It's Goodbye To Wrexham
Wrexham said goodbye to the football league last night after an 87 year stay
A goal in each half ended the Robins spell and they now face a minimum 12 month stay in the Blue Square Conference although their manager believes it could be longer.
Wrexham, just survived the drop last season but were never really looking likely to stay up this season and their relegation - maybe ironically 30 years after they were first promoted to the second tier of English football - was confirmed with two games to go.
And 20 years after there were four Welsh clubs in the football league it now remains for Cardiff City and Swansea City to fly the flag for the country amongst England's 'elite' 90 clubs.
Speaking after the defeat to Hereford Brian Little said "It's horrible, tonight is about hitting the bottom and it's now about looking at the club in the future.
"I know I can't be nice to too many people at this moment. My job is to be ruthless and sort the team out."
"We've seen quite a few teams [in the Blue Square Premier] already who we know are better than us," said Little.
"It's down to somebody to choose people who come into the club.
"That person is me and I will be judged on that and I accept that and if I don't get it right, then I accept someone else deserves the opportunity because Wrexham is too good a club not to bounce back quickly."
"I sampled this horrible feeling 20 years ago [with Darlington] and in the last few weeks I've started to be able to feel it again.
"But it's a feeling that motivated me, set me on a road to football management and winning things and I hope tonight is the starting point for the team to bounce back."

Swansea City : On the cusp in a very good way ! Two players who have come to Swansea City in the last two seasons from London clubs have earned a position on the clubs retained list this weekend. Both are considered exceptional talents by the Swans academy, and their dream remains alive to become full professional players in the first team squad.
Swans confirm who is staying and congratulations Abdulai ! As we stated this morning Swansea City have released their retained list and also confirmed the signing of Joe Allen for another year. The midfielder has been sitting on an offer for some weeks but indicated via a third party to us he would sign.
Swans retained list and Owain Tudur Jones on Paul Watson We understand that the Swans retained list will be announced today or at the latest on Saturday. And of course that includes players that will be released by the club from the academy and first team squad. So, the Swans plans and immediate future regards players coming in will become much clearer. Or at least the areas they need to target.
Swansea City : Where are the Swans today on all their player business ? Bar the Macaulay Langstaff news there has been little of any concrete info in the offing this week. Mind you that alone caused a stir. Between now and the transfer window opening on June 14th, which is the date for the European Championships to start there will be little to speculate on.
Swansea City : The confusing decision making for a whole season It was a pretty poor end to what can only be described as a disappointing football season for Swansea City. The defeat to Millwall yesterday was a display that has frustrated Swansea City supporters all season. A lack of effort, intensity and desire rewarding the home support with yet another home loss.
