It really isn’t and you’re not. Nowhere near our biggest rivals. Most Wrexham fans will see Stockport as bigger rivals unfortunately Not telling you who to decide your biggest rival is. But that’s a competitive rivalry rather than a local derby. For example before you became a fan of Wrexham you’d have probably considered Kidderminster Harriers or Aldershot a big rival when you were playing them in the fifth tier every season. But you wouldn’t know that because you were probably a United fan or a part time Wrexham follower who waited for the glory years to show up before jumping in and claiming to be a fan. In terms of local rivalry I would place the tramps and jesters before you, but that’s me. Yep, I joined the bandwagon in 1972 aged 4 and haven’t been off it since. It stands to reason we’re acquiring more fans. Check out the stats & you’ll see why we sell out every game. The more people who want to join in, the better. Are you content with the size of your fan base or would you like to expand it? |

We get a bit of success and deserved publicity, and you become obsessed with us. Everyone starts to hate us, as if we’re the only ones not allowed decent ownership and success. Don’t worry, the bubble may burst and we’ll crawl back into our box, just how you like it. |

Jury still out on whether you have decent owners or not. You don have owners who make money out of your club, which is a proven by your accounts |

I’m happy to say I don’t hate anyone or anything. Feel for you but that’s your choice. Life’s too short to hate. Just ignore if you don’t like something, it will only eat you up.
This is a balanced take on our owners.

This is a balanced take on our owners. .I used the term hate purely as it was the word you used to say whatever now felt for you. I do think you or any of your fans say your supporters don't care about us is deluded, the FA Cup game last season proved you do care. Mind you personally think it is pure jealousy that we have been in a higher League than you for years and years, which was something you could only dream about until the recent overspending. And no I am not jealous of the debt you are in now. It's a real concern for me what our next owners will do with the Club |

And they haven't even got an away ticket collection point!!👍🤣😂🤣😂🤦🤦 I do not know how we can go on. Call the EFL, call the FA, call the police, postpone all future games until this important issue has been resolved. I mean the disgrace of it. Our owners have let everyone down. Nothing else matters. Jesus. You're not playing with a full deck are you. Just imagine actually typing those words out with such a false sense of pride. I'm overcome with pity all of a sudden. Even for a slop you're embarrassing. |

I'm currently in Wrexham , it's quiet , the calm before the storm ? when Salop dock in town and sail away with a looted 3 points 🏴☠️😉 Keep an eye out for wxm801, he’s the grubby looking guy with the missing front tooth and monobrow. Come to think of it, they all look a bit like him from round there. Gerald from Clarksons Farm is easier to understand than you lot. I bet you've got posters of him on your bedroom walls. |

Bearing in mind this the pre match thread it will probably have a meltdown after the match. Absolutely. So far its lots of willy waving by the biggest willies. Thankfully only a few of them have camped on B&A recently, sure the Facebook groups will see more Wrexham willies as the days count down. I do dread to think what it might be like should there be a win either way, though at present there is a 50% chance I might get my own willy out and wave it (Ok maybe its less than 50% in our case). |

Nowhere near our biggest rivals. Most Wrexham fans will see Stockport as bigger rivals unfortunately I've tried to stay out of this thread because some of the "banter" is nauseating but that is absolute rubbish.

The bitterness and jealousy that you can't hide is glorious to witness. You can't stand that we hit the jackpot and its eating you up. I'm glad our owners make money from the club. Good on them. The club can more than afford it and the club now makes more money in one season than yours does in 10. Get your straw hats out on Saturday and we'll throw some pennies your way so you can save up and sign another right back. I hear Chester have some decent prospect in your price range. |

Plas Coch is usually away fan friendly. The Maesgwyn Hall over the road welcomes well behaved away fans and if the weather is ok you can stand outside and they serve beer and food (its linked to a small chain of pubs called the Fat Boar) the Turf also does allow away fans in, but will be rammed on a match day with plenty of bouncers on. Failing that, I am sure that i saw the Ironworks in the City Centre is sometimes allocated to away fans Don't think I have ever been on Whatpub for an away game and seen so many pubs with "Real Ale not available". I suppose I shouldn't been surprised as it sums up the locals taste The real ale enthusiasts dont seem to moan too much in Wrexham. The Royal Oak would be your best bet, or the aforementioned Fat Boar - though i would relate that very similar to Loopy Shrew/ Lion and Pheasant in terms of its more eatery than bar |

Gerald from Clarksons Farm is easier to understand than you lot. I bet you've got posters of him on your bedroom walls. I didnt quite get what you meant there as I dont know who Gerald is so I you tubed him I've also discovered why you can understand him better than understanding us, heres what I discovered and it proves you statement to be correct The phenomenon where you feel a sense of connection or understanding with someone because they share the same accent as you is often referred to as "accent affinity" or "accent solidarity."This is related to broader concepts in social psychology, such as in-group favoritism or linguistic convergence, where individuals feel closer or more aligned with others who share similar linguistic traits, including accents. Accents can serve as social markers that create a sense of belonging or shared identity, leading to better understanding or rapport between individuals.

The only Wrexham fans who wouldn't consider Shrewsbury rivals are probably the new ones from across the Atlantic. www.dailypost.co.uk/sport/asked-wrexham-afc-fans-who-22643375Firstly, I haven’t bothered clicking on your link because I see your source of information is the Post. They burnt bridges with Wrexham fans many years ago when they decided to back the wrong horse, that being Mark Simon Guterman. You may well be right when you say I’m talking rubbish, but you may not. Opinions. There’s certainly a generation of Wrexham fans aged 25 and under for whom the Shrewsbury ‘rivalry’ means very little. Three of my sons are aged 17-25, and they have no feelings of any kind towards your club. Hardly surprising given we haven’t played each other in the league for so many years. Take a look on Red Passion. Flak towards Chester and banter with Stockport fans is prevalent. Up until this week, any mention of Shrewsbury has been non-existent. Now take this forum…..perhaps there’s a strong rivalry between the two clubs but it’s pretty much one way. Who knows? Perhaps it’s a generational thing. Tell you something though, don’t use the Post as a source of evidence to back up your argument. |

Sorry the only people your owners are making money for are themselves. The Club are losing money and in debt. All this " it has costs the owners so much" is total rubbish. Why do you think the Ckub is owned by a company that is owned by another Company? It's so if/when then owners get fed up they can wind the Club company up and no lose a cent. Now Stockport, is a totally different case, spending shed loads of money they don't have, however the owner is a boyhood fan who has written off all the debt. |
