Many newly promoted teams wind up in midtable in League Two while they make the adjustment financially and competitively. Plus, there’s plenty of money behind the club and a chance that victory will bring in even more. That is tops in the National League and would put it in the top three in attendance in League Two. Wrexham has averaged just short of 10,000 fans a game this season. (Stockport could repeat that feat this season.)Īnd while the costs of doing business will undoubtedly rise in League Two, the higher tier may not be as much of a financial stretch for Wrexham as it might be for other teams.
One, Tranmere in 2018-19, was promoted to the third tier in its first season in League Two. Over the last five seasons, none of the 10 promoted teams from the National League have been relegated straight back down the next season. In League Two, Wrexham will be playing bigger, better financed teams than it has the last two seasons.īut recent history favors Wrexham. Season 3’s story line, however, is very much up in the air. Look for the first episodes to be released in August or September. Much like the “Rocky” or “Bad News Bears” franchises, agonizing failure in Season 1 will be washed away with triumph in Season 2. Season 2 of “Welcome to Wrexham” most likely writes itself now. Manager Phil Parkinson recently led Sunderland in the third tier. The team’s star striker, Paul Mullin, was the League Two player of the season the year before he signed with Wrexham.
Wrexham goalkeeper Ben Foster, for example, once played for England. That allowed it to sign players and staff members who were out of reach for many of its National League rivals. In addition to the Hollywood star power in its owners’ box - another actor, Paul Rudd, was a guest of Reynolds and McElhenney’s on Saturday night - and the A-list sponsors that glamour brought on board, Wrexham benefited from a budget far larger than many of the teams in its league.
Well, it’s not a pure up-by-the-bootstraps tale.
