Wayne reflects on pre-season preparations, the mood in the squad, and how the new signings have settled in. With the season now underway, we dive into how he’s feeling about Wrexham’s start, the transfer business, and the buzz around town as expectations continue to grow. A fresh season, the same passion — and plenty of Wayne’s trademark honesty. #WrexhamAFC #SouthStand #WayneJones #WelcomeToWrexham #UTST #COYR #Wrexham

Amber’s Army was created in 2023 by Amanda and Jon Sheehy in memory of their daughter, Amber, who courageously fought a brain tumour and passed away aged eight  .

In this episode, Amanda shares:
• Amber’s journey and the inspiration behind founding Amber’s Army
