Yet another win for the town. You do look like a real dick now if you didn't before. " dancing on your tables" ... We'll be in the Championship before you clowns find the football league. But wait! You're 16th in the league butthole! Unless there's some flipin' biblical flipin' miracle, I bet my right eye you're not promoted this season, or make the play offs!. We're absolute rubbish. Just look at Red Passion. Yet, we're seventh in a cr@p league. That can change with a new manager, decent signings etc You're a bit of a dick yourself aren't you? You've got a flipin' long wait to be in the Championship sonny jim. Someone fetch me a bigger net?

Everyone in Wrexham took the p**s when Whitchurch Alport beat Shrewsbury in the Shropshire Senior Cup. Your only realistic chance of silverware but, a quick glance notices some redneck team called Shawbury United are the current holders.
I had take my spectacles off, move closer to the screen to see it wasn't Shrewbury//Shrowsbury
It's a sad state of affairs when your nearest and dearest Chester, whatever they call themselves, have only won the Cheshire Senior Cup once. And Shawbury are the holders of the similar cup in Shropshire?
Jesus Christ! Look how much we've filled in the trophy cabinet? And European glory...

Aw bless, you think we’re still interested in the county cups. Clubs of your size may have that as a target at the start of the season. Not the case with league clubs though my friend. I know you may have forgotten what that feels like. Been a fair old while now hasn’t it .....

You were more than happy to enter the Welsh Cup for the cash rewards Wrexham, Cardiff & Swansea brought to your coffers. We won it a record 23 times, you 6... Times when your fans go on about the great sides you dad. Overall, everything considered, FA Cup, League Cup, Welsh Cup, Europe.... we put you in the shade.... www.wrexhamafc.co.uk/club/honours

You’ve certainly cast a long shadow over The National League for quite some time now. Take some time out Notorious, enjoy the unbridled euphoria of the promised sunlit uplands. And then, when we are once again rivals and on a par on and off the field, let’s enjoy a renewed rivalry. At the moment you resemble the trainspotter screaming at the Intercity 125 as it hurtles through the station refusing to stop to let you on. You used to be better than that.

What's happened Notorious?
If you're going to overtake us in 50 years time then the idea is to narrow the gap not widen it!
And you're steaming like a boiling kettle, keep going like that and getting out of the little league will be the least of your worries.

Just found this interesting take on the take over.
The great gods of capitalism have looked down on the dirty proles and given us, lowly CPD Wrecsam their charity. Thank the lord for the benign gaze of our betters falling on us here in the hinterlands of North Wales.
We are too stupid to do anything for ourselves and will gladly hand over all we have, all that we sacrificed our nervous systems for, because success and riches beyond belief supersede everything, any integrity or idea of solidarity. We will rise out of the slime of non-league unfettered and rejoin the lapdogs in the league. Our shackles will fall from us and disintegrate into dust as our pimp’s bit of coin helps us trample over our enemies. We’ve salivated over this sugar daddy, hoping and praying that we could be the chosen one, plucked from the pack, like those desperate girls at high-school proms who daren’t make eye contact with their potential suitors, for fear of rejection, for fear of being left on the shelf. Make no bones about it, we have sold our soul. Without promotion, Wrexham Supporters Trust was destined to be dispatched as soon as the opportunity arose and a barren spell prevailed.
The Trust tenure was born out of necessity, not political ideology. Our fanbase is politically diverse, as is the case with the majority of historic football clubs. This very detail ensured a shelf life for the Trust. The Trust model in the eyes of most CPD Wrecsam fans had run its course years ago, and last season’s cack only heightened the sense of cynicism. The death knell for fan ownership is in the diversity of beliefs in the fanbase, and therefore the DNA of the board, because of course, although fan-owned, there was never anything remotely socialist about the venture.
A board or Trust without socialism at its very core was always going to be transitory, because ultimately the folk at the helm along with the punters (for the most part) do not have the same underlying principles as a club like FC United. Because they’re not socialists, they are happy to trample over others for success, rather than thinking holistically about being an intrinsic part of creating a culture where fan-owned clubs have more or less the same resources. So many of our fans never bought into the idea of fan ownership. They were waiting to hand over the reins the first chance they had, to chase the soulless dream of the Premier League. There is nothing more wretched, nothing that has sullied the game I love more than the money men, Sky Sports and the bloody Premier League.
My feeling as an owner of my club was that any success really belonged to us. There would be nothing artificial about it. It would be ours to celebrate and this in itself could have done great things for fan ownership. Now I understand that without socialism, fan ownership is a veneer that disappears at the slightest hint of big money and a leg up. Even my friends are like giddy school girls at the prospect of steam rollering everyone in sight, backed up by the Rob and Ryan behemoth. Who incidentally seem like lovely lads, though that’s not the point, is it? How can I truly be a socialist and revel in my club being sold to millionaires?
I voted yes, of course, because the economic boost to the area will be massive and my family will be directly affected by this. But I voted yes with an extremely heavy heart. And my reasons for voting yes didn’t make me feel any better. Why should I feel better because the big hand coming out of the sky chose us? I feel sullied and compromised. I believe in the basic idea of redistributing wealth and that any millionaires are abhorrent, philanthropic or not. The very idea of someone being a millionaire is an insult to any working class person.
Lighten up Ry you miserable get, think of the area, the community, post-industrial towns all over are like Wrecsam, you can’t begrudge us this. We need something to hold onto, something to make us smile again, especially after Covid. Got us, haven’t they?
The Trust was on its last legs when swathes of fans started to see their arse with the mediocrity of the team and last season’s dalliance with relegation nailed it. But we never understood what we held in our hands. You don’t change clubs because the owners change do you? Those who formed FCUM did though. Is provincialism like an opiate for the masses? I’ll be watching it unfold..I’ll take it in my stride and try not to be like a Leninist Victor Meldrew around Cae Ras, but there will always be a voice in my head that knows we could have been a part of something much more important than success. I’ve said it before but I truly believe the soul of football resides in non-league. I’ve seen the appropriation and commercialisation of football over the last 30 years, to the point where there is very little there of the game I grew up watching.
Like the Reliant Robins that used to surround the pitch, so much has gone the way of the dodo. And not all for the better, believe me. Tread softly tycoons, when you’ve gone we’ll still be living in this town, taking our kids and grandchildren to the match, struggling to get by and holding each other up, needing a little dream. Just a little dream, not this one that belongs to everyone else now.
Yours in love and solidarity.

