The World According To

Robert GRESFORD Davies

V is for lots of things...

V is for Vital, meaning full of life and energy. Whatever is the opposite could well describe Wrexham's performance on New Year's Day. The supporters are all Volunteers and at the turnstiles a Value is placed on the space they will take to have a Vision of the game.

These supporters come even when performances are Variable and do not necessarily expect Victory. But they reserve the right to Voice a View when the team displays no Verve. After Macclesfield's third goal on 1 January, there was Vitriol and Verbal explosions as supporters left the ground Volcanic with displeasure, Voting with their feet. 

The manager and players hope the Valiant fans will return. They will, in ever decreasing numbers, but if by the letter 'Z' no zeal can be detected, even the most Votive supporters may pronounce their Verdict and Vanish.
