So, we’ve left the National League. All long-standing Wrexham fans will be scratching their heads and asking where the miserable turn of events is. We’re used to things going horribly wrong, and it would be lovely to think that, under our current ownership, we’ve ditched our reputation for misfortune and heroic failure. This is the club, of course, which entered into the last 2 games … Continue reading Rob, Ryan and Phil Banished Wrexham’s Demons

Wrexham AFC Look To End On A High Note
