Wrexham fans are closely watching the drama unfold in the ‘Spygate’ saga involving Southampton and Middlesbrough! It’s been a rollercoaster for the Saints, who are waiting for an independent panel’s decision after being accused of spying on Boro during their Championship play-off semi-final. Middlesbrough isn’t holding back and is urging that Southampton be kicked out of the play-off final after just narrowly beating them to secure a spot at Wembley next weekend against Hull City.
While Wrexham narrowly missed grabbing a playoff spot themselves, finishing just two points shy after a nail-biting 2-2 draw with Boro, they’re sitting on the side-lines to see how this unfolds. Wrexham can’t join the fray even if the opportunity arises, as the team is on holiday and the pitch has been torn up. It’s a logistical headache too, with players released and loanees back to their parent clubs.
An announcement on the Southampton investigation is expected soon and could shake up the Championship Play-Off Final scheduled for 23rd May. The EFL is ready with contingency plans just in case the verdict leads to a shake-up. Keep your eyes peeled, this could change the line-up in a big way!
