I mean, WTAF is journalism coming to?! Cardiff, Swansea and Newport County are also in Wales, but they've historically played in the Football League/Premier League (not the 'English' league) and have long been regarded as an important part of it.

"There is no doubting that the winner has to be Notts".

Well, obviously I want the winner to be Notts, but I think most Magpies fans recognise we are in a close race with a very powerful opponent and we are probably second favourites based on resources, but we're doing incredibly well to give them a run for their money.

The only value of this article would probably be to Wrexham, as a motivational tool to stick on the wall of their dressing room. It certainly doesn't speak for me or my view of Wrexham FC. Like us, they've struggled for many years and are now having their moment in the sunshine like we are. It's unfortunate we can't both win automatic promotion, but notwithstanding the usual football fan banter around 'Hollywood' owners, I don't begrudge them their good fortune and their chance to dream. Ideally I would have liked them to go up last season, because we would be dead certs for promotion this season by now, but if we both end up being promoted then I'll be fine with that. It would be the fairest outcome.
This. I respect Wrexham and it doesn't matter who backs them, they are up there because they win. Their fans have been through a lot and the team get their share of late winners so they have heart. You're meant to respect a top opponent for the challenge they give you, we are dying to beat them to the title but whoever wins this league has more than earnt it. To even publish that line about them being in Wales is brain dead. Jog on Pam.
