Another win for Stevenage today - doing much better than expected this season.

Have Wrexham set a new world record? Has any other professional team ever scored three goals in time added on at the end of the first half?

A good club being asset stripped and dragged down the divisions so an absentee owner can make a quick buck. Somehow.

Good on them for protesting.

It's worse than that!

As you know my son plays for them, lots of the players are local lads and because of the ownership/financial issues, they can only sign free players or promote those from the youth set up, players are gutted with what's going on with the club too, their friends, staff all made redundant before Xmas, players canteen not been open since Xmas, players not fed, staff not paid...

I'd be on the pitch if I was there too!

I understand making edgy jokes, but its done within a close friend group and with people who know you aren’t being serious. It’s crazy that people think it’s ok to do this kind of thing in public, like most things these days, it’s probably done in order to gain some clout, no doubt the police will find who did it.

Shocking.

Hate hearing these stories.

Happened to my hometown club Scarborough. Owners who were dipping into their pockets and lying about their wealth.

Later went to jail for fraud.

They have to do a better job protecting clubs.

It boils down to it now being run down, so trying to strip it of assets rather than pay any debt back.

It's such a shame as the coaching and academy set up was fantastic and they developed lots of players too

So glad it's happened.

Thr club won't offer my son a contract, even though they are telling me they will, but also won't allow any of the 4 prem clubs after him to talk with us either.

Literally held by a contract.

On a plus side, another solid game from him all be it a loss, with high praise from David seaman of all people who is coaching at arsenal!

The academy there was up there with the best outside of the premier league until recently, but ever since John Madejski sold the club to dodgy Russian back in 2012, things there have just gone from bad to worse.
