Wrexham is the Game – we predict a riot
All you need to know ahead of the League One kick off – and some things you don't
ANDY: After 7035 days, 1005 weeks, 168,840 hours (…or 10,130, 400 minutes if you want to be precise) we are back where we belong.
Wrexham were demoted from League One under a cloud in May 2005, the first club ever in the Football League to face a points deduction due to owner mismanagement.
Since then we’ve had relegations, more dodgy owners, heartbreak, dismay, Newport, Nortei Nortey and our top goalscorers a) contracting a tropical disease and b) being bitten by a poisonous spider.
But now we’re back, and all it took were two Hollywood owners, a shed load of cash and an unwavering devotion to 3-5-2.
I’ve always said that I think Wrexham’s natural home is League One. Probably mid table with the odd run at the play-offs and flirtation with relegation.
Will Ryan and Rob be happy with that? I don’t think so. They’ll want more – and therein lies the fun.
If you want more, please subscribe as there’s loads in this weeks newsletter including bona fide match elements for the first time ever. We even quote one of the most prominent English poets ever (clue: it’s not Les Dennis).
Big teams. Big away days. And a side that can actually win on any given weekend. As we stand on the precipice of League One, there’s no better time to be a Wrexham fan.
