Your social life just got a boost

Live at The Turf

It’s been 44 years since Wrexham last reached the third round of the EFL Cup. Let that sink in. We’ve had new owners, new leagues, a few documentaries, and at least three different hairstyles since then, but this is a proper milestone. And who’s standing in the way of the next chapter? Reading.

The Royals will be making the trip from Berkshire, a place mostly known for roundabouts, a defunct biscuit factory, and a lion mascot named Kingsley Royal who looks like he was ordered online at 2am and arrived slightly deflated. Intimidating? Not especially. But they’ll still show up looking to spoil the evening.

This one’s under the lights at the STōK Cae Ras, and it’ll be live on the screens inside The Turf. Whether you’ve got a ticket or not, this is where the night begins and where the best parts tend to happen. The butty van will be sizzling, the pints flowing, and the opinions will be flying, whether anyone asks for them or not. If you miss this one, you’re not just skipping a match you’re skipping a moment. Don’t do that. Be here.

The Rams will be making the journey from the East Midlands, horns polished and hoping to leave with more than polite applause. Their football? Structured, steady, and about as thrilling as a committee meeting, until it suddenly works. They’ll be hoping it does. Wrexham, meanwhile, will be counting on home support to crank the noise up and the pressure on.

Whether you’ve got a ticket or not, The Turf is your matchday starting point. Come early, grab a pint, something to eat from the butty van, and settle in with the usual pre-match optimism. If you’re heading to the ground, make sure to stop back in after the final whistle. If you’re not, stay put we’re airing the match live inside the pub, where the atmosphere rarely drops below full tilt. Skip it, and you’ll absolutely be hearing about it from everyone who didn’t.

Leicester is perched near the top of the table, strutting around like they never left the Premier League despite all evidence to the contrary. They’re hosting Wrexham at the King Power Stadium, which sounds less like a football ground and more like somewhere you bulk-buy batteries and garden furniture. Their mascot, Filbert Fox, will no doubt be there too, wide-eyed, bushy-tailed, and looking like he’s just wandered off the cover of a cereal box. Intimidating? Not quite. Enthusiastic? Worryingly so.

But our lads are hungry. Not just for goals, but for respect. They’ve heard the noise, seen the table, and they’re not turning up to clap politely. Wrexham’s out to show they belong in this league, and nights like this are where that proof begins.

Can’t make the trip? The Turf has you covered. The match will be aired live inside the pub, and the only thing louder than the commentary will be the crowd reactions. Whether you’re here for football, the pints, the butty van, or just to be in a place that feels part of the matchday, this is it. If you’re not at King Power, you’d better be at The Turf. Miss it, and you’ll be getting second hand stories for days.

Mark your calendars, sharpen your pencils, tattoo it on your forehead, whatever it takes to remember because the Blues are heading up from the West Midlands soon. Let’s be honest, this wouldn’t be half as fun if it weren’t for the names up top. Brady’s bringing the NFL polish, Rob’s bringing the chaos, and somehow, it’s turned into one of those fixtures that matters more than it probably should. And we’re all here for it.

And the show starts at The Turf. Got a ticket? Grab a pint, hit the butty van, and head to the ground, just don’t forget to come back after the final whistle. No ticket? Stay put because we’re airing the match live inside the pub, where the energy doesn’t dip. It’s under the lights, which makes everything louder, sharper, and just a bit more personal. Skip The Turf, and you’ll be hearing about it all week. Whether you like it or not.

The Declan Swans are set to turn The Turf FanZone into the loudest spot in Wrexham, guitars roaring, lyrics flying, and a crowd ready to shake the place to its bones. This isn’t your average gig; it’s a full-throttle night in support of the Terry Fox Run Wrexham and The Institute of Cancer Research UK, blending music, mayhem, and meaning in equal measure. Expect the chaos only The Swans can deliver: singalongs shouted louder than the band itself, stories that somehow get funnier with every pint, and an atmosphere thick enough to rattle the windows. If you’ve been before, you know. If you haven’t, you’re about to find out.

