Andy is one of my favorite Wrexham voices, thanks for the interview. Enjoyed also the Sunderland insights and questions from Connor.

[@willprinse]

Think Ryan and Rob are going to get smacked in the face with league one, so much harder than they think

[@loganleroy8622]

I think you misunderstand how American fans view sports teams. Most of us come from teams that lose all the time in large part because of the lack of relegation forcing systemic changes at a franchise.

[@mirrorfootball]

Which system do you prefer? Thanks for listening

[@loganleroy8622]

@@mirrorfootball Each system has its benefits. The nice thing about the forced parity of the NFL is that as a fan, you know that if you’re patient and stick with your team, one day after thirty years or so your team will have a chance at winning it all. In the meantime during all that losing you don’t have to live in fear that your club will suddenly fold. Another benefit is that teams can’t simply buy their way to success and it’s extremely difficult to stay at the top of the league so it makes repeat championships a huge accomplishment. The English pyramid creates a different kind of drama where you can determine the consistently best team throughout the course of the season. The nature of having to deal with relegation adds a different layer of stress, which does make winning just to stay up almost as exciting getting promoted. Of course there’s the fear that a club will fold, but American fans live in constant fear that their sports franchises will simply pick themselves up and move to the opposite side of the country.

I find it funny that old school fans like Andy still refer to the fifth tier of English football as "the Conference" even though they changed the name to the National League nine years ago. Get with the times, mate!

I nearly called it the Vauxhall Conference!
