Why do they follow Wrexham then

You're the one trying to imply there is something more virtuous about Bournemouth's increased support

‘Content’, I just cringe at the word.

I did the opposite. I had £15 on them when we fell through the floor in December to make myself feel better if we didn't go up but cashed it out last week for a loss. They aren't catching us.

Maybe it's just me but I'd never heard of them Wrexham owners before they took over.

I still haven't

Doesn’t make any sense, real people follow Bournemouth. Wrexham averaged like 5k attendance before the takeover. If you build it, people will come.

You can’t seriously compare Wrexham’s rise through the NL and EFL to a club like Bournemouth, which achieved relative success solely by having a single wealthy benefactor pouring money in season after season without a real care of having to plugging significant losses.

Before Maxim bought the club their attendances were always in the low-mid thousands.

Success breeds more bums on seats. Shocker!!!

I don’t have the crayons for this man. Fewer real people follow Bournemouth than Wrexham compared to the money spent. If things still don’t make sense then I’m sorry you need some kind of learning specialist not a forum.

I feel you’ve got completely away from the point here. It being, Wrexham’s rise is hardly genuine- it’s just a showbiz circus with a football club attached. Eventually the owners will get bored or the TV series will run out of steam, the sponsors will dry up and they’ll regress to their natural state probably somewhere in league 1/2.

Basically not only do some people have a narrow set of parameters for who can owna club, but it seems also who can follow a club and by what means.

They are spending £90 million on stadium upgrades and regeneration around the ground and the equity firm funding them has £800 billion of assets

I haven't at all. With all due respect you've moved the goalposts several times in this discussion to the point where you're actually making things up in an attempt to prove what is becoming an entirely subjective and hypothetical non-point.

Both Reynolds and McElhenney are putting plans in place to put the club in a much stronger position in the years to come. Increasing their stadium size to a 18k capacity with a new stand is just one of those initiatives in the short term. Is that fake growth as well?

Promotion to the PL currently looks far more likely than dropping back down the leagues.

Wrexham in reality are as reliant on Reynolds and McElhenney as 85% of the English pyramid are with their respective owners but in a completely different way. That doesn't make the revenue they generate any less 'genuine' though, that's nonsense.

Not least of all because Wrexham are in literally no debt to either based on their last set of accounts as up to 23/24 has the club repaid all loans and interest owed to The R.R McReynolds Company LLC, totalling over £15 million.

If they stagnate for a number of years, interest and appetite will probably wane but then again they could be in the PL next season when their commercial revenue and sponsorship could well surpass several well established clubs overnight.

And I’m sure most fans won’t be longing for the days of 2,000 in a leaky racecourse ground playing Ebsfleet Town

TomRad85 · 2026-03-18T15:03:11+0000

Can we please refer to Wrexham by their proper Welsh name, Wrectum. Have a bit of respect ffs.

Well there's only 8 games left so i'd imagine it'll be at least half of those. We'll just have to make do, i'll be less bothered if Rudoni and Thomas come back soon.

So?

I still don't want the circus that Wrexham have become, which is the statement that kick-started this conversation.

If we go up, it remains to be seen what will happen, how we'll be financed and by whom, or how much I'll enjoy supporting us in the modern Premier League.
