Snap - 69/70 was a great season with Eddie May leading us to promotion.

Double snap !

Just looked up my first match - suggest others do by logging onto Wrexham FC Programme archive - it's brilliant for bringing back memories and has cleared some things up that were puzzling me.

Monday 02 March 1970 in the 69 / 70 season when we finished runners up.
Remember watching the game from the Yale Stand upper section - don't think the stand had been in operation for long and was all shiny and new (well the seats were)

Wrexham 0 Lincoln City 0
Attendance 7,377

I do recall it was a night match but have treble checked and for some strange reason it was on a Monday night with a 7.15 pm kick off - do remember it was a bright sunny evening.

My first ever proper football match - I was bowled over by the crowd, the vivid green of the pitch but seeing a giant in a red shirt that looked twice as big as any other player and who must have come down the beanstalk to play for us even though his name wasn't Jack but the legendary one and only Eddie May.

Good shout for the link, it doesn't do any harm to remember happier times. Big thanks to the thread originator for starting something so inclusive that it defies trolling. - I hope

Fantastic website which has helped many wrexham programme collectors,first game I think was the 76/77 mansfield defeat which cost us promotion.My dad always used to take me in the tech end I can remember many away fans,was the tech end used by both home and away.

Started following the season we stayed up vs Boston on last game of the season, unfortunately that’s also the biggest success I’ve witnessed as a Wrexham fan.

Barrow were the opposition for my first ever game. FA Cup tie November 1962 and we won 5-2. Got Liverpool in the next round.

Smitten ever since. Never have even considered having any "second" team to support either.
