Find it all very boring, the love in with Wrexham and the 'underdog' story they peddle. They're the complete opposite of underdogs and it's grated this season being in the same league as them while they push the whole 'wow, how on EARTH have we found ourselves here - US, little ol' Wrexham??'. In all honesty, the two owners seem to have done most things the right way and do seem invested on a personal level, but the National League will be much better off without them.
Interesting point raised on a podcast a few weeks ago: they could be the first example of a club focused more on content than football. Of course, success goes hand in hand with football AND content but they needed that for their story arc (another season in the NL would have been stale for their brand). They have a huge tv show that transcends general football fans, their social media attracts people for content more than results and they're signing ex-prem players out of retirement. Interesting case study in modern football.

Interesting case study in modern football. Basically by being shite - they were in the NL continuously for fifteen years - longer than any other ex-EFL club. The closest to that were Hereford and Cambridge, both 9 years - and both promoted back without being bought out by rich Americans. |

15 years continuous is not only a bloody long time to wonder "how they found themselves (and stayed) here", it's actually longer than any other ex-EFL club has spent in the NL, even those with more than one spell in the league. Torquay come closest, but even with three spells in the NL, their total is still only 10 years.
Chester have also spent 10 years in the NL, but that was as two separate clubs - 4+1 as Chester City, 5 as Chester. The ex-EFL club who have spent longest in the NL in total is Halifax, with 21 years, but again they've done that as 2 different clubs - 5+7 as Halifax Town and 3+7 as FC Halifax.
Whichever way you look at it, Wrexham have the worst record of any ex-EFL club - even after being rescued by rich Americans.

Meanwhile Wrexham's second club Cefyn Druids have no players or manager after they all walked out en masse after not being paid. Cefn lost their last league game 8-0 when they could only field 8 youth players.It would seem to mee that Wrexham have taken a lot of their support away.

Not sure many Canucks would agree with that. They live on the North American continent, but see themselves as very different - and that's without including the French Canadians, who retain many of the attitudes of their European forefathers!

Technically true, but then so are Brazilians, Argentines etc, in the same way that we are European. |