And here’s the best bit: it’s free entry. No tickets, no faff, just turn up and dive in. From the first chord to the final chorus, this is a night to throw yourself into headfirst part gig, part gathering, part fundraiser, and all heart. So grab your mates, bring your voice (tuneful or not, no one’s judging), and be part of a night where Wrexham music and Wrexham spirit come together for something bigger than us all. The Declan Swans will supply the soundtrack; the rest is up to you.

Oxford United will be heading over from the land of dreaming spires and overpriced scarves, hoping to make an impression. They call themselves the U’s, which sounds less like a football club and more like an incomplete sentence. Their mascot is an ox named Olly, because of course it is, and while he won’t be making the trip, the rest of the herd will be looking to cause trouble.

And if you’re anywhere near Wrexham, you’ll want to be part of it. The Turf isn’t just a pit stop, it’s where matchday finds its footing. Pints are poured, theories are shared, and someone’s always got a mate who “knows someone at the club.” Whether you’re off to the ground or watching the crowds roll past, this is where the heartbeat is. The match itself will be airing live inside the pub so you don’t just feel the atmosphere, you’re in the middle of it. If you miss it, well… you’ll be the only one who did.

Coventry will be marching into the STōK Cae Ras on Halloween night, convinced they’ve got the firepower to hand Wrexham a loss under the lights. Confidence in the boots, bravado in the bag, but this isn’t the kind of ground you just wander into without a fright or two. Because Wrexham under the floodlights is different. Our lads aren’t here for treats they’re here to dish out something Coventry won’t be taking home gladly. Nights like this matter, and the Sky Blues are about to get the memo the hard way.

Got a ticket? The Turf’s your headquarters before and after, where the matchday buzz starts early and doesn’t clock off. No ticket? No problem. The game’s live on our TVs inside the pub, with the kind of noise that makes you forget you’re not inside the stadium. Add in a pint, the butty van, and a few dodgy Halloween costumes, and you’ve got all the ingredients for a night you want to remember. Miss The Turf and you might as well dress up as ‘bad life choices’ for Halloween.

Wednesday night, first week of November, and Wrexham are off to Portsmouth. Fratton Park, loud, proud, and one of the oldest grounds still standing. The locals call it a fortress, though half the time it feels more like a theatre where the main act is a sea shanty singalong. Portsmouth carries plenty of history and a knack for making visitors uncomfortable. They’ll bring the noise, the bluster, and of course Nelson the Dog, their mascot who looks more like a stuffed toy from a carnival stall than the defender of a fortress.

But this isn’t a sightseeing trip. Wrexham, under the lights, don’t pack their bags for postcards they travel to make a point. And a Wednesday night in Portsmouth is as good a stage as any to write it down. Not making the journey? The Turf is the next best thing, think of it as Fratton Park without the sea air and with better pints. The match will be live on our TVs, the pints flowing, and the atmosphere buzzing from first whistle to last. Miss it, and you’ll spend your Wednesday night wondering why you chose the sofa over the story.

Saturday afternoon in November at the STōK Cae Ras and yes, welcome to the circus, the one Charlton’s coach couldn’t stop talking about. Funny thing is, if this really is a circus, it’s the kind where 10,000 voices drown out the brass band, the players run the show, and the visitors are the ones slipping on the banana peels.

There’s no juggling act in Wrexham red, just ninety minutes of grit dressed up as a spectacle. Call it chaos, call it theatre, call it whatever you like, but Charlton will be centre stage whether they’re ready or not, and it’s rarely a flattering role.

And then there’s The Turf, the real big top. Ticket or not, this is matchday HQ: the pints, the noise, the stories that stretch further than any coach’s excuse. Around here, “circus” isn’t an insult, it’s a show you’d be daft to miss.
