4 Days After 12:30 AM’s $630,000 Tragedy Update to Ryan Reynolds, 7,998 in Attendance Makes New Wrexham Record After Big Win

Even though clubs like Arsenal and Chelsea are building terrific squads for the future, one Welsh soccer club continues to grow every season. Wrexham AFC remains the top club in recent times following their continued growth. Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney invested millions into the club. Their efforts are reaping the benefits with the team growing at a rapid pace, including stadium expansions in place. Moreover, their fan base carries the team forward with dazzling support and breaks attendance records. The record comes after their disappointing attempts to sign a player before the deal died away at 12:30 AM, leaving a bitter taste in the mouth. 

The club boasts an ardent fan base that holds its values in high regard. When they faced financial turmoil and plunged into the perils of extinction, the fans paved the way for the club to regenerate itself. They create records every season and recently broke a new attendance record in the Football League Trophy competition. 

Wrexham fan base breaks yet another attendance record!

Following Wrexham’s exponential growth, fans have come in large numbers to support their favorite team. In their recent match against Newcastle United U-21, they sold many tickets following the backing of the Wrexham fans. Around 7,988 fans showed up at the game, breaking the attendance record for the soccer club in this particular competition. Wrexham won the game 1-0 to send the fans home satisfied. Before this, the highest attendance record for this competition came back in 2005, when Wrexham defeated Oldham 1-0. 

It showcases the unwavering support the club receives from its fans on a daily basis. Apart from this competition, the EFL League Two attendances have seen high numbers through the gates. According to Transfermarket, around 30,581 spectators have attended the matches, with an average of 10,194 fans attending the games.

With stadium expansion plans underway with the revamp of the Kop, the club aims to bring in more fans for the upcoming seasons. It can boost the matchday revenues and generate capital for the club. Consequently, this comes after the disappointing news concerning Harrogate Town striker Luke Armstrong. 

Pulling the plug at the last moment!

With Paul Mullin injured after the punctured lung injury, Wrexham was in the market to acquire another striker. Nevertheless, their plans were thwarted when their last-minute bid of $630,000 for Luke Armstrong was rejected. Dejected after the deal got canceled, the club boss, Phil Parkinson, detailed the failed transfer. He stated, “We worked hard on getting a deal that suited us and Harrogate. It was held up because Harrogate wanted to get players in themselves.”

He continued, “For whatever reason, the deal didn’t get over the line. In these situations, we analyze why it (paperwork) didn’t get through. I have my thoughts on it. But that’s life and we move on.” They have appealed for the player, and hopefully, the club can get the deal over the line. As for now, the club enjoys its new attendance record. Are Wrexham fans the best?
