In Hollywood, it is impossible for one to not know the Wrexham story. It has almost been two years since Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney took over the Red Dragons. Since then, the duo has turned the tides to the Welsh side. Not only did both actors put Wrexham on the global map, but they also helped the team achieve their dream of nearly 20 years. And the club reached a new milestone again.

Not long ago, the Red Dragons started their journey in League Two after two decades. While the club’s start to the season has not been as good as the Welsh side expected it to be, the fans’ support is ever-growing. The Red Dragons played their fifth game of the season, and yet again, the fans did not fail to disappoint. 

Wrexham records its biggest crowd to date

Wrexham AFC’s recent fixture against Swindon Town at the Race Course ground was perhaps one of the most breathtaking matches. The Red Dragons pulled the game back from an impossible stage as they successfully made a comeback after trailing 4-1. While the players did an amazing job, the fans stayed until the last minute supporting the team. The latest fixture was the first time in almost 16 years that the Red Dragons witnessed such a huge crowd at the Race Course. The total attendance at the game was 10,258.

Shortly after, Wrexham’s official Twitter account shared the update as they lauded the fans for their overwhelming support. Ryan Reynolds also expressed his gratitude to the fans after Wrexham managed to complete one of the most iconic comebacks. Meanwhile, the last time Wrexham saw such an amazing crowd was during their fixture against Boston United in May 2007, where they won 3-1. Despite having a massive capacity, Wrexham is still behind other teams in the second division.
