Wrexham’s Phil Parkinson Granted Freedom of the City, Sets Sights on Fixing Home Form

He used the civic honor to spotlight the club’s local impact, calling for away-game discipline to carry over at the SToK Cae Ras.

Overview

  • Wrexham councillors formally awarded Parkinson the Freedom of Wrexham at the Guildhall, which he called a great honor and very humbling.
  • Parkinson reflected on hearing community leaders describe the club’s effect on the city and surrounding area since the current ownership took charge.
  • He stressed the owners’ message that, despite global attention, supporting local people and businesses remains the priority.
  • Wrexham have shown progress in the Championship with consecutive away wins at Millwall and Norwich, plus a 2-0 Carabao Cup victory at Reading.
  • The team is still seeking a first home league win after losses to West Brom and QPR and a draw with Sheffield Wednesday, with Parkinson urging more tightness, compactness and structure ahead of Saturday’s visit of Derby.
