Wrexham AFC’s name is built on beating sides from higher divisions. It’s eight years since we last managed that feat, when we defeated Brentford in the second round of the FA Cup. To be fair, since then we’ve not had many chances to cause a shock, and we’ve acquitted ourselves well on the four subsequent occasions we’ve faced Football League opposition. The win at Brentford … Continue reading PREVIEW | Rochdale v Wrexham AFC
Here’s something a little different! A very generous tweet from Rangers fan Wilf Marshall about the Final Whistle podcast of Saturday’s game got me thinking: perhaps I ought to offer up a Wrexham fan’s perspective of their Colts, as for once we’ve played a massive club whose fans might be interested in how they re seen by an outsider. So here it is: there’s a … Continue reading PODCAST | The Lowdown on Rangers Colts

Today’s game will be the second most northerly match in Wrexham’s history. At a latitude of 55 degrees and 51 minutes, Ibrox is marginally further north than Lyngby’s stadium, where Wrexham played in the European Cup Winners Cup in 1990, but is not quite as close to the North Pole as Djurgardens’ ground, the Stockholm Olympic Stadium, where we played in 1975. We won in … Continue reading PREVIEW | Rangers Colts v Wrexham AFC
We live in remarkable times. Off we head today to Scotland, to represent England against Rangers. But it’s their youth team. Still, we get to play at one of the world’s great football grounds, even if we choose not to give our first team the opportunity.
