Wrexham for the prem?

Re: Wrexham for the prem?

Never understood the argument that they do not have the fan base for the top leagues.

They can already draw a similar attendance to what Bournemouth are in the Premier League.

Look at Brentford / Fulham, it is certainly possible to sustain yourself as a premier league side with sub >20k attendances.

Bournemouth are the exception to the rule. Brentford are incredibly well run by someone who really knows what he is doing, it is his life's work. Rob and Ryan are actors.

They will definitely get to the Championship within that time.

I wouldn't say definitely, there are many and varied ways in which they could cock it up, they're doing well now as they have a lot more money that their rivals, the higher up the pyramid they go they will have less and less advantage, and will actually need to be well run if they want to progress

Bournemouth had millions pumped in by Russian owners, breaking FFP rules to promote to the Prem.

Re: Wrexham for the prem?

I admire how the owners have come in with the plans they have, how they have shown great respect for the club and the community.

I do wish them well but I'm not quite on the hype train just because the club is Welsh. Also I'm slightly jealous of the buzz they have for their club atm. Been a while since I even properly celebrated a goal.

Who were the club that went from the old division four to the then top tier of division one in consecutive seasons and then were relegated back to division four in consecutive seasons? 🤔

Off top of my head I think Northampton?

Re: Wrexham for the prem?

They’re getting 9k now in the conference. They’re the same as us, sustain championship football and they could be pushing 20k+ no problem.

I don’t know about that…it’s a small town isn’t it?

Just had a look on Wiki. As usual population figures are all over the place depending on where the boundary is drawn. Wrexham is either a town of 61,500 or 135,100. Bournemouth has 3x the population of Wrexham (by either count).

Sludge will be along in a bit to put you right.

Yes, very true. The atmosphere and excitement at their game yesterday was reminiscent of our cup tie with Leeds in terms of passion from the home fans ( without the malevolent tension).

My long time Bolton supporting mate always said the journey up the leagues is the best time supporting your club, he wasn’t wrong.

Bolton, there's a club. I was looking at some of the players they signed during their Premier league days, Holy Crap! The wages they must've been spewing.

Re: Wrexham for the prem?

They need to concentrate on the league.They are playing a lot of games.They picked up a few injuries yesterday.

Re: Wrexham for the prem?

Historically their crowds suggest otherwise

Pointless comparing with historic attendances. They've never had Hollywood investment before, a documentary series beamed across the world and a shirt sponsor of the calibre of TikTok.

Exactly. Wrexham’s owners aren’t worth anywhere near the Russian owners
