Dreams are enough to keep your fight going. And despite their incredible achievements, Wrexham AFC doesn’t look like stopping. Knocking on the doors of constant progress, the club has reached the English Football League One after 19 years. Apart from just promotions, it’s how they are going about it that’s impressive. And with just a couple of games to go, the Welsh club is on its way to breaking a major record in League Two.

The club, despite its consistency, was trolled by its fans for a poor record in away matches. However, their home record has been the best in the league, so far. Reports suggest that if they can score more than two goals against Stockport County on April 27th, the club will have the record for the most goals at home in a single League two season.

Meanwhile, the club has been impeccable at home, with just three losses out of their 22 games. But it’s their number of goals (60) at STōK Cae Ras, which is ranked only second in League Two. However, the current record holders are not too far. Luton Town, in one of their most remarkable seasons in the league, scored 62 goals in the 2017-18 season, which also saw them promoted to League One. Additionally, it means they surpassed other immaculate home spells from Chesterfield and Notts County, which scored 59 and 58 goals in the 2010/11 and 2009/10 seasons, respectively.

Moreover, Ryan Reynold’s club also has the highest number of home victories this season, with 16, the most in League Two. Also, this is more than Premier League giants Manchester City, Liverpool, and Arsenal this season. But will they reach the landmark against this year’s champions? Stockport has been a force to reckon with. The previous league fixture between the two teams saw the champions win 5-0. Nevertheless, you cannot count Wrexham out, as their prospects seem very bright for the third-oldest club in the world.

Wrexham’s future is estimated to be successful even as the coach promises better days

Wrexham’s back-to-back promotions have taken the soccer world by storm. Even though there is a long way to go to reach the top, Reynolds and Rob McElhenney’s team are expected to get promoted even further, according to experts. Additionally, its coach, Phil Parkinson, hinted that their juggernaut may not be over yet. The coach a few days ago was reported to have said, “Last year when we got promotion I felt there were a lot more chapters to be written,” “I firmly believe that’s still [the case] now,” citing higher targets.

Overall, the takeover of Wrexham by the Hollywood stars has changed fans’ perspectives on lower-tier soccer. And with clubs like Luton Town already reaching the top, there are high possibilities of Wrexham following a similar path.
