This is a picture of the newly formed supporters squad that helped to save the North Wales Crusaders Rugby League Team back in 2011. It was taken on the pitch at the Racecourse Ground/ Glyndwr Ground and the home of Wrexham F.C.
My ugly mug is standing at the back and between the H and the A, my head seems to be blending in with the stadium steps!
The following is an extract from a chapter that includes this famous Welsh football stadium.
"We will start our journey from the centre spot in the middle of the Glyndwr University Racecourse Stadium, which is home to both Wrexham Football Club and the North Wales Crusaders (Rugby League) since starting to write the strange travel book the "Cru" has started to play their home games at the Queensway Athletic Stadium in another part of Wrexham. The Racecourse is the oldest international football stadium in the world and is listed in the Guinness book of records for that reason; the first international match was held in March 1877 it was a rematch between Wales and Scotland with the visitors running out 2:0 winners. It can also be noted that Wales have played matches there more than on any other football ground"
