A former Wrexham player has provided information about the Championship side’s fine list.
Wrexham have endured a tough start to life in the Championship since gaining a third consecutive promotion during the 2024/25 campaign.
The North Wales club currently have ten points after nine league games, having won two, drawn four and lost three of their Championship fixtures.
On Friday (October 3), the Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mc backed side drew 1-1 with fellow Championship newbies Birmingham City.

Despite signing quality players such as Kieffer Moore, Conor Coady, Lewis O’Brien and Nathan Broadhead this summer, things, at least so far, have not gone to plan for head coach Phil Parkinson.
Aside from their current poor form on the pitch, Wrexham are viewed as one of the best-run clubs in the Football League.
Their brand reaches all four corners of the globe after the hugely successful ‘Welcome to Wrexham’ documentary, which gave fans a behind-the-scenes look at the day-to-day operations of the club.

The Red Dragons travelled to Oceania during pre-season, playing matches in New Zealand and Australia in front of sizeable crowds.
This is far from most other Football League clubs, who tend to stay in Europe for pre-season.
However, despite making huge progress in recent seasons, Wrexham still use old-fashioned techniques to keep their players in order.
Former Manchester United, Birmingham City and Wrexham goalkeeper Ben Foster recently sat down with current player Andy Cannon and revealed how he saw a fine list in the dressing room during a visit to the club.

Speaking on ‘That Wrexham Podcast’, alongside ex-Wrexham defender Ben Tozer, Foster revealed: “We were in the changing rooms yesterday and we saw the current fines list. One of the fines that's on there is for not turning up for the Christmas do, and it's the biggest fine on the list. It's a £500 fine for not turning up to a Christmas do."
Cannon then explained the idea behind the penalty, emphasising how squad gatherings can boost relationships between players and team spirit.
"I think it's been key," said Cannon. "Some Championship clubs went to Vegas last year as well, and I think there were only eight or nine people turning up. Then you're getting every single one of us going.

"On Christmas dos, I think it's the same because it's good to get everyone together. If you're at a Christmas do, you see a different side of people. You'd be surprised how teams can set off on a winning streak after Christmas dos. I've seen it before."
Wrexham return to action away against Stoke City on October 18.
