WREXHAM'S star owners have said they love the club and its community with 'all their hearts' after a mammoth effort to get the game on today (Saturday, March 11).
Fears were growing that the game v Southend United would be called off due to the adverse weather which brought snow and ice to the region.
But - following what was described as an 'incredible effort' by the club - staff and volunteers pulled together to clear the covers on the Racecourse ground this morning and the game went ahead.
And what made that even better was the fact that the Reds went on to win 1-0.

He Tweeted: "Today's Wrexham AFC match is happening come hell or high water. That's our manager: Phil Parkinson, our CEO: Fleur Robinson and my personal hero: Shaun Harvey, shoveling snow to clear the pitch in time.
"I love this town with all my heart. (City)."
