    WHAT FRANK SINCLAIR SAID

    Quizzed on whether that would lead to supporters and co-owners losing interest, Sinclair – speaking in association with – told GOAL: “It depends how deep you are into football. For me, the glory that has been the documentary etc and the press around Wrexham in the last three years, I would still be interested in how they come back from a little bit of adversity and how they tackle that sort of situation.

    “There are a lot of people who jump on the bandwagon when things are going really well. Just from my taste of the community, in and around Wrexham when I played there for a couple of seasons, they are real supporters. They have been able to galvanise them and keep that real support within this new community that Wrexham have been able to establish.”
