At the Racecourse ground, the atmosphere is tinged with a sense of unity and commemoration. A minute of silence was observed by the fans in the stands, as a solemn tribute to those who tragically lost their lives in two major disasters: the Gresford Colliery Disaster and the Morocco and Libya natural disasters.

The Gresford Colliery Disaster holds high significance in the town’s history. Occurring in September 1934 near Wrexham, this tragic incident saw an explosion, and the subsequent underground fire claimed the lives of 266 men. Fans also memorialized the victims of the recent natural disasters in Morocco and Libya. These calamities have claimed the lives of over 9,000 people, leaving behind a trail of devastation and despair.

Recognizing the magnitude of these losses, the entire stadium, including Reynolds himself, paused for a minute of silence to grieve. As the match between Wrexham and Grimsby town finally kicked off, the somber atmosphere gradually transformed into one of excitement. For Wrexham, this is an exciting game given the form they have shown following the inclusion of new signings.
