Wrexham, who could be homeless in the summer if the club is not sold and also out of the Football League as soon as June 10th if they cannot confirm they can honour their fixture list next season, have faced a torrid time this season, with one thing after another threatening to be the end of their club.
Yet on the pitch the team still battle on in hope of surviving in League One, hindered by a cruel 10-point deduction for entering administration in December 2004, they may be in the relegation zone and almost down, but they certainly are not out.
Denis Smith has to Manager of the Season for the way he has steered his small playing squad through the murky depths of League One football.
Dogged by injuries, a Chairman who wants to close the football club to make way for a B&Q on the club's home for over 100 years Smith has somehow managed to keep his men going, driving them on through the heartache of knowing it could all be for nothing come the summer...no contract, no club, no wages.
Heavy defeats have hit Wrexham during the season against Luton and Sheffield Wednesday, but it could all have been so different. Innocuous decisions plague not only the top flight, but also League One, and Wrexham have had their fair share against them, sometimes costing them two points.
Yet, a point to a club, on the brink of extinction, is a point earned, a point proven to the football world. It's not over until there's no more points to be won, no more time left to turn things around and find a buyer.
Potential buyers have come knocking, yet nothing has materialised, the fans still crying out for a saviour, someone to come forward and save their beloved club. National pleas, demonstrations, zany publicity stunts have been arranged by those who hold Wrexham in their heart, because the people of Wrexham have hearts, big hearts, which could be broken and savagely ripped out of their chest because of greed, greed of one man who could save their club by selling it and the ground to someone who wants the club to survive, wants to turn around the club's fortunes and wants to keep the club going.
But that is not what Alex Hamilton wants. He dislikes the football club, dislikes the fans and all they stand for. He does not care if the club dies, if their fans become heartbroken and there is no team left in Wrexham.
The one think he does like and perhaps cares for is the Racecourse Ground, home of Wrexham FC for over a century and worth, to him, several million pounds if sold to the right people.
But what of the fans, the club staff, the players, coaching staff and their family, they are of no concern to him as long as he gets what he wants.
Today Wrexham won the "Fans Final". 36,216 people turned out to watch the game, many of them not Wrexham or Southend fans, but going to make a point, fans who are genuine people, who behind rivalry care for every man's team, fans who have supported Wrexham throughout the season and want the club to survive.
Wrexham may only be a team until the summer, may be relegated to League Two or worse out of the Football league altogether, but for the 21,000 Wrexham fans who made it to Cardiff - 150 miles south of Wrexham - today could be the finest moment in the club's history. It might only be the LDV Vans Trophy Final, but to every Wrexham fan, it means more to them than anything else in the world, and would be a bitter-sweet end to the club, should they fail to come through this tempestous storm.
