The latest results for my picks:
Good day Tuesday.
Bad day Wednesday.
The English Football Pyramid officially extends to Level 11. For the 2024-25 season my choices to follow are: Arsenal & Brentford, Plymouth, Exeter & Wrexham, Salford, Tamworth, Worthing, Tiverton, Exmouth, Buckland, Bovey Tracey, & Elmore. I am also following the women's pyramid which extends to Level 7. My ladies teams are Arsenal, Bristol City, Exeter, Worthing, Torquay, Feniton, Teignmouth & Shaldon Villa.
Pride of place goes to Bovey Tracey:
Brentford starting on trajectory to relegation.
Wrexham once again lost by a narrow margin.
Exeter were well beaten by a single goal.
Salford WIN.
Tamworth lost to my old favourites Southend.
Exmouth and Buckland played out the F.A.Cup match to an expected conclusion.
BOVEY TRACEY SCORED SIX GOALS.
Elmore lost at home to Alphington.
The season is now underway and I look forward to checking all the tables soon.
Great Watch for Wrexham fans:
Ollie Palmer earning a place in the squad for the new season.
Back to blog for who knows how long.
Not so good as Cheltenham dominated the match against Exeter.
Exmouth disappointed in this one.
Salford have still not managed to grab my support. They are just a league two pick.
Tiverton and Buckland as expected.
My picks (one at every level of the Football Pyramid) keep me interested even though getting a ticket to the Arsenal is virtually impossible.
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.
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.
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.
Settling down now to watch by National League pick, Tamworth, take on Huddersfield.
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!
