He has kept far too many players from last season's squad for my liking and I'm utterly bemused by his contract offers to Stobbs and Adams... He did the same last time he was in charge kept players like Dan G. I think his hands were tied a bit this season no way he wanted the keeper!

Wrexham will have the money, other than that if teams like Halifax and Solihull can compete on gates of 2000 then I'm confident we can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd assume that Halifax and Solihull are well managed with good spirit, united fans and a positive atmosphere. Why do you think we can compete with them. I can't get my head round why anyone who knows full well what an utter shitshow we have been for years thinks it will just turn round when there is no indication that it will be anything other than an ongoing shitshow.

If everyone who says they are going to boycott does so, then we should be left with circa 2,000 fans united in support of the team and therefore a very positive atmosphere!

Lee Sinnott Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 A shitstorm for me today is that they haven't acknowledged fans who are fathers today. Some of us have taken our kids to games all season and endured taunts from the likes of Scabby Andy. A bit of acknowledgement from the club wouldn't have gone amiss and is part of the reason I won't be bothering with a season ticket next season. Dickheads...

I also noticed that the club failed to acknowledge ‘National Milk Day’ on June 1st - an insult to all our loyal fans who use the stuff in hot drinks and on breakfast cereals… Will it ever stop?

As far as anything in football can be guaranteed I think there's a fair chance that Wrexham will be competing at the top end of the table. It seems pretty evident from the performances of recently promoted clubs thT the top end of NL is at least as good as the middle of L2 - and we were nowhere near the middle of L2 last season.

Sorry but that isn't true, obviously the teams who come out of the NL are normally competitive in League 2 the following season because to win the NL takes some doing with one automatic out of 24 teams but a mid table team like Yeovil who finished with 59 would be getting battered in League 2, there are half dozen NL teams who could compete comfortably but the rest of the division is average, do you really think we won't finish above a team like Altrincham then? I'll put my neck on the line and suggest for the first time in about a dozen years we win more than we lose which should easily see us top half, I know we used to be in the PL and that wouldn't be seen as progress but I'd personally see that as a step in the right direction.

If you think there are only 6 teams that would compete comfortably in league 2, how is finishing top half a step in the right direction? We'd have to finish top 6 or else we'd be as shit or shitter than we were last season surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
