate about it. They may be Hollywood now, but Reynolds in particular grew up in a proper working class area of the USA and understands those people. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also being wise enough to get a grant for the new stadium, yes he spent loads from a non league team but it still isn't easy . I much this approach then the idiot that bought chelsea and said we should have no relegation.... one day SL will sell up and I'd prefer getting a RR then Vincent tan... but its just luck of the draw really. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted April 22, 2023 Report Share Posted April 22, 2023 They really should be looking to go up again next year. After that is where they might hit a wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have the whole of the North/Mid Wales catchment area to themselves, they have little or no competition when it comes to league clubs, unlike Salford. Wales will be looking to play international games there again and they will get more and more income locally. That along with the kind of sponsorship that the Americans can bring in like Tiktok, they will have plenty to spend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dredd Posted April 22, 2023 Report Share Posted April 22, 2023 The fact they are getting a thread on here every time they play, national coverage, being all over social media and has half of football swooning over there is getting annoying already. It's not an underdog story, it's rich owners buying their way out of non league. I actually like RM and RR, they seem like good guys doing stuff for the wider community in Wrexham but I'm already sick of it. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loco Rojo Posted April 22, 2023 Report Share Posted April 22, 2023 If they'd got promoted but without RR and RM being around you'd hardly hear anything about it. Power of the media love in. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

formerly known as ivan Posted April 22, 2023 Report Share Posted April 22, 2023 Would never be able to bring myself to congratulate them. Notts County deserve more congratulations for keeping pace with them all season on a much lower budget. People love the Wrexham circus. The Hollywood script. If you ask me, paying players the equivalent of high end league 1/low end championship wages makes their promotion far less of an achievement. More about what a failure it would have been had they not got promoted. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stedge Posted April 22, 2023 Report Share Posted April 22, 2023 Ryan Reynolds F.C. Right up there with Frank Lampards Derby County. Getting far too much attention by the gushing media. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted April 22, 2023 Report Share Posted April 22, 2023 As I've said before, I live nearby and what they've done to revitalise a club and town that was dying on its arse is quite remarkable. I can only congratulate them for that, they've clearly caught the bug and seem to get what it means. And their comments about Yeovil in midweek were a very classy touch. However, this idea of it being a fairytale and great underdog story is absolute nonsense and it is irritating to see it described as such. The amount of money they're paying that squad means that anything other than promotion would have been a huge failure. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true now, but when you hear the stories of the fans having whip rounds to pay the players less than 10 years ago, that's where the fairytale bit comes in to my mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyTonyTony Posted April 22, 2023 Report Share Posted April 22, 2023 Bollocks to Wrexham I say tbh. They should be spunking that league easily with the money floating about. It’s not a romantic story at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
