So what's gone on at Crawley then? They appear to think that the model they employed last season will work again in L1. They sold all of their best players and replaced them with cheaper options mainly from the NL. It worked once, they seem to think they'll get away with it again.

We are miles ahead of them in terms of infrastructure and long term planning. Their execs and owners clearly too busy paying tens of thousands a week to footballers with a short shelf life left in their careers

It’s looking like our railway end will also be built before their Kop despite them having a two year jump on us with plans.
All a bit odd really - they don’t seem to be run very well outside of the first team at all.

All a bit odd really - they don’t seem to be run very well outside of the first team at all. I've made no secret of my reservations on Simon Wilson, but I would 100% have him making off the field decisions over the likes of Shaun Harvey and Fleur Robinson (who I'm aware has now gone). The proof in the pudding and all that. Carrington and the Academy are massive success stories and they haven't come close to us on either front. Reckon this could be the year they overtake us on the pitch (though I'm quietly hopeful it won't be), but they're nowhere near off it.

Robinson had a decent reputation previously didn’t she but for whatever reason didnt seem to work at Wrexham, possibly too many egos floating around.

Lets be honest unless you are personally involved in other things at a club its the first team fans are bothered with and ground improvements if they are really necessary like at EP.

Can see them ditching Parkinson at some point next season too. We have reservations about how our newbie fans would cope with a season of non progression but I think that would affect Wrexham's new fan base far more. I don't think their American fans would grasp the concept of finishing 14th at all. It would be interesting to see how they'd spin a season like that in their documentary (I haven't watched a single episode so far but I'd be tempted if they have a shit season )

Its not their fans who turn up thats their problem its this wrexham love affair especially across north wales by the hordes who never watch football in any fashion but feel they have become part of the circus. Fans worry about our ownership but they have more to worry about as i feel MS will be around longer than the yanks if things go stale.
