A convincing 3-1 home win over Boreham Wood (two great goals from Mullin) clinched the National League title, and promotion back to the Football League.
It's been a great battle with Notts County, who now have it all to do in the playoffs. A lot pf people will be wishing the Magpies well.
I know they've had the Hollywood treatment and have been well-funded, but you've still got to win it, and the NL is notoriously difficult to get out of. The club has been at this level for far too long.
The owners seem to have connected with the town as well and are funding local initiatives.

I agree, yes much money involved but they appear to have gone about it in the right way.

Think its given the national league a lot of publicity which has been good. It must be the best 5th level in world football by miles I reckon. Been a pretty epic battle with Notts County. For a club to finish the season with at least 106 points and not get automatic promotion, must be a record.
The whole "fairy tale" thing is laying it on a bit thick though. They are a big club for this level and almost certainly had the biggest budget in the division so I don't think it quite compares with something like Leicester winning the prem in 15/16, would be fair to call that a fairy tale.
Overall good for the league, no doubt. Not sure if we are going to be a contender for promotion next season, but having Wrexham out the way can only help us!

Deserve to go up. I know they had to become Hollywoods bitch to do it and they spent ALOT of money but they spent it well and you can't argue with the results. Good luck to them in the EFL. I wonder if they will vote for 3 up now?

We all know what they were before money , memories like failing to beat us in the play offs and not selling out, finishing below us in the season that ended due to covid
4/92 (4/72) now from a different country, how embarrassing