Everyone in Wrexham took the p**s when Whitchurch Alport beat Shrewsbury in the Shropshire Senior Cup. Really? As many of your fans (including yourself at various points) have reminded us over the years, we aren't rivals, Chester are your rivals, none of you care about Shrewsbury. So why any of your fans would care about our youth side losing to Whitchurch in the Shropshire Senior Cup? I thought you celebrating it at the time was pretty desperate but still clinging onto it 18 months later, I almost feel sorry for you. You have all this money, a netfix documentary, bumper sales of gin, a trip to the Shrewsbury Hotel, walking across the England Bridge, so much look forward to in life.

Good evening farmhands!
You lost in added time again! You should be re-branded as Shrowsburry Lost In Added Time F.C! This was a la Ricketts!
And South Stand Salopian called us BOTTLERS! Hilarious! 90' Shrowsburrrurry! Hilarious!
I must confess, looking at our table, fifth in the League, it's a bit of a Talking Heads moment. How did we get here?
I've said before how cr@p our league is but,our manager, and players but, we're in the mix .
Rob and Ryan have thrown in bonuses to encourage our lazy players to perform. It looks like it's flipin' working already. Our owners have thrown in £250,000 into the pot, play offs, promotion... It this can't give them a flipin' kick up the backside...nothing will.
Let's be honest here. In two seasons none of them will be at our club.
We've been handed financial backing for once in a lifetime!
And YOU! Look at you! You look like you're in a relegation battle already. Your next half dozen games will shape your season.
AFC Wimbledon
Fleetwood Town
Rochdale
Charlton Athletic
I can't see you picking up more than 5 points from these games.
I can't wait till we come to your town. Bossin' it as usual.
It won't be long
And you may tell yourself. We don't have owners putting money into our club?
And you may tell yourself. How did we land on our feet?

"I’ve said it before but I truly believe the soul of football resides in non-league"
A great read that.
So...he wanted them to stay in non-league, a distinct lack of ambition. The statement stinks of bitterness and I get a sense of defeatism. I can sympathise to a degree, then I remember it's only wexham and go back to more important things like channel-hopping, scratching my nuts and wondering if I had a chance with Carol Vorderman.

You know nothing about league football in general, mind you it’s been 13 years since Wrexham were there so I’ll let you off 🐑😂 You said we’d be bottom 3 at Christmas, we weren’t. Reality: We’ll stay up comfortably and Wrexham will bottle it.

Alright lads!
Making the most of furlough with a few beers and fine spirits to cap the evening off before the most important are called back to work first in Wales. It looks like the executives in Wales could be back to the office in little over a fortnight....till the next outbreak and lockdown.
I'm missing my holidays awfully. Last year I had 4 cancelled. ABTA protected. It's been a similar story so far this year also.
I must admit, I'm guilty, like Bootlegger, of adopting a foreign accent when I arrive abroad. Portal Nous, Nissi Beach Resort etc A couple of days of mixing with the locals, a few refreshments and their lingo is contagious! You start to sound like foreigner in these British sovereign countries!
Enjoy...
Fifth in the League and rockin' baby!
