Haruki: Ebbsfleet is in north Kent, south of the Thames - formerly Gravesend and Northfleet! London is obviously a strong catchment area for players but by and large, history has shown an even proportion between north and south clubs in both promotion and relegation from the National League.

Not sure you can include the premiership. Manchester and Liverpool are rather well represented. You can actually point to the fact that it seems more southern clubs are coming down to our division.

Easy to see why players stay down south. Most players at this level frequently move clubs as contracts are short. It probably saves moving the family to new houses every summer. The main benefit to us is that we are close to Liverpool which produces a lot of footballers, there have been a lot of scousers to put on the wrexham shirt in recent years

Agree with this. The country may be finding things tough, but theres money down there.

Up the Flylde coast though it does seem to buck the trend though

Calm down chaps . Southern bias has nothing to do with economics in the South East or poor old Carrington . Its that pesky Radio Wales coverage isn't it?

I remember talking to Joey Jones when he played at Chelsea he was still living in Wrexham he said it was so expensive to live down there. He would travel down to London 2 or 3 times a week to train with them.
