Someone on the Live Match Thread (I didn't catch which planet he was from), suggested that this was poor for a club at the top of the table.

Let's put it into context. Shrewsbury are top of League One and look a good bet for Promotion to the Championship...

... but when you adjust the average attendances for away support, they are getting an average of 5,325 in blue and amber through their turnstyles, while we are getting 4,229 Wrexham fans. Only a thousand fewer.

Shrewsbury are flying high, two entire leagues above us, with highlights on terrestrial telly every week and the prospect of playing the likes of Villa, Forest, Leeds and Fulham next year, yet we are still in the same ball park attendance-wise, as we take on the might of Guiseley, Solihull and Bromley.

The potential at this club is frightening.
Don't know if it's just me but I thought more there tonight than Saturday?
