Yeah, I've noticed that to be honest.  I previously put it down to the 'new' fans, often from Wisconsin or somewhere with no real link to Wrexham other than they own Van Wilder on VHS.  But the smugness seems to have spread to a lot more.

I can't lie, the whole media love-in annoys me (probably more than it should do).  Same with how it is/was with Salford.  Football needs cartoon villains I guess.

One of Notts County or Wrexham could well become (well I would think so) the first team to get over 100 points in a season and NOT get promoted!

The BBC report mentions that Foster announced his retirement from playing in September 2022. Perhaps he's really let himself go to seed over the past 6 months and now has the build of Neville Southall? Actually, Southall would probably still be a really good keeper, even now!

Seen a few of their fans mention it’s a great signing because he’s got a million YouTube subscribers or something.

Think I’d jack the whole lot in and take up gardening/solvent abuse if I ever started worrying about that when we signed a player.

I would prefer Wrexham to go up for a number of reasons:  class    fans; owners very supportive and complimentary of Town, the cup run and fans;  and they have served their penance in NL.  Is it 18 seasons?.  For added reasons, they got 98 points and still did no go up.

York City are taking over 1,000 fans to Wrexham this weekend.  Hollywood have gone out of their way (twice) to praise York City and the large number of fans travelling.  

I have nothing against Notts County bar the terrible selfish decision to severely limit Town tickets for the playoffs.  My how that backfired!!

Mullin gets a bad knee and they go and sign Billy Waters from Barrow…..

It’s like a football manager game…..

The only issue I have is what happens when the bubble bursts, as it surely will probably later rather than sooner. It will be the case that money from Netflix will dry up when the adverting revenue goes because the viewing figures drop , then will the Yanks want to keep funding their hobby?

It's not a matter of envy or jealousy but having seen other clubs virtually go to the wall, not pay debts to small businesses that supplied them and then being bought out of bankruptcy for coppers. It is the small people and hardcore fans who will suffer.


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

As mentioned above, I have a lot of time for Wrexham supporters. When we played them in the  Trophy final, our hotel was full of them and they were great fun. Proper supporters who like us, have suffered massively over the years.

What I can't stand is the 'underdog' narrative since Hollywood took over.

It's just a double-or-bust situation isn't it?  You can't commit all those dollars to 2 promotion campaigns and risk dropping into the playoff lottery again and face a third year of it .   In their situation I'd throw the kitchen sink at finishing top, promotion is required I imagine at this stage or the wheels come off in terms of a 3rd/4th disney series and the ongoing story.  They obviously studied the bottle job of last year and have learned from it (although not learned enough to get rid of shoutyman in the dugout).

I hope they get promoted, gives us 2 games next season where we are guaranteed worldwide media exposure without having to reach round 6 of the cup.
