Wrexham Women Exceed Expectations
A guaranteed top four spot with two matches left to play, both at home to the bottom two. What an incredible season this has been for Steve Dale’s Wrexham. Realistically, this was our ambition for the season, but there was plenty of realism before the campaign began. Making the top half was an ambitious target; in truth, consolidation in the division would have been a … Continue reading Wrexham Women Exceed Expectations
Away Form Counts For Nothing At Blackburn
It’s another big cup weekend, and a chance to spend some time scratching our heads about our away form. That might sound like an odd thing to say when we’re playing an away match, but taking a Championship side on away from home is very different from the week-in, week-out grind of league matches away from home. Richard Sutcliffe revealed last weekend that, remarkably, we … Continue reading Away Form Counts For Nothing At Blackburn
Welsh Derbies Measure Wrexham AFC’s Progress
Ready for a Welsh derby double-header? Both Wrexham’s senior teams enjoyed pleasing wins at the weekend to warm up for a big weekend. The men had to overcome an AFC Wimbledon team who get their game plan right but failed to take advantage while they dominated the first 20 minutes. Most of their best attacking players were unavailable, either through injury or because they were … Continue reading Welsh Derbies Measure Wrexham AFC’s Progress
Don’t Forget We’ve TWO Huge Games Tomorrow
I’m looking forward to the Shrewsbury game more than you can imagine, but my excitement is tinged with regret. I’ll have to miss the women’s team playing Cardiff City as the games clash, and that’s a real disappointment to me. It’s been a pleasure to follow the team’s fortunes and see them continue to set new standards for the club week on week. Now I’ll … Continue reading Don’t Forget We’ve TWO Huge Games Tomorrow
Have I Got Shrews For You!
The massive clashes just keep going. Drawing Shrewsbury in the cup is nothing short of immense. This fixture has the potential to be terrifically cathartic. In 2008, when we plummeted out of the Football League, the trauma was numbed by the inevitability of it all; we never really looked capable of rallying as we did the previous season and stringing together the results necessary for … Continue reading Have I Got Shrews For You!
The Kop’s Back!
Well, sort of! While the erection of a temporary stand where the Kop once stood is an emergency measure, it will give an exciting glimpse of what we can expect when we are finally allowed to replace it with a permanent, 5,500-capacity home for our growing fan base. Seeing the structure towering above the goal last Saturday was an early Christmas present. Seeing it full … Continue reading The Kop’s Back!
Wrexham’s Striking Options Make Us A Fearsome Proposition
I can’t imagine it’s fun to play against Wrexham if you’re a defender. For starters, you’ve got Paul Mullin to deal with, and we all know that he’s got that movement–finishing–genius thing going on. We also have Sam Dalby, a mobile physical presence with a penchant for smashing the ball into the roof of the net, and Ollie Palmer, who will physically grind you down … Continue reading Wrexham’s Striking Options Make Us A Fearsome Proposition
Goals Rain In, Showing Why the Genero Premier Must Expand
Wrexham’s Adran Genero Trophy match against Briton Ferry was postponed last Sunday, but plenty of ties did take place, and there was no shortage of goals. Upsets were much thinner on the ground, though, and that’s the problem. I’m not saying there should be shock results peppered through every rond of a cup competition: that would suggest something very odd has happened to the structure … Continue reading Goals Rain In, Showing Why the Genero Premier Must Expand
Reality Check
I was given a perfect illustration of how far Wrexham AFC has come on Tuesday night. My co-commentators, Bill and Chay Long, and I decided we’d do a live chat on Youtube after the Harrogate game to discuss how it went. At half time I was really looking forward to it; by full time, less so! I had a negative reading of the game. After … Continue reading Reality Check
The Case For The Defence
I PLEAD “not guilty” to the crime of judging referees without due care and attention, m’lud, and would like these previous offences to be taken into consideration. I developed a reputation recently for being a harsh judge of referees. I deny this and put it to you that the standard of officiating in the National League often left something to be desired. As evidence of … Continue reading The Case For The Defence
Welcome to Wrexham Renewed for Season 3, Coming to FX in Spring 2024
Meet Andy Holt (The Other One)
A trip to Accrington Stanley evokes memories of our distant past, but also brings the present into sharp focus. We first faced Stanley in our first season in the Football League, back in 1921, and they remained regular opponents until they dropped out of the Football League in 1966. The mere mention of their name brings images of the early days of the Football League … Continue reading Meet Andy Holt (The Other One)
King Arthur Red Dragon
Can we talk about King Arthur? Arthur Okonkwo to be precise: his Wrexham career has barely begun, yet he has already been elevated to cult status. It’s rare to see a fan base fall collectively in love with a player so quickly. There are a few reasons. First and foremost, he’s very good at playing football. Fans tend to take to that. Okonkwo’s performances so … Continue reading King Arthur Red Dragon
