Indeed, aside from Ryan Reynolds’ Wrexham, Notts County has also played a role in making the National League an instant hit. In fact, their coach believes they have given it a cinematic touch. Wrexham and Notts County have been the real contenders for the National League from the start.
Both have been tussling with each other from the start. The Holywood owners have completely changed the face of the game and turned it into a streaming hit. And County boss Luke Williams believes his side has some role to play.
Notts County boss reflects on great theater
While speaking ahead of an emphatic clash, Williams highlighted his side’s role in garnering fame and glory in the fifth division. “How exciting is it to see big players, players that have incredible form, with Hollywood owners and a famous club – an incredible club – in Notts County,” Williams said.
“There is a lot of very good ingredients for a great story and for great theater. And I think we are very fortunate to be involved in the production of this. We have to enjoy it.” The gaffer believes Wrexham has played a crucial role in increasing the profile of the league. However, he says they have also proven to be the biggest competitors, thus drawing up record-breaking attendances.
“Of course, we have a determination and desire to win, but ultimately football is about people being able to experience emotions and experience drama – and it’s all there,” he added. In the process, the coach also made an admission about Wrexham star, Paul Mullin.
“The reality is I can’t sit here and tell you, ‘Don’t worry, we have an easy way to control Paul Mullin.’ It’s impossible to say that,” Williams said. “The guy is a very good player, he is outstanding. But we have a striker who is also incredible. I don’t think they have a quick fix to stop Macca either.”
Williams went on to hail both Mullin and his star player, Macaulay Langstaff, who is the top scorer in league with 41 points. Either way, both will be looking to outscore each other at tomorrow’s game.
