They’ll win the national league next season anyway…

Yes it is exasperating I agree. It’s a tough league to get out of, there’ll be somebody else willing to splash the cash, just hope those Filmstars with more money than sense get fed up with soccerball and take up baseball.

I know some eminently reasonable people who, whilst having balanced opinions about most things in life, absolutely detest Wrexham. I know they’ve experienced poor treatment at the hands of Wrexham ‘fans’ and are rightly irritated by the undoubted media bias towards the club. However, if I’m going to be objective, when I was at the FA Cup tie at Wrexham a few years back I saw a big ground, fitting of league football, and partisan, if unpleasant, fans who created an intimidating atmosphere. Isn’t that what Rodney Parade is all about: creating a partisan atmosphere that provides an advantage to the home team? Wrexham’s crowds have been up around the 10k mark recently and they have a reasonably small catchment area to call on, so it could be argued that they would enhance the EFL to a greater extent than some of the clubs currently in the 92. (I don’t necessarily subscribe to this view, as all clubs, with the exception of MK Dons, have earned their place in the EFL). I remember the cup and league exploits of the Wrexham teams of the 70s and I wanted them to do well then. I think the return of the 4th Welsh club to the football league would be good for Welsh football. I’m looking forward to seeing them alongside us, back where they belong.

You have to ask would we have had the same coverage if it was us. In my opinion it is all about positive discrimination in that the media luvvies have to prove that they do broadcast stories on the Gogledd.
