Wrexham have created a superb atmosphere at the STōK Cae Ras and the backing certainly helps drive Phil Parkinson’s side forward.

Nobody in League One will fancy a trip to the STōK Cae Ras any time soon.

Wrexham have been simply sensational at home this season, winning five from five at home in League One.

Wycombe Wanderers, Reading, Shrewsbury Town, Crawley Town and Northampton Town have all tasted defeat at Wrexham this season.

Phil Parkinson was also superb at home last season and Wrexham will certainly lean on that home form in pursuit of a strong finish this season.

Wrexham lead the way in League One stadium stat

The project under Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds has certainly been a factor in the matchday experience at Wrexham.

Home fans are cheering on a team they can really get behind, especially after back-to-back promotions from the National League up to League One.

Away fans also view Wrexham as a big away day now, travelling in numbers in the hope of seeing their team burst the Hollywood bubble.

All of that means that Wrexham can now boast top spot in terms of how full the stadium is on a matchday in League One.

FanHub have posted the percentages across the division, showing that Wrexham are filling 99% of the STōK Cae Ras on average this season.

That is the highest number in the league and leaves Wrexham top of the table, 6% ahead of second-placed Lincoln City.

Birmingham City are the only other club in the 90’s at 92% whilst Stockport County and Mansfield Town – two clubs who came up alongside Wrexham last season – are at 89 and 84% respectively.

The opposite end of the spectrum sees Wigan Athletic filling just 34% of their stadium on average this season with Wycombe Wanderers, Reading, Burton Albion, Barnsley and Charlton Athletic ahead of them.

Praise for Wrexham fans

Home tickets are like gold dust at the STōK Cae Ras right now and it’s no surprise to see Wrexham sitting at the top of this table.

Wrexham players certainly appreciate the support from fans both home an d away and have moved to offer praise in recent weeks.

Defender Eoghan O’Connell praised Wrexham fans as ‘unbelievable’ after the 0-0 draw at Bolton Wanderers in August.

George Dobson offered similar comments about the Wrexham fans after losing at Birmingham City.

Just last week, Arthur Okonkwo called the home atmosphere ‘incredible’, praising Wrexham fans for their loud support.

Wrexham stars are clearly loving playing at the STōK Cae Ras and seeing the stadium full on weekly basis can only help the cause.
