Title: Wrexham v Notts County
Post by: bog on April 10, 2023, 01:15:12 PM
To those like me who keep an eye on the non league goings on this is a massive game in The National League today. Both with 100 points and both with over 100 goals. Wrexham with a game in hand. Probably  the biggest ever fixture in non-league football. Pity Football Focus chose not to feature this.

There will definitely be streams for it too, although it is on BT Sport.

Hard to say who we would like to win.
Aren't Notts County one of the oldest football league clubs.

They are the oldest.

Well, Wrexham held on for a 3-2 win, now in first place with game in hand...

And Ben Foster saved a last minute penalty for Wrexham to deny County. I hope both make it back into the league.

proper game of football that was, exciting stuff. Just hope they both end up in League 2 next season

What a game that was. 

Paul Mullin really is a machine. Let's buy him!

I would be furious if the first Wrexham equaliser was allowed and it was against us. Clear foul twice on the defender.

Agreed, but to be fair, some of the offside decisions that went Notts County's way were "questionable" to say the least.

I thought Wrexham just about shaded it today and the final result was fair. The quality of football was better than I expected and I quite enjoyed the match, great advert for lower league football.

In complete contrast, Scunthorpe suffered a 2nd successive relegation today. Last season they were still a football league club but next season they'll be playing in the National League North.

Was a great match of football and not ruined by VAR in anyway.

To those sharp corporate suits who still harbour dreams of the European Super League this magnificent game meant nothing. That is what is wrong with football.

I bet many at Juventus are not even aware that the colour of their kit is by way of Notts County either.

To be honest it means nothing to an awful lot of people, if you are not a supporter of Wrexham or Notts County. Fortunately there are a lot of us that enjoyed the game, the only reason I watched the game is because I have scaffolding erected and the metal poles blocks the sky signal, I can only receive a few channels, with nothing else to watch I tuned in, I'm glad I did, it was a really enjoyable watch. Will I watch them again, who knows maybe.

Lower league football is reasonably priced, usually easy to park and I've had two trips to Wembley one last year with Bromley beating Wrexham and a play off final.

What does Notts County do to be as competitive as Wrexham? Quite the accomplishment without all the Celeb money

Don't be too fooled.  Although County are behind Wrexham, they have the second most expensively assembled squad in the division.

Its still a travesty that only one of them will be guaranteed to go up though.

that 1 automatic promotion place needs to be addressed, its unfair.  the game was a superb spectacle and having previously watched the tv series about wrexham i felt closer to the action
