THE SUPPORT on show for Wrexham was simply incredible during the year of 2023.
And the club's players and staff certainly repaid that level of faithfulness shown by the fans as it turned out to be a year to remember.
2023 was the year that Wrexham ended 15 years of heartbreak to return to the English Football League.
They did so by beating Boreham Wood 3-1 back in April of last year to be crowned National League champions.
A Hollywood takeover by Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds - and the Welcome to Wrexham documentary - has also helped to boost the club's popularity to unprecedented levels.
And that has meant that attendances - both home and away - have been sensational.
Sell-outs are the norm at the STok Cae Ras and bagging an away ticket has become like trying to get a golden ticket to the Wonka factory.
