Great support home and away but still underperforming on the pitch

Pre covid.
Not having a dig at their attendances since, but it's pretty obvious why. It's not that their great fans that follow their team through thick and thin...
Yep! Wrexham Lager is lovely. Britain's oldest lager and in recent years they changed the recipe back to the original Victorian recipe.
It's always £1.50 a bottle in Co-ops and honestly it's really good.
I have no real thoughts on Wrexham FC but their owners seem like good eggs and the Canadian one looks like me accordign to my mum
Sludge is a ****ing traitor. I knew it. A little bit of Hollywood and off he goes. That's why he always loves it when we're shit. He's a closet Wrexham fan. Coincidentally, he hasn't posted about a mumsy, middle-aged TV presenter for months. It makes total sense now. Which one do you think he likes best? Ryan Reynolds or Rob McElhenney?
They must have potential, as local fans they have the entirety of North Wales as a catchment. I guess it’s only the relative proximity to the Merseyside clubs and their vast respective history that probably eats away at their base
Genuine question though, do they attract fans from across North Wales? I've never really thought of Gwynedd or Anglesey or northern coast towns as being Wrexham areas. They really do seem to look to Merseyside.
Gwynedd probably more into that cart racing stuff from S4C too
Yeah the takeover has definitely helped increase the interest there.
I don’t think it’s a bad thing though, Wrexham had been doing nothing of note for years. So something was needed to increase interest.
I imagine most clubs would see a bump in attendances after big takeovers.
Lets face it. They are getting crowds because of a Hollywood actor. Thats it. When the novelty wears off it will be business as usual.
Think it’s more north east. Did get talking to a Wrexham fan that was from somewhere in Gwynedd the last time Wales played in Denmark. I’d say that’s a minority though, I think football fans from that corner of Wales follow their local Welsh league teams and/or follow one of the big Merseyside clubs.
They’ve had an uptick in interest and attendance because of the obvious but even before that I’d say they had pretty respectable crowds given the last 15 or so years they’ve had on the pitch in that division.
I wonder what sort of crowds the city would get if we had been in the same position.
I was in Wrexham last week and what’s different with this takeover is the whole town have got right behind the club and it’s owners. There’s life size cardboard cutouts of Ryan Reynolds in the pubs FFS!!
One of my wife’s friends (late 40s and single Sludge) mentioned that ‘Mullin had scored again…’ and she always hated football.
Interestingly, Wrexham haven’t spent a penny of the cash Reynolds and McElhenney originally put up… all the current investment has come from the increased attendances (S/Ts), merch, Tik Tok etc… they’re on the up! They’ll be challenging us and the jacks within 5 years. Good luck to ‘em.
And by the way, Wrexham Lager is a lovely drop these days… and their bootlegger pilsner is not bad either. He’s crackers that bootlegger fella.
Yeah agreed, “capital of north Wales” etc. Although I’m not really arsed when south Walians follow one of the big Lancastrian clubs, I do tend to think it’s fair game if you’re a north Walian. Totally anecdotal and based on random encounters at Wales games but proportionally Everton seem to be well supported by the gogs.
