We may as well leave it and get straight into a season, which I suspect realists amongst us will want to end almost as soon as it has started.

Blimey why do you bother getting up with that outlook.
You don't even know who the full squad will be yet.

I dont but I can take a good guess that it will be a squad with a mixture of limited quality, hard workers, journeymen and no hopers. I have been correct at this point every season for the last 5 years and I can’t see any reason why it will change this time round.

Unless they have improved their squad significantly since last season, the F.G.R. game should be an excellent confidence booster for Wrexham.

This has to be up there as the worst choice for a friendly I've ever seen. A tinpot club who are basically the opposite of what we stand for, a club we've had to battle unfairly against financially for years and will bring no fans.

I understand the need to play a league two side but forest green? Really? Its an absolute joke.

It says very strongly that we have a club board that is totally out of touch with the fans.

I didn’t say it didn’t do us any favours, I said it didn’t benefit us from a footballing perspective.

Still, at least we are not playing a team owned by a crook and club killer who tried to get his grubby little mits on us....
