Football programmes provide great momentoes from individual matches, and together build up a unique history of a club. However, one thing they can't do is describe the outcome of the game itself. This is no doubt why many programmes end up with team changes and scores written over them. Programme collectors will be familiar with frustrating abbreviations such as wof, sof and tc!
This section focuses on key games in Wrexham's history and looks at how those games were reported in the programmes from both teams' subsequent fixtures. The number in brackets after the team name indicates the tier in the Football League the club was playing at. Please click "view" to see the programmes relating to each game listed.
