but also...
b) 100% genuine and important
If I think of Jedi Wrexham fans on Red Passion I think of in no particular order...
Lowlife Lover
Red Badger
Atticus Finch
There are heaps more and thats just a small example.
Red Passion as a fan's voice has a big influence on the culture of our football club and a bigger impact than some fans may realise...
When the Darkside first approached our club in the mid 1980's we had been riding on the crest of a wave. The Wrexham Galaxy was a galaxy many other clubs and players feared to come to ... They knew the force was so strong in Wrexham it wouldn't be a great day out.
The darkside came to Wrexham because they wanted power, they wanted the power from the glory that had been achieved before them in 1978. But glory has to be earned. You can't buy glory. But they thought they could...
Then over a period of about 30 years the darkside continued in various guises to control, manipulate and strip the club for their own personal advantage. They had no interest in Wrexham Football Club. They didn't love Wrexham Football Club like we do...
Hence why a large group of brave Wrexham jedi's (not me... ) battled to get rid of them... My own role was to try to Protect The Racecourse ... and the power and strength of Red Passion as a collective voice and energy around the world did that. To stop others from stealing it ...
We have been in the National League for more than a decade. Every fan of Wrexham football club who is a genuine fan, wants our club to get back into the Football League. We have no entitlement to belong there, but our proud history and achievements suggest we deserve to get back there ...
The most difficult route is getting promoted through the play offs. The easiest way is getting promoted as champions. You only need 1 point more than the 2nd placed team. You don't need to win play off matches and then big Wembley show downs.
Its going to take a huge, massive effort to achieve it. And Sam and the players will need a huge massive effort from the fans to help them to do it...
Belief is a big part of that ...
Our fans have been incredible for years and years. And there are some younger fans who have only experienced pain and despair and do not know what it feels like to support a championship side. There is now an understandable fear of failure that impacts on their confidence and belief...
But that then in turn impacts on the players...
And if you read through the comments on the live match commentary v Braintree on Red Passion you will see that fear very turns quickly to frustration and anger. Calling Wrexham players or the manager 'brainless' for example. Sometimes you hear it at the match too and it's certainly going to impact negatively on the team.
It's time to put the anger aside. Leave the anger for the darkside who tried to ruin our football club and destroy it.
Think of the pain v Crystal Palace at home in 1977 and then Mansfield, think of the pain and frustration on the steps of Wembley v Newport, and again v North Ferriby and also the despair away to Hereford when we exited the football league. Think of all that pain and turn it into a positive championship force.
As fans we own our own football club. We control our own destiny.
We are the only ones who can hold ourselves back.
