WREXHAM AFC has thanked fans for the 'fantastic support' they showed during the club's first midweek match of the season.

The Reds were beaten 5-3 by MK Dons in their first League Two match in 15 years on Saturday (August 5).

But, three days later, Phil Parkinson's side bounced back as they advanced to the second round of the Carabao Cup.

Following a 0-0 draw, Wrexham went on to win 4-2 on penalties against Wigan Athletic - who play one league above them.

As always, the support shown for the team was nothing short of incredible - espeically when you consider it was a midweek match.

A crowd of 9,736 people watched on from the Racecourse stands on Tuesday evening (August 8).

1,044 of those were Wigan Athletic fans who made the short trip up to north Wales.

Wrexham AFC took to Twitter to write: "Thank you for your fantastic support, including the 1,044 travelling Latics fans."

Up next for Wrexham is their first away trip of the League Two season.

The Reds will travel to Wimbledon this Saturday (August 12) as they look to put things right following last weekend's defeat.
