On the Kop...
 

Some may remember my past ramblings in the paper format of this forum as a badly dressed 16 year old. I recall someone writing in to RP and saying the view that myself and the late Dean Domerecki were less common than our surnames.

Some of the football has been boring but it’s Christmas Day and we are second.

Sure we ain’t giving loved one tickets to Man City on Boxing Day but if we were we would be moaning like heck Flynn was sat in the stands... now we are moaning Darlington is sat in the stands watching the shape. (For the record my grandad left those tickets at home and we arrived thirty seconds to kick off via a ridiculous trek across north Shropshire, north Cheshire and up to Wrexham. The absolute best of times. As people who read my On The Kop pieces back in paper form RP, my first football was being bored to tears watching Whitchurch Alport Reaerves - the thinking being that if I could endure that I would relish a team of Marriott, Hardy, Carey, Brammer Et al.

Being a Wrexham fan ain’t easy but so long as it entertains or fills a void then it’s doing a job. Personally I’d rather day dream about going up and one day playing Shrewsbury again than bemoaning we are too defensive.

Life is cyclical - one day we are hammered on scotch writing forum posts for an audience that are no longer there, the next you are in the away end at some championship team In the cup who are bloody there for the taking.

Being a Wrexham fan ain’t easy but it’s the one thing that binds is all..

Have a brilliant break everyone

Keep the Faith

nice post

Re: On the Kop...
 

If I recall correctly you were the person who in one column wrote about refusing a date with a Shrewsbury fan as you couldn't stomach going out with one. Within a couple of issues a section of your column began "my girlfriend, who is a Shrewsbury fan..." and I LOLed. A lesson for us all to not take football too seriously and you've followed it up with a great message today 👍

[QUOTE=[Removed User];2097029]Wow. Didn’t expect to see Deans name pop up today.

Have a great break one and all, biut especially if you contributed to the paper version of this. I truly miss the death threats :)

Anyways, what’s happened to your excellent Twitter account?[/QUOTE]

Was Finding the whole social media experience was having too negative an impact on my mental health. As someone who’s been in recovery since last February - I was finding the daily grind of misery too triggering !!!
