They’ve been bank rolled for the most part. Shame about Portsmouth…again 🤣 There's two ways to look at it I think, from a Wrexham perspective it's a great story, poor town down on its luck, high unemployment, football team with proud history stuck in non league for 15 years and in true Hollywood style their saviours appear, its taken them longer than expected to get out of the division but they seem to be there for the long term project and have done a lot for the town. That pub next to the ground gets tourists visiting every day of the week. For the other clubs in the division they must be fed up with them, playing budget vastly exceeding what others have , basically like putting a league one team into a division two beneath them. It has brought a lot more attention to the National League so other teams could have benefited with increased crowds themselves, try to use it to their advantage. Notts County should come up as well, wouldn't be surprised if both sides then go straight through league two next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just love playing in the Papa John's Trophy, can't bring themselves to leave that level. The promotion race from that division has been fascinating , looks like Plymouth and Ipswich should make it but could be another twist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ant Posted 23 April, 2023 Share Posted 23 April, 2023 Those decrying Wrexham for spending their way out of the league (at poor old Notts County's expense) seem to be conveniently ignoring that County are bankrolled themselves by their Danish consortium owners.

I went with a few others in 2009 I think, late January flights and hotels were cheap and match tickets easy to get, might need to plan ahead a bit more now they are doing well but well worth the trip.
