Can only presume anyone wanting more away fans doesn't sit within 100 yards of the south stand like me.

Sat listening to a full end screaming down your lughole all game is bloody horrible.

It gives them a kop to kick to. Hope we win the toss and play the other way. 

seen on Wrexham TWATTER 

they have got 1500 more tickets

Don't get all the uproar about this decision, we will have fans behind both goals and will be 25,000+ there for a 3rd tier game. 

Will be the biggest gate Wrexham will have played in for a very very long time. It's a cup final for them, but fuck them. 

Whether there's 15k or 25k it doesn't matter, it's our 4th season in this godforsaken league and we know that every team treat us like a cup final. 

Its up to the team now to put this so called curse of *big games' behind us. Sick of making excuses for it.

They drew 1-1 at Bradford with attendance of 21,552.

While I agree with most of your post, the 6 pointer is definitely a thing. Look at last season v Deby away. Win that one game and we go up. I know other things could have happened following that result, but it felt seminal at the time.

Tbh boils down to the same thing, we need to do better against the better teams this season. And it's not just treating each game as 3 points, we really have to up our game and match the passion when playing derbies, big crowds, top 6 rivals.

Same for Derby- they won it.

However if we don't lose other games elsewhere, then it doesn't matter.

The season has 46 games.

So it’ll still be the biggest gate 😊

Hence my point.

Even their FA Cup replay at Sheff U was only 20k. This is their biggest gated game, particularly in the league for a long long time. 

Thinking about this game earlier wondering how Santos would cope with Mullin who’s physically a handful  but after checking he’s still injured and unavailable for several games . 

Losing 'the big games' isn't down to ability, or luck, but down to mentality.

Evatt sends them out scared. We need to have teams worry about us, not us worry about them. 

Go behind to these chancers, and it's going to turn toxic....

Just seen everyone else kicks off at 12.30 next Saturday, so Sunday 3pm better for me in that respect

Seen Stockport got Blackpool away and believe they've been given the full stand so hopefully we get the same 

 

 

Won nicely yesterday but the much vaunted, self titled, "massive club" got 13,200 in. Some way below current capacity.

The 'kop' is still being built & some want corners filling & the older Yale stand renewing.

There's currently local debate about if a 25,000 capacity ground will be enough or if they should build a 50,000 out of towner.  Believe me boys, 25k is going to be more than enough.

 

... & FFP is being ignored rather.

Google reckons current capacity is 13,214

I'll check. They added a temporary stand last season.

Fair play. It's 12,600 plus this temporary stand taking it to 13,214 as you say.

2022-23 their average was 9,600. Prior to Ryan & the other one it was around 4,500 (good for National League). Still someway short of justifying the big talk.

The Kop, once complete will add 5,500, minus the 600 in the temporary one, so capacity of c.18,000. In their current surge & against bigger teams they can fill that. How long they can maintain all this only time will tell.

Mind you, apart from Rob  Thingy Eva Longaria was in attendance. That could even interest me.

They will fill the 50k seater when they get up again. Their pull is massive.

whole of north wales backing them. 
folk don’t like it but they are selling all sorts. Fans all over America. It’s not 1995 now

Yeah prior to them it was shit. Now it’s not prior to them. 
 

people need to not worry about them. They will be in the prem sooner or later and much bigger than us. No shame on it. Only club for miles for Welsh fans

The entire population of North Wales is around 700,000, suggesting you may have a point. However, population and pull are different things.

1. A good number are already wedded to the Liverpool clubs.

2. A much more significant number are wedded to rugby.

3. The geography is vast and, aside from the A55 corridor, the road and rail network is fairly primitive. A fair proportion of this population would face a 3-hour return journey to a Wrexham match.

50,000 crowds may be too much, but there is a certainly more potential. A great example is Brighton. Throughout history they were relatively small club. An injection of money and a recognition they were the club of Sussex, as much as Brighton, has elevated them into the large medium, 30k bracket.

i think Wrexham are similar.

Some fella used to score shit loads every week then he ended up at Tranmere.

Arfon griffiths, dai davies, ashcroft, joey jones, thomas

Struggling beyond that

Had Sky Sports News on in the background for the highlights last night. Showed all five goals of the Wrexham game, but only a goal a piece for all other League One games. Shameful.
