Dragons News (from Wrexham Football Club)

Wrexham sent a clear message out to League 2 teams by beating runaway leaders Swindon Town on Saturday.

It’s a bit early to be talking about the Player of the Year, but Mark Jones has already put a marker down with 5 goals from midfield. Mark won the Evening Leader and Wrexham Supporters’ Association Young Player of the Year award last season and will be looking to graduate to the senior award this year. There is plenty of competition though and a number of players are likely to push Mark all the way this season.

It was back to business last Thursday, September 7th when the Association held its Annual General Meeting (AGM). This was a timely meeting following Wrexham’s successful exit from administration and a time to reflect on the achievements of the past 12 months. Following the club’s change of name to Wrexham Football Club 2006, the time was right for the Association to start afresh with a new name and new President.

Resolutions to change our name to Wrexham Supporters’ Association and appoint former Wrexham centre-half, Alan Fox, as our new President were both passed. Although both changes represent a new start for the Association they also bring us closer to our roots as an organisation. The Association has traditionally been an independent organisation which aims to represent fans at all levels and celebrate the achievements of former players.

• Last chance to buy Hall of Fame tickets - After our eighth defeat in nine matches, we could certainly do with a few clean sheets! Hopefully Craig Morgan will provide some experience and stability at the back and, who knows, could return permanently when the transfer window opens in January. Another Wrexham defender who could always be relied upon was Mike Williams. Mike joined Wrexham Football Club in 1985 and played 232 times for the Robins (as we were nicknamed back then) until a knee injury ended his career. Mike was the first player to be awarded Wrexham Supporters’ Association Player of the Season award in successive seasons (1985/6...
• It’s just like watching Wrexham! - “It’s just like watching Wrexham,” sang the Wales fans on Tuesday night when our national side beat Lichtenstein 4-0 at the Racecourse. Super Stevie Evans capped a fantastic week with his first Welsh cap against the smallest national team in Europe. Evans was superb against Stevenage last weekend, his constant running eventually setting up Danny Williams’s goal. Against Lichtenstein, Evans looked every bit the seasoned international player and should be given another chance to shine in the not too distant future. It was back to business last weekend after the Hall of Fame award night. Unfortunately Brian Flynn and Johnny...
• Vote for the Player of the Season - Time's running out if you want to vote for the Supporters Association's Player of the Year (vote here), and as I ruminated over who I would plump for, I realised that the nature of the field revealed a lot about our season. Perhaps I should say the nature of the fields, as there are two awards. The young player of the season is recognised too, and a look at the contenders for both awards is rather revealing. To be honest, there really aren't too many real contenders for the senior award, which... Read Vote for the Player of the Season...
• Weekly Review - After two heavy defeats, the Dragons salvaged their pride and gave Birmingham City a run for their money in the Carling Cup this week. The cup performance underlined the players’ determination to get things back on track and should give the team a good boost when they return to league action. With a number of key players out injured, Denis Smith did well to assemble a team that took this former Premiership club to extra time. Well done lads! Denis worked wonders while Wrexham were in administration. Wrexham were limited to a squad of just 20 players and had to...
