Matt Crowell’s warning to Wrexham in the Evening Leader is appropriate, but I can’t help feeling I wouldn’t mind him being on our side as we face up to the fight. Is this a strange psychological symptom in me? I can’t help noticing a certain regret as I see our previous players at different clubs-it’s almost like Stockholm Syndrome! I’ve started to hanker after the players who handcuffed us to the Conference radiator!
I know we had to have a clear-out, but Crowell was a good battling…

- Conference Won’t Let Us Mess Around - The Non League Paper carried a story on its front page yesterday which could have repercussions for us in the near future. Bearing in mind our reluctance to file our accounts, the fact that they intend to compel clubs to regularly disclose their financial information, with particular emphasis on any debt to the Inland Revenue, could be a timebomb for us. Remember, this is a body which isn't scared of relegating clubs if they don't meet their strict fiscal regulations-just ask Halifax,...

- Desperation - Just listening to the excellent Football Weekly podcast by The Guardian talking about the Johnstones Paint Trophy Final tomorrow and found myself getting excited at the prospect of certain Conference sides, including those relegated from the Football League the previous season, taking part in it. How desperate am I? Read Desperation at Marks Wrexham FC Blog...
- Carden Parked - Brian Little's first acquisition of the Summer looks a sound one. I seem to recall Paul Carden as a solid box-to-box midfielder, but more importantly he has just been a key part of the Cambridge team which got to the play-off final last weekend. Having seen some high profile Conference players move clubs already it's good to see we're not going to be scraping around, but are looking to sign the type of player who has succeeded at that level.

- Clutching At Straws - Last Saturday reminded me of an epic match in our not so distant past, and as I started researching the column I was surprised to find that the two games were played on the same date. Coincidentally, our match against Dagenham and Redbridge on Easter Monday took place exactly eighteen years after a titanic clash with Colchester United. The two games shared a lot of similarities. In March 1990 we were adrift at the bottom of the table, staring The Conference in the face. We were desperate for... Read Clutching At Straws at Marks Wrexham FC Blog...
- So it’s true! - Looks like Carden's on his way to Cambridge. With McEvilly already there, it looks like we've got our first Conference rivalry!! It'll be interesting to see if the club sits tight over this-we might find out what a pre-contract's actually worth! There are cases of clubs successfully suing for compensation over a player reneging on a pre-contract, but I'm struugling to find circumstances which are exactly the same. The Fran Merida case suggests that a pre-contract is worth something, but the... Read So it's true! at Marks Wrexham FC Blog...

- Nothing In Reserve - I've got to say that, looking at our relegation logically, there shouldn't be too much to fear. So why is the club in such a panic? I'm not naive. I know it'll be harder to convince players to stay or sign for a Conference side. I know crowds will be down, if only because away support will be virtually non-existant. And I know other revenue streams will be reduced or stopped. But it's not the end of the world, yet we're acting like it is. Quite apart from Brian Little's cull of the...

- The Cull Begins - So the first tranche of players released has been announced, and although there are some sensible decisions (and one which is a blessed relief!) I'm still left with a basic concenr about whether Brian Little's decision-making is what it should be. Don't get me wrong; I don't think Michael Proctor is God's gift to football. However, he was the only player last season who looked like he'd score goals and please don't try to tell me he wouldn't have some impact in The Conference! Perhaps more...

- A Good Reason To Avoid The Conference - I must be a visual learner as a thread on Red Passion moved me to make the rather dodgy home made map you can see above. The black dots show the teams that would be in The Conference next season if the season ended today and the second placed teams won the play-offs. We'll certainly be racking up the miles, although I suppose London Reds will get a chance to see a few more games!!! The red dots are the sides in the relegation places-typically the only sides that are fairly local are going... Read A Good Reason To Avoid...
