Your social life just got a boost

Live at The Turf

Right then. Here we go. Championship football. At last. It’s been back-to-back-to-back promotion joy and now Wrexham finds itself rubbing shoulders with the big(ish) boys. And standing in the way for our very first match in the second tier? None other than Southampton. We’ve only ever played them once before, back in the misty days of the 2007 League Cup. It ended in a 3-0 loss, but history’s just a place where stats go to nap. This time, it’s different. This time, it counts.

If you’re not travelling down south, don’t be daft, there’s only one proper place to be, The Turf. Doors open early, pints are poured sharp, and if there’s ever been a match worth shouting about, it’s this one. Championship life starts here. And you’ll want to say you were part of it. Come early. Stay loud. Miss this, and you’ll be hearing about it for weeks.

Live at The Turf

Wrexham’s first home match as a Championship club sees Hull City roll into the STōK Cae Ras for a midweek EFL Cup dust-up, and it’s about time. We’ve endured the off-season, pretended to care about other sports, and even considered doing DIY. But now the countdown’s over and the real stuff’s nearly here. Hope’s been reloaded, patience left in pre-season, and the emotional rollercoaster is boarding now.

Hull rolls in from the Championship with a manager whose name sounds like a crossword clue (Sergej Jakirović, seven down, Croatian bloke, fond of 4-2-3-1s). They beat us once in 2004, and we’ve kindly held a grudge ever since. Time to even the score.

Ticket or not, The Turf is where it all begins and where you’ll catch every second live. The pints will be flowing, the butty van will be working overtime, and the football chat will range from tactically insightful to utterly unhinged. Expect big opinions, dodgy refereeing impressions, and the kind of noise that makes the walls shake. The match is on the screens, the crowd is in full voice, and your seat is waiting. See you at The Turf.

Wrexham’s first home match in the Championship is nearly here, and it’s a proper one. West Bromwich Albion, aka The Baggies, are heading to the STōK Cae Ras. We’ve only crossed paths once before (League Cup, 1997 they won, we’ve since recovered), but this time it means more. It’s our first league home game at this level in four decades. They arrive with a new manager, Mikel Antuña, a bit of Championship pedigree, and probably some misplaced confidence. Fair enough. We’ve got belief, a fired-up fanbase, and a ground that knows exactly how to rise to the moment.

Ticket or not, matchday starts and finishes at The Turf. Come early for a pint, a bite from the butty van, and the kind of football wisdom that only gets louder with each round. This one’s live on all six screens so even if you’re not in the stands, you’re still in the thick of it. After full-time, head back for the post-match analysis, where everyone’s an expert and no one agrees. The Championship has landed in Wrexham. Pint in hand, let’s make it count.

Sheffield Wednesday will be rolling into Wrexham, feathers fluffed and eyes wide. They finished 12th in the Championship last season which is impressive, considering how many clubs spent the year just trying not to fall apart. But here’s the thing: none of that matters if you’re not in the right place before and after the whistle blows. That place, conveniently, is The Turf, your footballing headquarters.

Doors will open early. The butty van will be fired up. Pints will be poured with purpose. And someone’s going to be willing to explain exactly how they’d have set the team up if given the chance (they wouldn’t have, but it’s charming). If the match is being aired live, we’ll have it across all six screens, loud and proud and we’ll update this post as soon as we know. If it’s not, you’ll still hear the roar from next door. So round up your mates and plan to settle in at The Turf.
