After four games played in the new EFL League Two season, Wrexham stays 15th and accrued five points in as many starts. Sloppy defending and mistakes have made the squad look vulnerable at the back. However, fans cannot fault them for the effort. They somehow come back from the jaws of defeat, and the determined soccer team shows glimpses of passion and commitment. The team has a loyal fan base to count upon, and they certainly have impressed in filling out the Racecourse ground. 

The Wrexham supporters are a fervent group, as depicted in the compelling ‘Welcome to Wrexham’ documentary. Therefore, the team has shown promise, with the matchday revenue increasing game-by-game with sellout stadiums. The club can depend on their fan base to provide a raucous atmosphere during their home games and shown rightly so in the first few games of the season.

According to the Leader, the Wrexham fan base has arrived in large numbers to support their team. Even in the National League, the supporters came in high spirits despite having poor results to showcase for. But now, they are in the big leagues. During the enthralling 5-5 game against Swindon Town, they saw an upsurge in gate receipts, with over 10,258 fans attending the match. It was the highest figure in 16 years. Previously, the game against Boston United in 2007 saw these kinds of figures.

In their four home games of the season, Wrexham averaged over 10,194 fans, offering tremendous support throughout the match. With around 40,317 fans watching those games, these high attendance numbers could see the club getting 250,000 at the end of the season. Only Bradford City and rivals Notts County have had better matchday attendances. They reached the pinnacle of attendance numbers this season during a Bradford City game, with a staggering 17,177 fans in attendance.

With the redevelopment of the new stand in the Racecourse Ground, those numbers would increase in the distant future. After its completion, the stadium will host 15,000 fans. It helps the club to boost their matchday income.

The most passionate, loyal fan base in the league

For years, the club stood in the perils of extinction following disastrous campaigns. Finally, with the help of the new owners, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, the club stood up on two feet. One of the oldest clubs in England looks forward to playing in the English Premier League in the future. However, the path to success is not straightforward. Even though the EFL League Two is not the most prominent in the world, the club can generate revenue better than the National League.

Thus, staying in the league would be crucial to the club’s future success. The potential of losing matchday income and other television broadcasting rights could take a hit if the club gets relegated back to the National League. Do you think they will get promoted or relegated?
