Wrexham Assembly Member, Lesley Griffiths, has spoken of her pride in Wrexham Football Club’s achievements on and off the pitch this season, despite the club narrowly missing out on a place in the playoff finals at Wembley.
Having finished second in the Blue Square Premiership, Wrexham narrowly missed out on automatic promotion, despite an impressive haul of 98 points.
On Monday, although fighting valiantly back from a goal down to secure victory on the night, Wrexham lost 3-2 to Luton Town on aggregate in the playoff semi-final. For fans this was a painful reminder of last season where Wrexham lost also to Luton in the same fixture.
Following the match, Lesley said:
“For want of better words I am gutted. Gutted for all our incredibly loyal fans and even more for the players and staff who have performed so magnificently to bring us this far.
“However , we must all remember how far the club has come in the last year and just how many hurdles have been overcome to get there. This time last year nobody was even sure we would have a club, let alone one owned by the fans, for the fans, and which would go on to exhibit such great form on the pitch.
“Be it our FA Cup run or our performances in the Conference, the team have had some fantastic results this season, and are the pride of our Town as ever. We may not have made it this time, but we will be back – in contention and fighting as strongly as ever next season.”
