Wrexham (2 Viewers)

[Blind-Faith]

Already 2-0 down first game back in the football league. For some reason it gives me great joy seeing them getting beat, will hopefully pipe down all the media about them!

someone on here told me they'd be championship in a couple of years

Love how sky sports are talking like Wrexham are hard done by

 

[LastGarrison]

I put the fuckers in my acca

 

[Ccfcisparks]

So so glad. The love in on Sky Sports before the game was completely odd.

Now it's because of man utd injuring one of their players

Is that because of the summer tour?

Apparently

Is Ben foster taking selfies?

Can't believe the woman on sky just said it's two five

Notts County lost 5-1 at Sutton too.

Their keeper was sent off after 15 minutes, they obviously didn’t have a sub keeper on the bench as they didn’t bring anybody on.

Put ‘em in for goals for sure but avoid results.

They did they brought Slocombe on.

 

[Otis]

I love how Salford won 2 nil, but didn't have any shots or shots on target and neither of their 2 goals were own goals.

 

[SkyBlueCharlie9]

Wrexham genuinely felt they had a better squad than us last season. The hype about them is ridiculous and no way they are going to walk the league.

They might do well, but I think it will be a lot tougher than they believe.

Signed James Mcclean too ... just sayin ..

 

[Saddlebrains]

Hope they get whacked every week

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

I don’t mind Wrexham the club it’s the media as per usual that do my head in

 

[Deleted member 5849]

I don’t mind Wrexham the club

Proud old club who've gone through some dark days, so delighted for those fans who went through that, that they get their day in the sun.

James McClean too? The sequel?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

At the expense of others who are also due that but don't have Hollywood owners?

Yeah, it's not just the sun though. It's the Mirror, the Mail, the Telegraph, Sky Sports, the BBC, ITV, C4 too etc.etc. etc.

It's the way of Football and always has been. Same way we got in the measure, getting a generous benefactor to raise us above.

It's not at the expense of others, it's what's happened for over a century and a half.

You would surely agree though, that what's happening now is on quite another level to the local chairmen of yesteryear?

Not in Wrexham's case, no. If they're in it because they fancy a bit of excitement, so what?

If anything they've spent less than David Cooke... and certainly bribed less.

Spending millions upon millions in the Conference isn't quite what the typical club in that league can do, to put it mildly. It just inflates wages further down the pyramid and encourages more unsustainable spending from teams without a tycoon benefactor.

Not for me I'm afraid

But that's the way it's always been. Other clubs don't have to copy. For every Norris or Hill-Wood with Glossop, there's a New Brighton Tower Company after all.

 

[Evo1883]

Wrexham were paying 2nd / 3rd tier wages in the 5th tier .. fuck them

Their fans are pretty gash too

You make it sound like this is a new idea

At non league level it’s a huge sum of money.

They can either bankrupt themselves or not get promoted!

Wigan, Forest green and Fleetwood all have in effect done similar - the only difference is Wrexham are a club with a long proud history

New Brighton Tower signed England internationals before they played in the league btw. Bet Doncaster were glad they didn't follow.

 

[rob9872]

Not quite as easy to buy leagues once in the FL as Salford have discovered. Was always disappointed in the Nevilles vanity project whilst Bury went bust. I'm much happier for teams like Luton who've done it properly than everyone saying little old Bournemouth backed by a poundshop Abramovic.
