With crowds at the Racecourse dwindling faster than fans at a Gary Glitter gig, I thought it was way time I put to you ten reasons to support your LOCAL team - Wrexham FC:
Feel a glow in your heart when your star player turns up in a battered old banger. Imagine how cheesed off you’d feel if your hard-earned cash was paying for their Ferraris.
Not having to plan ahead for months to get a ticket. Listen to this: I can leave my house at 2pm and still get into the game at 3pm (I live over 17 miles away). Thanks Sainsburys for my parking space.
Get that big-match atmosphere by going for a hot dog at half-time…even though the queue is only ten deep. It will feel like you’re at Wembley (ie. it will take as long to get served).
Watch Martyn Chalk put some beautiful crosses in. Perhaps not with the same skill as David Beckham - but at least he doesn’t keep putting up two fingers to you.
With crowds of about 2,500 lately, there’s a good chance you’ll get to know the players quite well (ie. get invited back to their house for a cup of tea).
Get in for £11 (seated area) - almost half the price of admittance to a Premiership match.
It must get really dull supporting Man United ie. winning every match at home. Take a gamble on watching Wrexham FC. You never know - you might just be at that home game they win in the league! (20-1 odds)
Roll up, roll up, come and watch the fattest goalie in league football. Gasp as he chews on a piece of lard and still drops the ball all over the place.
Even when the match is dull, there’s always Rockin’ Robin on a bike.
Wear your Wrexham shirt with pride on holiday (Reds fans are such a rare breed) and make friends with complete strangers. I once got free beer for a week.
