Hi All,

I just wanted to say congratulations for your win yesterday, your fans and team were superb and there's no doubt you were the better team over the 120 minutes.

I know we've turned into a bit of a media circus, Hollywood FC etc that everyone wants to beat, but if you scratch the surface the the vast majority are fans like myself who go home and away and have done for 25 years and supported us for 15 years in this hell hole of a league. I was one of 3k or so that voted the owners in and I have to say it was one of the best decisions I've made, we love the owners.

Absolutely devastated this morning (and last night) but that's why we love football so much isn't it, already looking forward to next season.

The best of luck for you guys in the final, I'll be supporting you all the way.

Thanks, and I hope it finally happens for you next year

You should dump Parkinson though

Massive respect to your and your fans for your manner this past week. A world of difference between you guys and the Notts fans. It's great to see and I'm sure the same respect will have been afforded had we been on the losing side yesterday. Your time is certainly coming, and I'll be quietly happy for you when it does. UTM

Thank you. It kinda felt like yesterday should have been the final. Most Wrexham fans are decent sorts and chatted to some before and after the game. I hope we go up because you have to be better next season and should do well. Parkinson lost you that game with his horrible tactics and you need to get rid soonest.


Batch, Crombie, Moore K, Wiggington, Cumming, Waters, Bonnyman, Ford, Emson, Drinkell, Whymark. Love you all, You are the reason I'm on here. You've had help from Todd, Handyside, Futcher P, Groves, Mendonca, Macca etc etc etc. Up The Mariners!!!!!!!!!

I get why Wrexham fans supported their team yesterday but inside I’d imagine they knew that Parkinson’s antics and tactics have been their stumbling block. I get he’s been under pressure but his behaviour was laughable and essentially did Hursts job.

His tactics, well, enough said about them really…woeful.

I’d rather Wrexham be in the league than someone like Stevenage but alas, yet another season in non league for them…I guess the question is, just how do they get out. They’ve tried every way now and they’ve all failed…

Really nice post - must be so frustrating if you’re a Wrexham fan, down at this level for years. From outside looking in should be looking good for next season, if you keep hold of strikers and Davis. Some decent youngsters in there as well, do think you need more than the Tozer long throw at times, though it’s nigh on impossible to defend so fair do’s. Not sure on the keeper, but appreciate not always 1st choice.

Fans are obviously behind new owners, back in numbers..but I’d concur in the Parkinson thoughts..I said at start of season he wouldn’t last - I’m surprised he has..but need better. If you had ours I think you’d be looking at playing next weekend.

Good luck for next season and beyond..

And it might not go down well on here but loved hearing you lot sing the Welsh National Anthem..it always sounds brilliant, be it at football, rugby

Diolch yn fawr.

I'm not expecting to get much post this week, both the Parcelforce and Hermes delivery drivers here are Wrexham fans. TBF neither of them were full of it last week. Optimistic, but at the same time expecting it to go mammaries up at the last minute .

Yes, you need to bin Parkinson. His post match interview did himself and by association your club no favours by just complaining about the referees decisions.
Good luck next season, I hope you make it up, providing we’re not still down here.

Top man! You’ll walk this league next season for sure!

Do tend to agree with some posters though it felt yesterday like Parkinson was holding some of your talent back a bit with his game plan.

I was saying to a friend on the way out that I did feel for your supporters who have endured the NL since 2007 and seen us come and go and return in that time.

Best wishes. I had a look at your forum where one of our supporters has started a thread and the Wrexham responses were very measured. There should be more promotion slots between the NL and Division Four. I'll continue to say that even if we do win next week.

Thanks for your comments.

Fantastic bunch of fans and a proper club, had some good discussion with the fans sat to my immediate left, who were very complementary to our team. Good luck next season although I hope we’re not playing you!

It's a horrible league to be stuck in as it's a hard one to escape, more and more professional clubs have found themselves falling out the league which has made it all the more tough. We've been there having failed playoffs many times over having to go back for another season, wish you all the best.

There are some good ideas going on but maybe the manager wasn't the right choice as they have no experience in non league. Stockport bought in a manager who knows non league and has been proven at this level, look how that turned out for them. An experienced league manager Parkinson is but he doesn't know this league or how to beat it. Sheer force of talent in the squad almost did it but you need somebody with the right mindset and experience in this league, it's why I'm happy we have Hurst as he's managed many season at this level and knows what he needs to do.

Your post is indicative of all the fans me and my lad spoke to after the game - every single one congratulated us on a hard fought victory

I think there was a mutual respect at the end because I still think it could have gone either way in extra time and I'm so relieved we made it over the line to go on to London next week

I still think it's a pity that the EFL and NL can't agree on a three up / three down between our two leagues as Wrexham over the season probably deserve a place in the league

Not much we can do about the administration.... we have to abide by their rules and regulations so now it's another big hurdle next Sunday.

Who dares wins.... just hope my heart holds out after Monday night and Saturday afternoon

Both Wrexham and Notts have some classy fans it must be said.

If we win next week, I hope they both go up next season.

Parkinson and his interview, not so.

Good luck next season.
