  1. #1

    Wrexham are above us in the football pyramid!

    I know it's been fact now for a few weeks but it just hit me. What a sad sad state of affairs.

    Well, Wrexham have been on a sharply upward trajectory, and we've been going downward. It's not a surprise.

    Maybe get TKO Holdings to buy us out and start putting us on Netflix, get Cody Rhodes to start coming to Cardiff City games or something.

    Netflix should do a show on us.

    It would be like a mockumentary. Great comedy.

    Tan , Dalman , Choo and their running of the club and it will run in nicely to November when the latest feck up is removed and Pursey is put in charge.

    Could then also follow around the Judean People's Front , the people's fro nt of Judea and the Popular Front around with their various meetings and protests.

    What has Vincent Tan ever done for us???

    Liverpool and Everton are above us so one more Merseyside team doesn't really matter.

    The last time Wrexham were above us in the Football League pyramid was 2000/01, so a fair old while ago but not that long in the grand scheme of things.

    How many times have they finished above us? It can't be many seasons?

    Always thought we missed a great chance when we were in the prem to cash in.

    Unscripted version of the office.

    This took a bit of research, but I think I have the answer and it's happened on ten previous occasions:

    1980/81 (both teams in Division 2)
    1986/87 (both teams in Division 4)
    1993/94 (both teams in Division 2)
    1994/95 (both teams in Division 2)
    1995/96 (Wrexham in Division 2, Cardiff in Division 3)
    1996/97 (Wrexham in Division 2, Cardiff in Division 3)
    1997/98 (Wrexham in Division 2, Cardiff in Division 3)
    1998/99 (Wrexham in Division 2, Cardiff in Division 3)
    1999/00 (both teams in Division 2)
    2000/01 (Wrexham in Division 2, Cardiff in Division 3)


    Wrexham also finished higher in the Third Division (North) than Cardiff did in the Third Division (South) on five consecutive occasions during the Thirties (1932/33 to 1936/37 inclusive).

    Here's a shocking fact for you: 2025/26 will be only the second season in Football League history that Cardiff City will start the campaign lower down in the pyramid than both Swansea City and Wrexham. The only previous occasion was in 2000/01, when Wrexham and Swansea were in Division 2 and Cardiff were in Division 3.

    Good work, Vincent.

    Good work, Vincent.
    Don't forget Vincent has also managed to relegate his other team. Must be one of the worst chairman in world football.

    Just checked this again and it's not quite right. In fact, it'll be the third time this has happened:

    1995/96 (Swansea and Wrexham were in Division 2, Cardiff were in Division 3)
    2000/01 (Swansea and Wrexham were in Division 2, Cardiff were in Division 3)
    2025/26 (Swansea and Wrexham will be in the Championship, Cardiff will be in League One)

    Good work, Vincent.
    This time next year ... unlikely but possible:

    Swansea, Wrexham and Newport preparing for a new season above Cardiff.
