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 bring in loan players to boost the squad on a number of occasions. Wrexham Supporters’ Association were proud to support Denis whenever we could, contributing towards the signing of players such as Lee McEvilly and paying for the hotel costs of loan players such as Ben Foster.
In total, Wrexham Supporters’ Association donated £33,404 to the club last season. We helped Johnny Edwards to maintain a good quality pitch by paying for expensive drainage work, something that could easily have been forgotten about. We also helped the club pay for scouts who had gone unpaid for a long period of time, something which could have damaged the club’s reputation in the long-run.

Craig returns to strengthen Wrexham’s defence which has been weakened by the loss of Denis Lawrence and injuries to key players. The retirement of Brian Carey has also been significant in that he brought so much...

- The Association changes its name! - Wrexham sent a clear message out to League 2 teams by beating runaway leaders Swindon Town on Saturday.

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...

- 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...
