Season finale a ‘celebration’ for Wrexham & Stockport – Parkinson

Manager Phil Parkinson has described Wrexham’s final game of the season against Stockport County on Saturday as a “celebration”.

Stockport, already crowned League Two champions, have secured automatic promotion along with Wrexham.

“We’re ecstatic to win promotion but we are going to go all out to play as well as we can and try and finish the season well,” Parkinson said.

“It’s always good to finish at home with a good performance.

“Of course that’s what we are aiming to do. We’re up against an excellent side – we know that and credit to [Stockport boss] Dave Challinor and his staff for what they’ve achieved.

“We’re looking forward to the weekend but excited to go toe-to-toe with them again next year in terms of both going into a new division.

“When the fixtures came out I think everybody looked at this fixture and could it be a season-defining game?

“Fortunately both teams have got the business done early and it’s great for us to meet in what is a celebration game.

“Equally, we’re looking forward to a cracking atmosphere here at the Racecourse.

“It’s great, a finale of our League Two campaign and we can then look ahead to the summer and League One next year.”
