Playing against RRs hometown club Vancouver Whitecaps pre season friendly.

$130.00 minimum ticket price around £65.00 !!

Must be bloody crackers if they pay that to watch a pre season friendly against a 3rd division side 😜

Good luck to them now. Hope they smash their way through the divisions and win the Premier League and Champions League.
Can they still qualify for a European Cup if they win Welsh Cup? ..or does that back door not exist anymore?

Welsh clubs cannot enter the Welsh and English cups together. It gives them 2 chances. They can only play in one or the other.

Good on them.  If it was us we would be buzzing.

I’ve changed my view of them since we played them here, they played decent football, didn’t dive all over the place, and beat us fair and square playing a good brand of football. Best of luck to them.

Worth remembering the fans who donated to help our supporters get to the play off final. To do that after the play off game was a magnificent gesture.

After 15 long years representing the whole of North Wales in non-league football, including one season when they got 90 + points and still weren't promoted, I don't begrudge them a darned thing. I always get Ryan Reynolds confused with Ryan Gosling so I wonder if he might be interested in a spin off show featuring an unfashionable club with lots of history and a devoted fan base in a town that once upon a time had the largest fishing fleet in the world but is now suffering from economic recession. There could be a real feel-good Hollywood story in their rise through the divisions to former heights. Just a thought! :)

Aye Wrexham fans are a good bunch, very good club and fell on hard times like ourselves... now living a fairytale. No issue with the club at all, it's the media glorifying everything that does my nut in.

If it was us I’d be trying my best to find the ££ to go . Fair play to Wrexham fans , they deserve it after years in the doldrums. The lucky fookers 🤣

And the arrogance from their new fans.

For balance I hope they fail and Wales seperates itself from England and floats off into the Atlantic.

Proper football club for pulling in 12000 every week from a population smaller then N E Lincs they deserve success.

Their catchment population is way more than ours. The whole of north Wales can be reasonably considered to be their catchment, plus parts of west Cheshire and north west Shropshire. Easy 500,000-600,000+. That's why Hollywood are there

But you are not comparing like for like. On that basis we could include North Linconshire with North East Lincolnshire which gives us a catchment of about 350,000 with really only Scunthorpe as competition.
