Paramount plus questions

Hi fellow US fans, Those who watch on paramount can you answer a few questions? Can you watch the match after the live stream has ended? If you can, how long until it’s available? And is there commentary? We watched Crowley town game and had NO IDEA Lee’s goal was with 5 seconds left, as there isn’t commentary after the live stream. Thank you

Deadline predictions?

We need one to depart to make numbers, right?

Does Palmer stay or go?

Boyle? Bolton?

Upcoming Ticket Releases

I got the tickets update email today, and I'm just a little confused. Prior, I was expecting to buy tickets for the March 22 match on Feb 3... but now it seems they are waiting until the announcement on Feb 8 - so does that mean online ticket sales will be available for the March 22nd match on the 9th, or will it be the Monday that follows, Feb 10th? Thanks for the help understanding.

Wrexham / Wycombe - schedule

Who do we think has the tougher schedule for the remainder of the season between the two?

I’m worried about continuing to lose ground to Wycombe and getting stuck in that third spot and forced into the playoffs.

Went to first ever live game today vs Crawley, it absolutely blew my mind

Heya. I just wanted to share a bit about my Wrexham journey - from no interest, to an insane buzz today. Long time lurker, first time poster.

I had never bought tickets to see a football match live before, and I was never interested in football until the Welcome to Wrexham documentary.

The documentary told stories, and made the game, the team and the town both interesting and accessible. I'd been watching games on and off in previous seasons, but this season I've watched almost every game that I can on TV (when the games are streamed on Now TV). I also visited the racecourse last year and bought a scarf from the gift shop.

Well last week I decided I wanted to go to the Crawley game, as it's relatively near home. Organized with my wife to look after our young kids, and I took my Dad and Brother in law. We drove down, got into the ground after chips and a pint, and we were all buzzing.

When Wrexham scored in the very first minute, we just all went mental, and se thought the game was going to be 10-nil breeze. I don't know where the excitement came from - the atmosphere, the crowd, seeing the players all up close and together, it was amazing. But we continued watching and we saw Wrexham relaxing and getting sloppy. It was a lot of tension to get up from just 1-0. I did caution both my dad and brother in law though, that Wrexham have a habbit of "wrexhaming it up", especially in the final mins & especially away games. Of course they did, and when Crawley scored the equaliser I was proper devastated. I swore a lot lol.

However, a few minutes after the equaliser, Fletcher narrowly missed a header, but we saw every bit, it was so up close. It was so awesome to see. The crowd had been cheering and chanting all game, and I thought it must be all over, because they didn't announce how much ET there was.

Feeling like the day out had just been ruined, last minute, Elliot Lee (my personal favourite player), scored a belter of a goal. Well I, my Dad and brother in law, and the entire crowd just went absolutely insane. I was screaming and clapping and dancing and well, fuck, I don't know to to describe it. It's like totally different to watching all those games on TV. I can't remember a time in years where there was such an intense outburst of emotions, hah! Elliot Lee did his celebration just metres away from us, it was so visceral, so real.

We left the stadium on cloud 9, we were buzzing. I proudly wore my Wrexham scarf as we walked through the Crawley fans back to the car, and we didn't stop talking about the game on the 2 hour drive home.

So yeah, 3/4 years ago I'd never cared about football, had never watched a game to completion, and today I left feeling like I want to go to every game, every week and watch it live. Thanks Wrexham for being an awesome community and club! Up the town!

Who else watches on Paramount, but listens to the audio feed from the Wrexham website?

Paid for a season video pass on the website, have since national league, and it’s honestly crap video quality, but love the commentary by Marc.

Have paramount, somewhat better video quality, but their announcers are….. meh.

My workaround is to mix the two. Anyone else?

Transfer Window... Final Thoughts?

Well we've already had a look at our brand new signings. I was hoping Parky might get aggressive and put Smith in starting today, but thought that was far-fetched. Apparently I underestimated his lingering rage from Tuesday as he started Smith AND Rodriguez.

Both seemed to put on well, Rodriguez didn't look like a guy whose legs are done and Smith was as expected, he's a fairly known factor in this league. Longman looked quick and had a nice assist coming on in relief.

Are we done in the window? I would think so for incomings, but curious if there are other moves folks might like to see.

More iFollow issues on browser

Anyone else having trouble accessing the videos on Wrexham's iFollow page on their browser? I have a season subscription. Right now it is showing 'Want to watch live? Buy Video Pass" for the button where the link to the video feed should be. I have bought a video pass, and I am logged in. This doesn't seem to be an issue on mobile.

Sam Smith and Jay Rodriguez

I know I'm gonna get roasted here, but give an American fan some slack. πŸ˜… I understand signing Sam. But I've seen some people not so happy about signing Rodriguez. I get he is considered past his prime but wouldn't having a veteran player with Premier league experience help the team? Wouldn't he be able to also mentor someone like Sam and our younger players?

We are back after a little break! When you come it may say that the Uptown VFW is closed, but I assure you we are open! Just come through the back door and I will be your friendly bartender for the match. Hope to see you all there!

Rodriguez... wow.

Sam Smith is a quality player but I think I'm more excited about Jay coming in.

Technical analysis of Football divisions

Analysis of Football in different division

Interesting look at how football is played, technically, in the different levels. Accuracy demands significantly increase as level rises. More goals and more accuracy as you increase, more long range and more throw-in's lower down the pyramid.

L2, L1 and CH are closer together in style then a big gap to Premier League, as expected but nice to see the details
