I have the utmost sympathy with referees. It’s a heck of a tough job, they get abuse nobody deserves, and they only get one shot at seeing an incident before making a decision. I’m tempted to have a good gripe about them, because an extremely harsh red card on Tuesday completely turned our match against Yeovil. However, as I’ve thought about it, I’ve realised there … Continue reading Oh, Referee!
Having reflected on negative behaviour last week, I thought I’d redress the balance by reminding everybody of the positivity that can be created when a football club’s fans rally together. Of course, we all know of the excellent work done by the WST, the Racecourse Foundation, the Disabled Supporters Association and our Disability Liaison Officer for a number of years. Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds … Continue reading And Now The Good News

To celebrate the exciting future ahead for Wrexham AFC thanks to its two new owners, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, I want to ‘kick off’ my brand-new blog with the history of women footballers at the Racecourse. Welcome! The history of men’s football at the Racecourse is well documented but you might not know anything about the women… Continue reading Wrexham women footballers – at the Racecourse
If there’s a lesson to learn from watching the European Championships, it’s that you shouldn’t jump to conclusions. There are three ex-Wrexham players appearing in the tournament, and they all started their nation’s first match, yet none of them got a sustained chance to show their class for us. Danny Ward was a bold selection as Wales’ goalkeeper by Rob Page, if only because Wayne … Continue reading Wrexham’s Euro Stars
