The short answer is that they believe in the team’s potential and want to help it reach its full potential. As the third oldest soccer club in the world, Wrexham AFC has a rich history. But recent years have been tough for the club, and it has struggled to stay competitive. Hopefully, their involvement will help to improve the fortunes of the team.
