Fans send in messages of support ahead of huge Wrexham match
The Reds are on the verge of a historic third successive promotion - something no other English Football League team has ever done before.
A win over Charlton Athletic, coupled with dropped points by Wycombe Wanderers in the earlier kick-off, would see Wrexham move on up to the EFL Championship next season.
Earlier this week, we asked Reds fans/Leader readers to send in some messages of positivity to Phil Parkinson and his side.
Here's what they had to say...
Wrexham players applaud the fans following victory in the Sky Bet League One match at Bloomfield Road, Blackpool. Picture date: Monday April 21, 2025. PA Photo. See PA story SOCCER Blackpool. Photo credit: Richard Sellers/PA Paul Davies said: "Was there in '78, history is in our hands. Play as we did Monday on the front foot and we will win. Good luck Parky and the team."
Ann Frostick said: "Please let Mullin take the field, even if it's at the 88th minute. He and Palmer laid the groundwork in getting Wrexham where it is today. They should be part of this historic season. Up the town!"
Stephen Matthias told us: "Phil and team, you have done us proud since you've been here. This journey we are on is exciting and memorable. Give it everything you have and lets make some history."
Jill Howell added: "All we ask is that you do your very best for yourselves, the club and fans, really hope to see you go up again but whatever the end of the game brings the town will be proud of our team, so onwards and upwards lads go on that pitch Saturday and play your hearts out!"
Darren Edwards said: "I lost my dad (a supporter of over 70 years) at the start of this incredible journey, he would have been so proud of where we are today and it's a shame he is not here to see it.
"Go out there on Saturday and show them the spirit of this club and get it over the line for the generations who we have lost and the generations to come. You are on the verge of something truly remarkable and we have as a team and community enjoyed the ride, we won't stop singing for the full 90 minutes - let's finish this."
Paul Griffiths said: "To the fans, we must make the Cae Ras more hostile and louder than it has ever been before. Every stand needs to be rocking on Saturday not just the usual sections. Back the team to glory."
Thommy Thomas added: "Parky, you've already made history, but now it's time to make legend. One more win, one more chapter in the greatest story in football. The whole town, the whole world is behind you. Let's finish the job—see you in the Championship!"

Derek Oldfield said: "I was there in '78 with my son and told him 'savour this, it's once in a lifetime', the lads will prove me wrong."
Some said that they will be supporting from the other side of the world, like Jon Hughes, who said: "Cheering you on from South Australia….".
And even some fans of other teams will be backing Wrexham, like Patricia Sherer who told us: "Good luck for your last two games, play your hearts out. I'm a Swansea supporter and I have been following your journey for the last three years.
"After I see how Swansea have got on in their game, I always check the Wrexham score, you are my adopted team. Fingers crossed that you will get automatic promotion."

David Moyes learned of OBE at grandson's nativity play
Moyes, 62, had not been checking the post because his mother-in-law was in poor health. The former Manchester United and West Ham boss was formally made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire by avid football fan the Prince of Wales during a ceremony at Windsor Castle on Wednesday. Reflecting on when he learned of the honour, in December, the former Celtic and Preston player told the PA news agency: 'I was actually at my grandson's nativity and I'd got a call from the Home Office. 'My mother-in-law wasn't well, she was dying at the time, and we hadn't opened up the mail for a wee while – you know, we'd been concentrating on my mother-in-law. The Prince of Wales honours Moyes at Windsor Castle (Yui Mok/PA) 'I had to say to my wife, 'Can you check and see if I've had a message here?' 'I didn't believe them. I can sometimes get quite a lot of phone calls which you don't always believe. 'I went back, we checked, and I've got to say it was a big moment for both me and my wife. It was emotional.' Moyes was in charge of West Ham from 2017-2018 and then 2019-2024, the highlight of his second stint coming when he guided the Hammers to 2023 Europa Conference League glory – their first major trophy in 43 years. He suspected his success at the London club was a key part of him making the New Year Honours list. Moyes with the Europa Conference League Trophy following West Ham's victory over Fiorentina in June 2023 (PA) 'Bringing a trophy to West Ham, I think was huge, and I've been really fortunate that I've been able to manage and stay in the game for a long time, which in itself is something which is not easy to do in the league which is seen as the best league in the world – it's not easy to have longevity in it,' he said. The Glaswegian, 62, managed Everton from 2002-2013 and returned to the Merseyside team earlier this year. Moyes said Aston Villa supporter William congratulated him during the ceremony on his work at Everton. The father-of-two told PA: 'He actually congratulated me on Everton and was praising for especially the way things have turned around in the second half of the season. 'I had said that I thought his side were doing remarkably well.' William and Prince George during Villa's Champions League match against Paris St Germain at the Parc des Princes in April (Adam Davy/PA) Villa finished sixth in the Premier League, with Everton in 13th place, having been just one point above the relegation zone when Moyes took over in January. The Prince of Wales often attends Villa games and has been photographed with his son Prince George at their matches. Moyes added: 'He actually commented that it's great that he's seen them, and he's trying to enjoy all the good times at the moment with Aston Villa. 'He takes his sons, which is great – I think in many ways it shows that the royal family are very much part of the people as well and want to do normal things in life.' Moyes has overseen the third-most Premier Leagues matches as a manager, behind Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger.

Rangers transfer news as big spenders join Matija Frigan chase and Vaclav Cerny loan terms ‘revealed'
The former Croatian youth international is on Gers radar this summer Interest in Rangers target Matija Frigan is heating up - with the Westerlo frontman now linked with a reunion with one of his former managers who has now taken up the reins at an English Championship club. Record Sport understands that the Croatian striker is a summer target for new Gers sporting director Kevin Thelwell, who is keen to make his mark at Ibrox. Frigan joined Westerlo from Rijeka in 2023 and has scored 19 goals across his two seasons so far in Belgum. However, Record Sport has also learned that newly promoted Bundesliga side Hamburg are also in the race to land their forward, and are willing to launch an £8.5 million bid that could blow Russell Martin 's side out of the water. And reports in Croatia now state that English second tier side Hull City are also very keen on Frigan. The Tigers have just appointed Sergej Jakirovic - who previously led Dinamo Zagreb to the league title in 2024 - as their new head coach. Jakirovic previously worked with Frigan at Rijeka and it was under his management in the second half of the 2022/23 season that the Gers target enjoyed his best scoring campaign to date, netting 15 times in 32 matches in all competitions. And the EFL club are said to be hopeful that the previous working relationship between the duo could give them the edge in a potential transfer tussle. Hull were taken over by Turkish media moguls Acun Medya in 2022 and splahed out nearly £30million on transfer fees last season as the Championship side only avoided the drop to EFL League One by virtue of goal difference. One man who Rangers fans would love to see back at Ibrox next season is Vaclav Cerny. But the chances of the Czech Republic star pulling on the Light Blues' jersey once again is looking increasingly unlikely, with the returning Wolfsburg winger not short of suitors. The Bundesliga side are said to have placed a £9million price tag on Cerny's head, having signed the 27-year-old for £8million from FC Twente in 2023. Turkish outfit Trabzonspor are very keen on the player, and are reportedly willing to cash in on their £9.3million-rated Ukrainian international Oleksandr Zubkov in order to fund a deal for Cerny -who is said to be looking for a salary of around £2.9million a year. Haber61 claim that the Super Lig team will submit an initial loan offer to Wolfsburg with an obligation to buy next summer.
