Lovely day to be heading north to watch Wealdstone 
Why have they spelt Wrexham with a letter c?Front cover of Wealdstone programme for this weekend.
They spell it with an X in Wrexham.
That happened to me in school. We were taught it from '74 until '77. It was an hour a week & not a single one of us took any of it in. The only word that I can remember is, tŷ. Which I believe means, house.
Very respectful programme in many ways.Front cover of Wealdstone programme for this weekend.
By the way, I also spell Wrexham with a c…
No doubt about it.
Well over 2,000 tickets sold for tomorrow. On course to beat the 2,669 league record for a crowd at the Vale.
We've asked around, but we don't know where he went. All that we do know, is, that he didn't turn up at Wealdstone this afternoon as arranged.
Lynn? Yeah, a pretty chequered past of ownership at the club. It's still Mr. Stephen Cleeve at present.
They've clearly fallen out, big time.All sounds a bit strange over at York.
York City have sacked manager John Askey after a year in charge of the National League club.
Askey, 58, was appointed on a short-term deal following the sacking of Steve Watson in November 2021 when the club were in the National League North.
After being named permanent boss in March, he led them to promotion to the National League through the play-offs.

York City Statement
As mentioned in our earlier statement, the club board recognises that some fans will not support or fully understand the termination of John Askey’s contract. As such, the board wishes to clarify some of the reasons why we reached this difficult decision.
On 3rd November, John reached out to directors Alastair Smith and Mike Brown to express his unhappiness in his role at the football club. He went on to explain that he didn’t wish to remain at the club but was not in a position to resign due to his personal circumstances.
Both directors expressed their desire to retain John as manager, find solutions to improve lines of communication and working practices within the club. John indicated that he felt there were no possible solutions or remedies.
Prior to these discussions, the board had invited John to a meeting to discuss budgets and the club’s wider finances, but unfortunately John cancelled the meeting at short notice. We felt that this had been a prime opportunity to improve understanding and build a better working relationship with John with the ultimate aim of improving performance.
Given John’s desire to leave the club and his belief that the situation was irretrievable, after seeking legal advice, the board unanimously agreed that it was in everyone’s best interest to part company with John. We believe that presented with such circumstances any business would have reached a similar conclusion.
The board recognise the huge support and love for John amongst supporters following his success last season. We share those emotions which meant that we could not take this decision lightly and made every effort to avoid having to make it. Sometimes things happen behind the scenes of many football clubs that require the board to make difficult decisions.
We hope that this goes some way to help supporters understand our decision and that everyone gets behind the squad this Saturday.
