Already 2-0 down first game back in the football league. For some reason it gives me great joy seeing them getting beat, will hopefully pipe down all the media about them!

So so glad. The love in on Sky Sports before the game was completely odd.

Is that because of the summer tour?

Their keeper was sent off after 15 minutes, they obviously didn’t have a sub keeper on the bench as they didn’t bring anybody on.

Put ‘em in for goals for sure but avoid results.

I love how Salford won 2 nil, but didn't have any shots or shots on target and neither of their 2 goals were own goals.

Wrexham genuinely felt they had a better squad than us last season. The hype about them is ridiculous and no way they are going to walk the league.

They might do well, but I think it will be a lot tougher than they believe.

Proud old club who've gone through some dark days, so delighted for those fans who went through that, that they get their day in the sun.

At the expense of others who are also due that but don't have Hollywood owners?

Yeah, it's not just the sun though. It's the Mirror, the Mail, the Telegraph, Sky Sports, the BBC, ITV, C4 too etc.etc. etc.

It's the way of Football and always has been. Same way we got in the measure, getting a generous benefactor to raise us above.

It's not at the expense of others, it's what's happened for over a century and a half.

You would surely agree though, that what's happening now is on quite another level to the local chairmen of yesteryear?

Not in Wrexham's case, no. If they're in it because they fancy a bit of excitement, so what?

If anything they've spent less than David Cooke... and certainly bribed less.

Spending millions upon millions in the Conference isn't quite what the typical club in that league can do, to put it mildly. It just inflates wages further down the pyramid and encourages more unsustainable spending from teams without a tycoon benefactor.

Not for me I'm afraid

But that's the way it's always been. Other clubs don't have to copy. For every Norris or Hill-Wood with Glossop, there's a New Brighton Tower Company after all.

Wigan, Forest green and Fleetwood all have in effect done similar - the only difference is Wrexham are a club with a long proud history

New Brighton Tower signed England internationals before they played in the league btw. Bet Doncaster were glad they didn't follow.

Not quite as easy to buy leagues once in the FL as Salford have discovered. Was always disappointed in the Nevilles vanity project whilst Bury went bust. I'm much happier for teams like Luton who've done it properly than everyone saying little old Bournemouth backed by a poundshop Abramovic.
