Went to my watch my home town club Walsall V Wrexham tonight was a good open game but you lot were hardly in it. The Walsall fans were cock a hoop beating your team. I bet you get that every where you go now with your Hollywood reputation.
No doubt most teams want to beat Wrexham now. I guess by "hollywood reputation" you mean the club having owners who seem to be trying to use their money to do the right things by the club they bought and leveraging their public image to get as much done as they can from it.

Every fan wants their club owned by people who love the club. Wrexham got very lucky but given the state they were in, good luck to 'em.

What was the home crowd last night? Looked like a lot of empty seats on the TV.

Oh and your third was way offside.

The ground only holds 10,000 attendance was 9,000 there were two blocks closed due to crowd separation so I would say only a couple hundred home seats empty

I am not knocking the Hollywood owners, in fact I admire what they have done for Wrexham, the club and the town.

Wrexham weren't at it last night. Walsall were first to everything. I desperately wanted to win to shut your number 15 up, but hey ho.
It was a pleasure to watch with no VAR to spoil, and I think neither Trainer came on the pitch. Great football match really enjoyed it.

Saw that and had a little snigger about "the class of 92" and Salford still struggling to find their way out. Big achievement from Phil Parkinson and the team.

Notts County too, after last season.

Congrats Wrexham.

I think next season will be much tougher. But what a journey so far.

I’d have thought it would have been a disappointment to the owners not to finish as champions with a wage bill massively more than anyone else in the league.

Well done for getting promotion though. Will be interesting to see how far up the leagues Wrexham go.

I agree with the comments about Salford, they are way above their level now and I can’t see how it’s sustainable with such a small fan base.

Would be surprised if Wrexham go up again next season but wouldn’t bet against it.

They will get to the championship but it will likely be their level for a few years at least
