Why does anyone even care about Wrexham? Just concentrate on the City.

Because they're a Welsh team who are back in the top divisions now and most like to see Welsh teams doing well. Oh yeah & I'm sure the Hollywood connection also helps in some quarters.
I've seen them mentioned on the national news in the US this morning as well as yesterday so they're certainly getting plenty of exposure that most teams (including us) can only dream about.

No they cannot. End of topic.
Hype is a funny old thing isn't it.
Congratulations to one of our rivals (I think some forgot this!), won't be such a walk in the park next year.

That is clearly a wind up post. But the funny thing is, wrexham i believe can be on the same level as swansea potential wise. So yes wrexham could become 2nd biggest club, but as everyone really knows, cardiff city the capitol of wales and with the fan catchment area and population which dwarves the other welsh club will always be the biggest club with massive potential and the real and only sleeping giant.

You honestly believe that Wrexham will be a proven championship side with promotions to the premier league, major Cup finals and a run in Europe??

If swansea can do that then yes although be hard to get in to europe, jacks winning the league cup was a good achievement but quite rare and lucky considering as they werent that good a side compared to a lot of teams in the premier league then.
Swans have been better side on the pitch more recently out of the welsh clubs and punched above their weight the same as the likes of brentford,bournemouth,burnley,brighton have. Wrexham could do the same because all them clubs have punched above their weight because they have been run very well by owners.
My post was aimed at being the biggest which is different to the best. Cardiff city if run very well like the clubs mentioned above could go on to a different level to the others because of the clubs difference in potential and fan base.

Amazing what a bit of tiktok and 2 Holywood stars can do to people's common sense.

there's no ceiling to what they can achieve at all. you only have to look around at other clubs in recent history, wigan, luton, bournmouth, brentford, swansea.. and theres many more. firstly you dont need to be a massive club with huge support and a nice new stadium to be sucessful.
secondly, you dont need to throw millions and millions at it to climb the leagues. though " smaller club" sucess is the exception rather than the rule, it really is just about getting everything right.
and besides, Wrexham wont start feeling like a small/medium sized fish until they reach the championship if that happens.

Depends on how you look at it.
Biggest club to people in Wales? No chance.
Biggest club in terms of their own commercial revenue (so no TV/prize money)? I suspect they already are.
Football wise? Possibly. But even in the worst case scenario that’s still probably a few years away. And who knows, in that time we could end up with ownership who fully utilise our potential as a capital city club and have us established in the Premier League. If we can somehow get there again and manage to stay beyond a single season I think we’d be set.

Wrexham have got everything going for them, they have the perfect owners they have the perfect ingredieants for a successful club. Will they make Premier League? I think they can because of how well the club is run and it shows on the pitch as well as off it too. Will they be the biggest team in wales? Well of course they can but this will be after they reach the premier league and remain there longer than swansea nad cardiff have done. So they got every chance of reaching the promise land at the top league. In my perfect world in football i would love it if the 4 welsh club were in the premier league, wrexham cardiff swanse and newport because what a scenario that would be for wales.
The next question will be whether wrexham can reach the top league before Newport and i would have to say yes.
It's sad to say but Newport needs the same ingredients for success as Wrexham have got now if they want similar success.
