Wayne and Stuart want to stop their club becoming history

The team takes on Southend United in the LDV Vans trophy final next Sunday.

Wayne Price and Stuart Smith started the 150-mile trip on Saturday, leaving the Racecourse after Wrexham's game against Bournemouth.

They need to walk an average of 20 miles a day to arrive in time, and will wear red wigs throughout.

The League One club is in administration and its future remains uncertain.

Money troubles

Owner Alex Hamilton has so far failed to secure a deal with potential buyers for the club, which has debts of �4.5m.

Money raised along the way will be donated to Wrexham Supporters' Trust and Wrexham hospice, Nightingale House.

Mr Smith hopes the walk from north to south Wales will highlight the club's money worries.

"We are all looking forward to playing in Cardiff but overshadowing that is the fact that in a few weeks the club could be just a part of history," he said.

The pair's route will take them through Oswestry, Welshpool , Newtown, Llandrindod Wells, Brecon, Merthyr, Pontypool, Cwmbran, Newport and on to Cardiff.

They said they hoped to arrive on Saturday, giving them a chance to put their feet up before the big day.

The red wigs have also been modelled by Wrexham players

"We need to do about 20 miles a day to get there on time," said Mr Price, who is accompany Mr Smith.

"This may be good practice for not having a team next season as we will all be looking for a hobby to fill our days."

The pair will be wearing the red wigs which all Wrexham fans have been urged to buy ahead of the final.

The Wrexham Supporters' Trust aims to raise �7,000 for its funds from sales of the wigs.

"This is a fantastic gesture, we will be on hand to help them past the Turf and down the Mold Road," said Wrexham Supporters' Trust secretary Lindsay Jones.

"Give them a wave if you see them passing, they will be easy to spot in their red wigs."
