To be fair im sick and tired hearing about Wrexham

 

It makes me chuckle when idiots like Suzanna Reid describe the success as "Roy of the Rovers" stuff as if they were a massive underdog.

Congratulations to them but unfortunately, just like Salford until the BBC got bored with their stagnation, Wrexham will be the full focus of any FL media attention for a while.

 

Think the votes are do around December time. At that point Cook was scoring goals but wasn’t that great.

Now, he’s playing very well and scoring. All round game is top draw.

Shocked he didn’t win it but I understand why if the voting was around December like I said.

 

I’ve been watching - I was really looking forwards to this, but it’s been so disappointing.
It’s not an event designed with viewers in mind - they keep breaking for 15-25 minutes for each course of their meal with nothing to keep us entertained - just a screen saver.
Fingers crossed Cooky gets the recognition he deserves

 

I can’t really comment as I haven’t seen Hoskins play but Cook couldn’t have done much more.

 

I like Wrexham.. They have had it very rough for years and have been nearly team for ages... who was that really good striker they had? Lee Trundell ,,,... a beer monster but could score a goal....

Its terrible. Stream keeps cutting out and the volume is worse than at VP.

 

Good luck to them trying to award the League Two Golden Boot to Hoskins

 

Not sure if this works or not. Tickled me tho

 

Can guarantee Salford vs Wrexham will be on Sky twice next season. The EFL just signed a new contract with Sky 3 weeks back, i hope they have expanded the allowance for L1&2 games to be shown. On the old contract, they have League 1 and 2 tied together, and then other rights for the championship, but on the old contract Sky were only able to show 20 games from L1&2 a season, but as your Sunderlands, Sheff Weds and Derbys of the world were in L1 for the majority of the last contract, it was pretty much L1 only as part of that deal with the odd L2 game thrown in. I think the championship deal is a minimum of 2 games a week and also a minimum of 2 midweek runs per season, where Sky show every Championship game on the red button.

With Wrexhams pull to casual fans, they'll take a fair few of the L1&2 allowance going forward. The BBC Radio coverage alone for Wrexham vs Notts Co the other week had over 1.1M listeners, never mind the BT figures. The numbers Wrexham videos do for BT sports on Twitter is ridiculous, Sky will want to eat as much out of the Wrexham pie as they can.

 

I find that a little difficult to accept, not checked the stats but I would think with the league goals Cooks has scored there won't be many teams he hasn't put at least one goal past their keeper over the two games.

I was thinking it might have been that Hoskins has made 1more assist than Cook although Hoskins is still 8 goals behind Cook which is a pretty big margin .

 

I was meaning more about what have the two new guys put into the club knowing they will get a % of the takings from Disney, I'm sure they have invested their own brass but knowing you have a % of money coming in from Disney+ will possibly go directly to the running of the club and the building of that new Kop behind the goals.
I wish Wrexham all the best going forward (unless it against us) but felt at the end of the game against Boreham Wood the new owners were more important than the players who had won the league, I'd love someone like those two getting involved with our club for reasons you've quoted above.

 

So you'd much rather we go for 1 promotion place instead of 3. As that's what those 2 coming up would mean.

 

Its hard to know exactly what their outgoings are without looking at their accounts but i'd expect their wage bill matches anything currently in this division and probably beyond. Their potential revenue streams will make big inroads into that, i remember reading they get £3million a series for the welcome to Wrexham show and their social media reach is incredible. They were getting more hits than Liverpool and Arsenal the other week when their games were on.

 

What an absolute fu@king joke
