Grimsby through to final after pulsating 5-4 win in extra-time. The Hollywood dream is over for Wrexham. Another season trying to buy their way out of the National League.

The Champions League final is going to be a bit of an anti-climax after that!

Wrexham belong in the National League. There is no escape. I'm sure they are already looking forward to the trips to Gateshead, Dorking, Maidenhead etc.

Mullins 2nd goal for Wrexham was scored with his hand. If Grimsby had scored it, it would have been “the hand of cod.”

Probably staged result. Half of the Netflix money offered to Grimsby to stage it like a movie.

Netflix will get more viewers the favourites lost in dramitic fashion.

The owners are happy at making more profit than actually winning for the upcoming series.

I have to disagree with you there. Wrexham don't belong in the National League - they belong in their National League..... the League of Wales.

How many headers? If you can show aggression in the box and beat your man, you have a chance to score. Forget everything that happens in the middle, it’s all about the cross and getting the head on it.

No Wrexham, Cardiff, Swansea or Newport fan would ever go for that given the gulf in quality. The League of Wales (now Cymru Premier) has only been going about 30 years so it's not really an option. Plus they've always played in England. I guess if they went for independence it might be a different matter.

Up here in Scotland we've had Berwick Rangers (from Northumberland) in our league system for years. You'd be welcome to have them back - they are currently in the Lowland League (Scottish non-leagues).

No thanks if they struggle in any Scottish league they must be abysmal!

Fantastic game! Watched it live. Good football played by both sides.
Either of those two teams would have hammered us.

Yes. Always enjoyed watching him playing in a Barrow shirt. Always gave 100%.
