STATEMENT ON WREXHAM’S GROWTH

February 9 marks a key date in Wrexham AFC’s modern history, with today two years to the day from the completion of co-chairmen Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds’ takeover of the Football Club.

Working towards a Mission Statement of growing the team, to return it to the EFL in front of increased attendances at an improved stadium, while making a positive difference to the wider community of Wrexham, much has changed on and off the pitch since the takeover.

This is especially true of the past 12 months, with the growth of the previous year built on following the release of season one of Welcome to Wrexham, the award-winning docu-series charting the Club’s fortunes under Rob and Ryan.

Here is a closer look at how Wrexham AFC has grown in the past 12 months.

Social Media

After passing a combined one million followers across the Club’s social media channels during Welcome to Wrexham, this number has now soared beyond 1.5 million – boosted most recently by the Wrexham’s FA Cup exploits and the global attention the matches on ESPN garnered.

TikTok

With TikTok having been announced as front-of-shirt sponsors on a two-year deal in June 2021, Wrexham made their debut on the social media following.

On February 9, 2022, the Club had recently hit the 100k-follower mark but interest has soared since.

The Club now boasts more than 660,000 TikTok followers, has amassed 6.5million ‘likes’ on the channel and, this month, a video showcasing the new player’s gym at the Racecourse Ground amassed 3.7million views.

Twitter

In the past 12 months, Wrexham AFC’s Twitter feed has gained 419.3 million impressions – an increase of more than 230 per cent over the previous 12-month period.

The Club’s Twitter following has also more than trebled in that time, with 359,000 followers – compared to 102,800 this time last year.

As a result, Paul Mullin’s dramatic stoppage-time winner against Stockport County in the FA Trophy semi-final was watched more than four million times, while the full-time Tweet from our dramatic 6-5 victory against Dover Athletic gained 16.1 million impressions.

Instagram

Wrexham have nearly five times as many Instagram followers today than they did this time last year – with 425,000 people following the Club on the platform.

With a large proportion of these followers from the United States, it remains one of the most obvious signs on social media of the Club’s worldwide growth.

Overall

Wrexham’s total audience for all social media channels has now passed 1.5 million combined followers. This includes an increase of more than 500,000 in the last four months alone.
