Rob is a Philly guy so he gets the idea of rooting for an underdog. The Phillies are the losingest team in professional sports, the Eagles have only won one Super Bowl and it didn't come until 2018, the Sixers haven't won a title in 40 years and the Flyers haven't won in 48 years and they suck right now. He's in this for the long haul. What are the chances they can win promotion again in the next few years? They have big sponsors and all of a sudden are generating more revenue...

BBC put the crowd at 10,000. Not bad!

I suspect it could have been a lot more but for a new stand being erected behind the right hand side, from where the tv cameras are situated.

Personally I expect them to go straight up into league one next season, as there seems to be very little in it quality wise between league 2 and the Conference these days

But what happens when the oil, erm, acting jobs dry up and they get bored?

 

[JRockBlues]

Wonder if Stoke have sent scouts to watch this guy yet.

Wrexham one game away from the title now after their 3-0 win over Yeovil.

Ian Hutchison 1970s could do that too

I know someone who'll confirm (or deny) your suspicions.....

Calling @Eccles Blue!

Not 100% sure but it looks too low for me and the barrier at the edge definitely not high enough. Although it might be the far side going toward Carrington way. But on balance I’d say no.

The only thing that has thrown me a little is if it is an old photo. Before they finished the whole of the TC there was a yard with those sort of containers.

Good luck to Wrexham today. An amazing story with owners who genuinely seem to love the club they've purchased, the area, and the fans. What they've done for a dieing, ex-coal mining town is immeasurable. It will be interesting to see how far this journey goes.

Playing in the Premier League in 5 years time, anyone?

1-1, cracking cross and easy header.

 

[hertsblue]

What a goal, 2-1 Wrexham

 

[Mayor West]

Superb goal from Mullin!

 

[hertsblue]

That 3rd goal looked onside, think linesman got it wrong putting his flag up, still 2-1

 

[hertsblue]

Mullin again 3-1
