team who brought all the energy. Very blessed to have
I love being from Wrexham and am very proud to be from here. But it’s going to the dogs. Leave the knives at home. Go out for a drink, have a laugh, chat to a stranger in the bogs and discuss the footy. Get yourselves home safe and reminisce. Why risk taking someone’s life?

Rob and Ryan have BIG plans for the Racecourse Ground 🏟️
“We have a plan in place right now…we think we could get between 45,000 - 55,000 people in there.” 😮

For those thick enough not to get it. The fairytale of Wrexham is that despite decades of crap and negligent owners, brink of bankruptcy and palliative trust ownership, wealthy benefactors, who are entirely invested, took over
Not only did we beat county (who are 14 million in debt) we beat the officials who were desperate for a county win and everyone who hates us for having good owners
Max Cleworth by the way. Hasn't played for a couple months, slots straight back in and rubs shoulders with championship players. If he's not in our plans we need to get something for him. Great talent.
These, on paper, for the money they’re on and mercenary status they’ve gained, should be nowhere near centre of town on a weekday afternoon. Yet here they are. Buying into the people and the place. Heroes.
The test of Rhosddu Spars metal is if it closes for the queens funeral. The ultimate unstoppable force meeting an immovable object. Quite looking forward to seeing that play out.
Facebook littered with people like:
Looking for 6 spares for the most important game in my local sides history, despite the fact I've never really cared about them as it wasn't fashionable once upon a time 👍
As the town continue to expand, my favourite sub genre of fans currently are the thirsty blokes who reply to female Wrexham fans on here. Absolutely fab reading.
Wrexham's American fans discuss their newfound love for the North Wales football club, who are set to face Chelsea and Manchester United in the US 🏴⚽

In the film Inglorious Basterds, a British undercover spy gives himself away ordering three drinks. Germans count 3 including the thumb, while Brits seem to show 3 middle fingers. (I think)
@HLTCO
Incredibly rare HLTCO L here, pal! Tongue in cheek comment after the club, fans and even their player Tom Flanagan spent the build up baiting us. Shrewsbury historically Wrexhams 2nd biggest game, behind Chester.
16 team Welsh prem would be brilliant. I think a summer league would be massive for gate numbers. I know a couple of mates, along with me, who would go to more local footy if it didn't clash with Wrexham.
Wales this year:
- bucket hats
- Michael Sheen shouting
- singing the anthem to slow but then finishing minutes before the audio track
- league 2 players in the squad because they're nice guys
- shite football
Wrexham fans planning to attend Stockport County’s next match will be denied entry to the ground.
Recent social media posts have encouraged
@Wrexham_AFC
supporters to buy away tickets for Stockport’s home game against Torquay United on 11 May.

Best part of the Wrexham Notts game so far is of course the Wrexham fans trying to sing the Welsh National Anthem and half of them not knowing the words
What a group of players
@RMcElhenney
and
@VancityReynolds
have put together. They get the club, the fans and the town 🔴 Keep the good times rolling babyyyyy 🔴🍺⚽️
No doubt there'll be 26 mums and dad's in the fans chat posting WREXHAM WILL PLAY YEOVIL IN THE FA CUP. If only there was an official communication channel associated with the football club that provided updates.
Been made redundant, got engaged and found subsequent teaching work within the space of 3 weeks. Serious beer flying straight into my gob this weekend.
In todays episode of the racecourse is full of tourists: person behind me saying we were down to 9 men when tunnicliffe went off because he 'didn't count the keeper'
The owners are magic. They care. They're the fairytale too. Multi millionaire, mega stars Ryan and rob come to Wrexham through the love they have for the town.
Blackburn have every right to be happy, post what they want, celebrate, gloat - that is football. Some fans on here contribute to putting a target on the club's back by crying over everything.
Where were you
Where were you
Where were you when Dean keates reckoned Iffy Allen offered something different?!
Wheeeere wete you when Dean keates reckoned Iffy Allen offered something different?
Love following a football club. It's a drug. It's incredible. Days like today are why you go. When I'm getting asked why I'm off to Yeovil or Scunthorpe this is why. The feeling that can't be described or bottled.
Ben can do whatever he wants to. Won 2 trophies with Wrexham bookending a fantastic career at the top of his game. I'd have him for as long as he's willing and he's performing, but if he wants his family life back, then more power to him 👍
Ex-England goalkeeper Ben Foster acknowledged he will have to "think about" whether to prolong his career with Wrexham... 😬
Thoughts, Wrexham fans?

If town lose to sutton on Tuesday I genuinely think a couple new age fans might be done 😆 until this season some fans had only seen us lose 5 competitive matches. Outrageously spoiled.

"I want to play at the highest level possible. I’d love to play for Wales, the country where my nan was
All 4 of those penalties were outstanding.
Bickerstaff brilliant up top.
Young and Davies fantastic.
Cleworth oozing class considering he's 21 tomorrow.
Roll on Saturday hehe.
They get it. They all do. Money influx or not, town fans just want players that give a toss. Something big brewing here, and for the first time in years we have genuine strength in depth
❗ As we approach our final home league game of the season, please remember it is an offence to:
- Enter the field of play at any time
- Throw missiles
- Bring pyrotechnics into the ground
Thank you for your incredible support, home and away, this season 🙌

Word of warning, im going to be pretty full on for the foreseeable future. Won’t be offended if you unfollow. Not everyday Ryan Reynolds offers to buy your downward spiral local club.
