Wrexham manager Jenny Sugarman said

“If we could get more than one stand filled would mean so much”, said Sugarman to the official club website.

“Our opposition today, I’m sure they will not have played in front of a crowd like that before. It could potentially be the same for Riga. It’s not just about giving our players that extra push, but it’s about taking something away from the opposition.

“Come and see history made on Saturday again, get behind the team, and you will be entertained.”
