The World According To

The A-Z of Life - N is for many things...

N could be for NIL and the way James Alexander Gordon pronounces it on Sports Report! N is also for Northampton and Notts County, two teams we seem to be closely associated with this season in the NETHER Regions. N too for NOMINATION when it comes to man-of -the-match awards. RP webmaster Gareth Collins had a difficult task on Boxing Day and there was no deafening applause when Lee Trundle's name was announced. A few minutes later, Trundle put Gareth's nomination beyond dispute with a splendid goal.

N for NEGLECT. A Boxing Day crowd of under 4,000 does not need to be announced twice! It was the smallest crowd in the Second Division and only Macclesfield had fewer in the Third Division. Wrexham suffer from part-time supporters who note success and join in the excitement, but disappear when needed most.
