    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.

    Some City fans used to want the jacks to do well…..that didn’t end too good for us

    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.

    I can honestly say I would like the jacks to struggle in the league Wrexham are in for several decades

    If not longer

    Personally , i really enjoyed the Welcome to wrexham TV series, its a really enjoyable humorous watch

    it could have been any national league side, it would have made no difference to me, Rob comes across as a very decent bloke and doing it for all the right reasons, Ryan I was a little unsure of, but as the show went on, I think he gets it now, so they both appear to be on the same page and when they leave wrexham FC ( and its community ) it will be in a better place

    Me too. I'd like Notts County to get promoted above all other sides in the National League.

    I think the benefit of Wrexham being very successful is that it would be a net positive for Welsh football, would certainly provide a big boost to the national team, if wrexham could get a top class academy and develop new talent from North Wales to feed into our first team that would be great.

    Also do not really see them as a threat to Cardiff in anyway, because even if they were to become more successful than us as a club, that would have practically no affect on us due to the sheer distance away they are. Where as Newport and Swansea can feasible take fans away from Cardiff catchment areas. Wrexham can not.

    Swansea most definitely do

    Since the jacks went into the Premier league and stayed there for 6 seasons they stole a generation of younger fans and there are definitely more Swansea fans in the west of our catchment area than I can remember
