Wrexham named least depressing Championship club to support this century

A study by Tipman Tips has named Wrexham as the least depressing Championship club to support this century. The analysis evaluated historical performance data across 24 Championship clubs from the 2000-01 season through the end of the 2025-26 campaign. Wrexham topped the rankings following a record-breaking run of three consecutive promotions under manager Phil Parkinson, which saw the Welsh club rise rapidly from the National League to the second tier.

The rankings assessed teams based on major trophies, promotions, relegations, points per game, and goal difference. Wrexham achieved their top placement largely due to a 1.52 points-per-game average and a +284 goal difference, finishing ahead of Cardiff City and Sheffield United. Meanwhile, West Ham United was ranked as the most depressing team to support, followed by Queens Park Rangers and Stoke City.
