It's the complete opposite of an underdog story.
One of the worst things about this is people all over the world will now consider themselves Wrexham fans and will be willing clubs like Notts to slip up. They'll be cheering on the big-spending 'underdog,' hoping the beat us to the title. But we're the antithesis of everything they stand for. Instead of throwing money around and hoping it eventually works, we're signing young and relatively unknown players from the league below and coaching them to become better. If this is a two-horse race (it probably isn't), we're the massive underdog.
But hey, that's the way I like it. Massive pressure on them, very little on us.
