Wrexham vs Manchester Uniteds ticket cost is $230 and apparently it's not even uniteds first team Stupid price for a pre-season friendly but I suppose there'll be Wrexham fans excited by it & they're obviously trying to tap into the American market off the back of their owners & fair play to 'em. I bet they're hoping it'll make a nice episode for their documentary on top of a successful promotion back to the FL which is why if by some miracle collapse they don't make it I'd spend all summer laughing (again) There would be some of our lot who would be willing to fork out that to travel thousands of miles to watch us in a pre season friendly against them. Possibly more than wrexham will take.

Cant see it, missed the boat well and truly, from us having him ready to sign for £50k to no doubt having to part with around a million quid now would really hurt getting the cheque signed of by Mr Stott I would imagine, pride alone make us look elsewhere I didn’t know that. f*cks sake. Yes it was under Rusk we had him there and looking around place ready to sign a la Jamie Vardy again this one Rusk didn't want him it was around same time we brought Dunnwald-Turan in on loan to threaten the families in the popside with his one on one attempt 🤦♂️

He'd be back playing regional football after 6 games under Steve.

Nearly 300k in interest payments to start at the current rate. Have they ever said they’d be looking to convert their loans to equity like Stott?

Does this mean they spent £1.2 million on players?

Their turn over is impressive at £5.9m (a 404% increase on the previous year) considering this is before the Disney documentary and all of the additional income that will have brought in. Next year's will be incredible I'd imagine.
People like to play down the whole fairytale thing because of the money they're spending but for me, what's happening at Wrexham and at County is a fairytale. Both clubs have dropped down to their lowest low and gone very close to ceasing to exist. The fact we have owners allowing us to experience football like we never dreamed possible IS a fairytale for clubs like ours.

It's swings and roundabouts. I'm happy to see two clubs who deserved a lucky break reaping the rewards.

Wrexham fans (proper ones, not ones who want to be on Disney+ for three seconds) would do well to keep an eye on what happens to Mint Mobile’s tariffs IMO…
