More than 200,000 Wrexham fans attended games at the Racecourse Ground over the course of the 2021/22 season. 

The campaign which started with so much promise before a ball was kicked back in August ended in disappointment as the Reds are set for another year in the National League. 

Saturday's 5-4 defeat at home to Grimsby condemned Phil Parkinson's side to a 15th year in the fifth tier of English football. 

Coupled with the club's 1-0 defeat at Bromley in the FA Trophy Final six days earlier and it was a week to forget for anyone associated with the Reds.

But for the majority of the nine months prior, it has been a season to remember. 

The signings of League Two's top scorer and Player of the Year Paul Mullin, a League Two promotion-winning captain Ben Tozer and leading League Two centre-back Aaron Hayden amongst others sent promotion hopes racing round the town. 

The Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds era was just getting started at the Racecourse.

However the electric start most were after didn't materialise and Wrexham looked a long way off promotion heading into 2022. 

The signing of Ollie Palmer seemed to turn the tide, his contribution and partnership with Super Paul powered the Reds into a Trophy Final and within a chance of the title. 

It was not to be.

One thing is for sure, the Wrexham fans have been on another level all season. 

Attendances at home games this season is 215,067 in all competitions, yes 215,067!

199,907 of that is from the 22 National League games, at an average of 9,087.

That average attendance would be the third highest in League Two and 11th in League One, which is staggering. 

13,968 came through the gates in three games for the club's FA Trophy run and 1,192 watched the FA Cup clash against Marine at Nantwich Town (not at the Racecourse, but Wrexham classed as the home side). 

Add in the 25,000 or so that made the trip to Wembley and the big crowds taken to Chesterfield, Stockport and Notts County, it is clear the Wrexham fans are special.

Then there is the 277 fans who made the five hour trip to Weymouth on a Tuesday evening...

While the weekend's result will hurt, it will make the players and staff more determined next season and if one thing is for sure, they'll be thousands of Wrexham fans cheering them on.
