I remember going to Wrexham in the 90's with Walsall and some lads from the Wrexham fanzine were doing a bucket collection to help save the club. I gave them a couple of quid and we had a good football chat they were very grateful. Its incredible how times have changed. I hope those lads are still fans and enjoying the better times

great little video thanks for visiting Wrecsam. Even though only a few miles away and a season ticket holder i really do need to visit the museum more. By the way , did Alun Jones say we were in the first division in 70s - maybe i misheard, as your graph showed in the 70s following promotion in 69-70 we were in Div3 with promotion to Div 2 (now Championship) in late 70s. Hopefully hopefully this IS our season to return to EFL, but we've had so many disappointments , until its confirmed we will be careful as others eg Notts Co are also looking good. Looking forward to watching your other videos , keep them coming .
