Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are reportedly interested in buying Wrexham FC. Somehow, this is a tame story by today's standards.

A friend of mine is from Wrexham and he was largely cautious about the rumours swirling around the club. He's also a gigantic Always Sunny (and Deadpool) fan, so needless to say he's extremely excited yet confused now as to why two of his favourite actors decide to seemingly randomly buy into the struggling non-league side he's supported all his life.

Twelve National League North teams have called for the season to be suspended. If you look at their league positions, you can probably understand why:

AFC Telford 13th
Alfreton Town 21st
Bradford (Park Avenue), 14th
Blyth Spartans 22nd (bottom)
Curzon Ashton 16th
Darlington 19th
Farsley Celtic 11th
Gateshead 10th
Guiseley 20th
Kettering Town 18th
Southport 17th
Spennymoor Town 12th

To be honest, I think the inverse is probably true - that the only reason the top-placed clubs don't want to push suspending the season is because they have a shot at promotion.

The clubs are only really being offered loans instead of grants, and for many of them that just isn't a feasible way for them to keep running going forward. It's a tough situation but I don't blame any side in non-league who feels they don't want to accept that as their only option to keep playing.

Fully agree with them suspending the season for at least two weeks. They should probably scrap the whole thing and try again in August. The discrepancy between matches played by some teams is already too much to catch up on anyway. Darlington are six games behind Gloucester in the North; all but Braintree are at least two matches behind Dartford and Hungerton in the south. It's a mess.

So many of Notts County's games have been postponed so far. Tomorrow's match against Torquay, if it goes ahead, will be their first league match in nearly a month, which is ridiculous for the usually jam-packed December and January schedules. National League teams are typically about ten matches behind those in the EFL right now.

Goalkeeper Sam Slocombe got sent off in the 18th minute of Notts County's match with Dagenham and Redbridge tonight, and there wasn't a goalkeeper on the bench. Veteran midfielder Michael Doyle spent the rest of the match in goal and was only robbed of a clean sheet in stoppage time. Notts won 3-1. Amazing.
