You've got to admire Wrexham. They just try to outscore the opposition. They've had some incredible results this season including a 6-5 win from being 2-5 down!
 
Ah! That's a shame. Would have loved to have them back. Never mind, perhaps next season.
 
A devastating season end for them.

Positive - their fans with Wales tickets for next Sunday won't be trying to sell them, thus stemming the possible JB (Jock b*****d) black market. Should they beat Ukraine.

I dont think its deliberate Cling. Theyve spent loads for the division they are in and cant defend for sh!t. Great entertainment but theyve blown it.

You're probably right Hilts. I'm just a bit of a sucker for a team that scores loads even at the expense of a defence. I'm sure they'll work on getting a Vance next season.

Wrexham v Grimsby was a staple football league fixture back in the day like Halifax v Aldershot or Notts Co v Chesterfield

These days it’s Harrogate v Morecambe or Crawley v Stevenage

Back in the day those places were just places your grandparents went on day trips to:emoticon-0138-think

Well said sir.
At least Stockport have made it back but equally Oldham have slipped down.
 
But that was when the leagues were a virtual closed shop.

True, there was no auto relegation to non-league. The status of the bottom club was voted on by the rest of the league clubs so a club could be bottom and get re-elected, if their directors knew the right people.

This changed in 1987 when relegation to and promotion from the lower national league started.

You’re right. I can only think of one or two going out of the league before it became more open - Barrow & Bradford Park Avenue.
I was too young when Accrington Stanley went out & only Masky was around when Aberdare dropped out:emoticon-0138-think

ps Fair play to the said Barrow & Accrington S who made it back
 
It’s been a bad period for Wrexham with their cup final & play off defeats and losing out to Bradford as the UK Culture City.

Not sure how they were in the running as it’s not got any culture.

Mind you swansea tried as well a few years back and apart from their caravan museum there’s not a lot to visit there, but unsurprisingly lost out [to Coventry].
