Heard a ‘Wrexham’ shout! Fair play to a @Wrexham_AFC supporter that has checked into the hotel behind one of the goals to try and get a glimpse of the action at Telford.

A big thank you to @BenFoster. Spoke to his agent who said he would get Ben to phone me to do an interview on @Wrexham_AFC LDV Vans Trophy win 15 years ago. Spent 20 mins reminiscing about the big day and his career really starting off at Wrexham. Top goalkeeper and a top bloke👍.

FT - 2-0 to @Wrexham_AFC at Eastleigh. A much needed win and thoroughly deserved. Still a lot of work to be done but it's a start. And it makes the 220 mile journey home more bearable too.

Mad to think there were more fans at @Wrexham_AFC v Salford on Boxing Day than their playoff final v Fylde at Wembley today, but attendances don’t win u promotion. Personally glad Salford have gone up as they’d only splashed the cash next season again. We go again 🔴⚪️.

What a surreal day seeing @Wrexham_AFC fans snapping up season tickets in huge numbers. There’s been some lows the last few years but this is everyone’s reward for sticking with the club - Wrexham fans have never stopped coming in non-league anyway👋👋 - so enjoy everyone 🔴⚪️.

Gary Lineker just called it “despair” Liverpool missing out on Premier League title with 97 points - try 98 and @Wrexham_AFC not winning Conference title in 2012. That was “despair” and still is.
