Combined the owners have serious amounts of money, I can imagine the bring in lots just through sponsor deals. They are on TV probably more than half the premiership clubs with their own series on Disney. They are spending 20 million on a new stand. They have already acquired players from leagues above them because money talks. Currently averaging 10,575 at home, United Airlines front-of-shirt sponsor, stadium sponsorship with SToK Cold Brew Coffee and a training kit partnership with Betty Buzz, the beverage company set up by Blake Lively, the wife of Wrexham co-owner Reynolds. Previous deals with TikTok, Expedia, Aviation American Gin and Vistaprint. Sold 24,000 shirts during 22/23 and made roughly £321,000 per hour of content for the eight-part Welcome to Wrexham TV series which equates to around £2.57 million. Even their average attendance sums it up. 10 years ago they weren't even averaging 3k. Just 2 years ago their average attendance was just over 4k. Where have those 7k come from? They're not Wrexham fans. This whole love in with Wrexham is pretty tedious and I just don't get it, it's just a vanity project for a couple of self obsessed Hollywood celebrities. |

They have already acquired players from leagues above them because money talks. Not compared to a lot of other clubs it's not serious money. This is my point about Wrexham, they're just showing off. Compared to other clubs their wealth is small fry. The Hollywood owners factor is giving them coverage and exposure but deep down they're not as mega rich as people think they are. They only just sneaked out the Conference last year, and this year they're behind Stockport and are only 2 points ahead of 6th place it's not as if they're steamrolling everybody in their wake. I just don't see why people think they're just going to rise up through the leagues instantly. They hardly sneaked out the league, they had over 100 points on the board, rare that you get 2 teams doing that. They are second in league 2 with a game in hand of 3rd, so hardly slowing down. This i believe is their 3rd season in charge. As Pirate has listed, they are bringing in money from big household name sponsors. I can see them making it championship with a couple years. |

That increase in 7k supporters isn't just going to disappear and is exactly why they will keep pushing for promotion. Do you think everyone is just going to get bored once they make it the Championship? Not really sure why you find it so hard to believe. |

Where does the 7k come from.
Where do our 30k come from when we get to Wembley?

Sat next to a guy at the Millenium when we played Doncaster in the Johnson Paint Trophy final who claimed to be a Rovers Fan but didn't have a clue about our club or the players so guess the big occasion brings em out.

They’re doing alright now but they’ll struggle to maintain their momentum into League One and if they make it to the Championship they’ll definitely start to struggle to progress.

But can they keep on increasing home attendances as they rise though the leagues, at some point they'll hit a ceiling, Wrexham is around a ⅒ the size of Bristol and we don't have two Premiership side just short drive away. Although not even sure Wrexham have the money to buy Collins as their transfer record fee is even lower than Rovers. |

The more I think about his thoughts that he couldn’t play yesterday the more annoyed I get.
You can bet your mortgage that if we were at Anfield today that he’d be feeling absolutely fine to play!
Proper 💩🏡 behaviour

Does'nt need to be a big occasion -- I happen to stand next to a lot of these type of people at most home games. |

Perhaps but if you look at what Bournemouth , Burnley , Luton etc have done then perhaps they’ll do something similar. |

It’s not momentum they’re buying success. They despised teams who did it when they couldn’t get out of NL but teams like FGR, Salford, Fleetwood to name a few were buying their way out of it. Even worse are their fans who spout them always having great support but seem to forget that they averaged 3-4k not long ago. Happy for them to buy Azza but if we get less than him than we did Ellis then I’d be annoyed |

The fans of Wrexham are living the dream I'd imagian it's a working class town and most of the fans who attended games are working class. Luton and Bournemouth are prem clubs and potentially Wrexham may end up one. The Hollywood movie

Those 7k extra fans aren't Wrexham fans, they're American tourists and such like visiting a little Welsh town just because of Ryan Reynolds. I don't tbink they will get to The Championship any time soon and I think the novelty will wear off. It's just my opinion that they won't just move up the leagues and they've hoodwinked people into thinking they're some mega wealthy superpower that's all. |

Happy for them to buy Azza but if we get less than him than we did Ellis then I’d be annoyed Exactly. Each league higher they go they’ll need to spend more, and that alone won’t necessarily guarantee success. This year they’re having to outspend your Gillinghams, MK Dons, your Mansfields. Bradford but wtf is going on with them? Next year your Readings, Boltons, Barnsley’s, Ipswich, Peterborough’s, Portsmouths and perhaps you might even want to chuck us into the mix. These clubs are often basket cases but they’re a buyout away from chucking money at success. Whoever goes up gets replaced by another former big time Charlie club. It just ain’t happening for them at that point - all of a sudden they’re not so big. Seems they’re not interested though in AC anyway and Bolton are the club in for him |

Before everyone kills the lad, he’s been treated bad by the club. We offered him an extension around the time JCH was about to sign, the deal was agreed and you can guess who pulled it. His name has also been hawked around all over the place for last 2 weeks as well by club. Personally I will always thank him and clap him when he returns to face us one day. But even before his contract issue this season, his form since last Christmas has been bad and I would take £500k plus for him. All the best Aaron Stinks of the owners idiot son again causing mayhem. TBH I like Collins the player, but in all honesty, with approximately 21 months left on his contract last Sept, and the fact his goalscoring ability dropped considerably in the second half of last season, perhaps the ‘idiot son’ had second thoughts & decided that AC should prove he hasn’t lost it completely before we pay him £x more on a new contract. At that time who would have recommended to the owners that we offer him a new contract? |
