WREXHAM AFC recorded their biggest league attendance since the English Football League days in their latest match.
Attendances at the Racecourse ground are well and truly on the up as hopes of promotion back to the EFL are restored following a 14-match unbeaten run.
Since the takeover of the club by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney last year, there has been a real buzz both on and off the field in the town.

Wrexham‘s first 19 home league games of this season have all attracted attendances in excess of 5,000 for the first time since the 1978-9 season.
And the 1-1 draw against Solihull Moors at the Racecourse on Good Friday was the best of the lot as it attracted 9,971 spectators.
That is the highest league attendance there has been at the ground since 2007, when Wrexham were in the English Football League.
PIC: The Racecourse ground is the place to be at the moment!
It is also the highest attendance ever recorded for a National League game involving Wrexham.
Spectators turned up in their numbers to see Ollie Palmer's goal secure a point against their promotion rivals and stretch the Reds' unbeaten run to 14 matches.
Phil Parkinson's side, who currently sit second place in the National League table, return to action this afternoon v Altrincham (3pm kick off).
They will be hoping for a return to the EFL next season after a 15-year absence.
