The Wrise of Wrexham

 Following the recent celebrations I decided to look back over the past few seasons.

In the 2019-20 season Wrexham finished in 20th place in the National League on 43 points.

This was only one point above the relegation positions.

In the 2020-21 season Wrexham were introduced to Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds.

On 27th January 2021 the Hollywood pair put money into the club to obtain new players.

On 9th February 2021 the Financial Conduct Authority approved the takeover and it was completed.

Wrexham finished in 8th place, just outside the playoff places.

In the 2021-22 season Wrexham finished in 2nd place behind Stockport County.

The team entered the playoffs and were knocked out 5-4 by Grimsby in the semi-final.

In the 2022-23 season Wrexham won the National League title finishing on 111 points.

This was only 4 points ahead of Notts County who finished second.

In the 2023-24 season Wrexham finished in 2nd place in League Two on 88 points.

In the 2024-25 season Wrexham finished in 2nd place behind Birmingham City.

This is the first time that a team has been promoted three times on the trot.

Next year in the Football League Championship.

Kettering Town F.A.Cup win

On Friday I watched Tamworth knock Huddersfield out of the F.A.Cup and yesterday I watched Kettering Town knock Northampton Town out of the F.A.Cup.

Nile Ranger scored the winner with a powerful header.

Today, Sunday, I am going to watch Wrexham.

Tamworth F.A.Cup win

 I watched the match and got to know a few players names. Cullinane-Lybird sticks out but the man of the match with a match winning throw in has to be Tommy Tonks. Not only a great throw in but a great name to boot.

My Friday Night Football

 Settling down now to watch by National League pick, Tamworth, take on Huddersfield.

So much going on

 I know from past experience that it is tricky to follow so many teams from the top of the pyramid to the bottom so I have to focus and following that brilliant television show with George Dowell and his team I have been delighted to see Worthing moving up the table and position themselves neatly behind the leaders.

Worthing are also in the F.A.Cup and I hope they make good progress.

All other teams will get more attention when my life slows down a bit.

Go Worthing!

Personal Pyramid

 SO .... I finally got round to sorting out my personal pyramid:
