They lost on penalties unfortunately.  

Hartlepool back in the Football League.

Wrexham continuing to make good moves. Amazing how much having owners with connections and exposure can do for a non-league side.

TikTok has signed a deal to become Wrexham AFC’s sponsor for the next two seasons. The globally-recognised TikTok name and logo will be emblazoned across the new shirts, and the team will be launching its official account on TikTok.

The partnership between the Club, the owners, and the global entertainment platform promises to be one of the most innovative in entertainment and football, breaking new ground in many areas including the Club’s recently-announced television series, Welcome to Wrexham.

Humphrey Ker, Executive Director at Wrexham AFC, said: “We were blown away by the ideas that TikTok had for their partnership with the Club.

“The opportunity to access the full breadth of their social reach creates a community-building opportunity many will envy.

“Our soon-to-be-launched official TikTok account will feature all those involved at the Club, including both Rob and Ryan.

“To have TikTok on the front of our shirts is a great coup and we are sure it will be popular among our fanbase, as well as with those who are active on TikTok.”

TikTok is an entertainment platform that is powered by a community that is fuelling culture. From film to sports, to fashion, music, art, and more. TikTok’s large, broad community of creatives, from professionals to amateurs, is redefining entertainment.

TikTok is an official sponsor of UEFA EURO 2020, as the platform has become a vibrant hub of sports content in the last two years with football content kicking off on the platform. National teams and players come to TikTok to show everything from tricks and tips to reliving memorable moments.

Nick Tran, Global Head of Marketing at TikTok, said: “TikTok is uniquely positioned at the centre of entertainment, technology and the creator community to help bring Wrexham AFC’s story to life to global audiences.

“With the growth of football clubs, players and trends on TikTok, joining Rob and Ryan in returning Wrexham AFC to the English Football League was a natural choice for us.

“We are proud to play a small part in championing the return of Wrexham AFC to the top-flight of football and sharing the journey with the town of Wrexham, our community, and fans everywhere, in ways only TikTok can.”

Wrexham AFC’s new home shirt will be available from the Club and online from Thursday July 1, 2021. Follow the team on TikTok and online at https://www.wrexhamafc.co.uk/.

I'm slightly worried Wrexham are being set-up as a freak show club. We'll see. I wish them well, though... not for next season obviously.

There are a few clubs pushing hard for promotion in the National League. It's a league you particularly don't want to fall into at the moment because there are more teams than ever playing at EFL standard. With only two promotion spots, getting back up is a difficult task.

hello again

[Bobfoc]

It will be nice to have some company.

[Bobfoc]

End the season now.

[METALMAN]

This is better than the vast majority of other sports threads

[LL!]

I appreciate that I was able to keep up with this one.

Grimsby haven't played a game yet due to Covid, what do you expect?

Meadow Lane had a National League record crowd of 12,843 today. It was a 2-0 win for Notts as well. Good stuff.

[Baddar]

I mean, I do really enjoy La Liga, but there are top tier grounds in Spain that don't attract that many on a weekly basis.

Keepers had a mare there.

What a bizarre afternoon in the National League. Stockport County drop points at Yeovil. Then Wrexham fail to capitalise on the mess up. Should be an interesting close to the season 

[Bobfoc]

I'm resigned to another playoff defeat this season. I can't see Notts beating three top seven teams in a row.

[Lineker]

Stockport are 45 minutes away from promotion to the Football League. 

[Dang117]

Brilliant performance and season by Stockport County, back in the football league was looking touch and go towards some of the latter games

[9 to 5]

And it's all down to the greatest footballer to have never been capped scouting all their talent!
