The Reds were back on their home turf last night and there was a party atmosphere around the town.

Fans told The Leader that they were feeling emotional at being back in their seats at The Racecourse to watch their team play Notts County.

And while the game ended in a 1-1 draw, there was still a celebratory atmosphere and a real sense of an historic season ahead.

The atmosphere at the ground was electric, with fans singing their hearts out and cheering on their team.

There had been rumours flying around town that Hollywood stars and club co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney might have been dropping in, which all added to the excitement.

They may not have made their much talked about first visit to the club just yet, but fans know that this is another thing to look forward to in what has been an extraordinary era for the club and the town, with Wrexham being talked about across the globe.

Fan Bethan Sear took to Twitter to say: "Great being back under the floodlights last night!"

Tony Merola, who is a Wrexham AFC fan living in Texas, was thrilled to hear how good the atmosphere was.

Meanwhile, Paul Onslow was flabbergasted at the throw from new signing Ben Tozer.

He also shared a nice photo from his return to the ground last night.

And Huw Roberts demonstrated his love for the club by sharing that he had travelled for 12 hours there and back from Cardiff to make the first home game.

And Scott Moreton kept the party going when he got home, enjoying a drop of Ryan Reynolds's Aviation Gin.

Striker Paul Mullin shared his thoughts on the first home game.

And we'll leave the final word to the club itself, with this rather fitting Tweet.
