Wrexham for the prem?

Re: Wrexham for the prem?

They don't have a history at Football League level, don't really have a fanbase large enough to sustain a League 1 club and are based in a town of 5,000.

Wrexham spent 87 years in the Football League, have proven themselves to have a decent fanbase even in non-league and have the catchment area to sustain a League 1 club or higher

Not a proper club is a little harsh on Forest Green, but Wrexham are a different level of club

I’m very defensive of FGR, as having played against them several times, they represent a success story that so many amateur footballers aspire to & wish for. I’ve witnessed their efforts & climb first hand and they deserve to be where they are. Nothing taken for granted & every step earned.

Bloody 'ell Des, you do like them. Did you let a 'few in' in order to help speed up their progress :hehe:

Absolutely not, but if you are welsh and from north wales you should be supportive of Wrexham

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.

Not sure I really get this ‘love in’ with Wrexham?

Why would we (CCFC) want them to be successful?

Re: Wrexham for the prem?

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).

The town of Wrexham is 61,500

The larger metropolitan or travel to work area is 135, 100

Basically all the smaller towns within ten miles which are part of Wrexham Borough

Why wouldn't we?

They are a welsh club, and no threat to us at the moment. Give it 4 years tho and they my well be snapping at our heels.

I’m with you, I do have a slight man crush on Ryan Reynolds but the scally Wrexham fans can do one.

Probably. My memory is not that good (wife’s job). I let in a few over 3 decades for sure. I let in 8 in the first half against Bristol Rovers once, pre season friendly, a guy called Devon White scored 5, thank feck they took him off at half time.

Decent level then. Remember Devon White almost killing Lee Baddeley in a league game at home v Rovers, he rag dolled him, and to top it all off, Kicked Baddeley in the head, although i don't think it was intentional, the ball was very low and Baddeley, instead of using his feet ( which was a no, no) attempted to head the ball. Game over, for him.
