THE ATTENDANCE for Wrexham's 5-5 draw with Swindon Town was the highest in 16 years at the Stok Cae Ras.

That day, 12,374 people turned up to watch Wrexham beat Boston United 3-1 in League Two.
Fast forward, 16 years and the 10,258 people who were in attendance at the Stok Cae Ras on Saturday (August 19) were treated to a real goal-fest.
Wrexham were 4-1 down at half time in their latest League Two match that afternoon.

A spirited fightback saw them pull it back to 4-3 before Daniel Kemp had seemingly wrapped things up for the visitors by adding a fifth with 20 minutes to go.
But, Wrexham had other ideas as two stoppage time goals from James Jones (92') and Elliot Lee (96') secured a comeback for the ages.
The club confirmed that the attendance was the highest the ground has witnessed since that Boston match in 2007.
