Given that his team have played 13 games in all competitions already this season, Phil Parkinson may be grateful Wrexham have a break before they return to action against Rotherham United on 19 October.
The Red Dragons were due to host Lincoln City at the Stok Racecourse on Saturday, but the game was postponed owing to international call-ups within the Imps’ squad.
Wrexham will hope to benefit from additional time on the training ground, plus a few days off.
Yet the Welsh side might have wanted to take to the field this weekend given their astonishing home record.
Wrexham have won each of their opening five home games in the current League One campaign.
The last time they achieved a better return from the outset of a season was in 1975-76, when John Neal’s side won their first six home Third Division fixtures.
Last weekend’s 4-1 triumph over Northampton Town took Wrexham to nine consecutive home league wins, matching the run set during the 2022-23 season when Parkinson’s side were promoted from the National League as champions.
However, they have some way to go when it comes to their best ever home sequence.
Wrexham won 29 consecutive home matches between February 1904 and September 1905, with 19 of those triumphs coming in the league.
Nevertheless, it is fair to say Parkinson’s home league record since becoming Wrexham boss in the summer of 2021 is formidable.
Wrexham lost just one regular season home fixture – against Yeovil Town in November 2021- across their two seasons under Parkinson in the National League.
Last term, MK Dons, Bradford City and Tranmere Rovers were the only sides to secure league wins in north Wales as Wrexham gained promotion from League Two.
That means Wrexham have won 59 of their 73 home regular-season league games under Parkinson at a win rate of 81%. They have lost just four of those matches, with the remaining 10 being draws.
These impressive numbers will undoubtedly be put to the test over the coming months as the likes of Huddersfield Town, Mansfield Town, Blackpool, Birmingham City and Bolton Wanderers come to town.
But with increased crowds and an ever-growing feel-good factor around the club, Wrexham’s Stok Racecourse fortress is proving pivotal in the club’s quest to continue their climb towards the upper echelons of the football pyramid.
