Just wanted to comment on this and say it's happened again, a year later! Two promotions in as many years. What a moment this meeting was for the future of Wrexham AFC

They have huge public profiles and can attract fans from all corners of the earth. Not many people can do that.

@@mixodorians12 many now will jump on the band bandwagon and adopt teams like Wrexham.

@@skevimavride9584 sounds like it could be big for the players and fans

It took two complete outsiders to look at what it could be, unjaundiced by bad experiences of football. They have done things the right way.

There are probabaly hundreds of clubs like this. Wrexham got lucky.

I grew up in Kentucky in a small town called Middlesborough. This was obviously named after Middlesbrough, England. (The spelling difference comes from a clerk who forgot an "o" when the English town applied for status as a municipal "Borough" in 1853. From my understanding both towns have the same pronunciation when spoken.) I tried to get into English League Football and used the city my city was named after as an "in" and so rooted for Middlesbrough but, at the time, they were terrible. So I dropped it pretty quick. Now I have a new team to root for!

Completely agree. Wrexham Football club just doesn’t represent the Town and surrounding area, But north Wales as a whole. These two have clearly seen a hidden gem and realise what a success it could be.

Oh indeed they are: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aM1joJyhmJvHdKM.html

Replying to this comment in 2023.... they did market wales, and now i think there are now tourist visiting wales because they say the docu and also to watch the game live. The city is now bustling with business and tourist.

@@alynwillams4297 I agree. I'm English but my family came from Llangernyw so I spent my childhood summers in N Wales. I am 100% in on the whole Wrexham story. I'm not even a football fan, and my home town doesn't have a team, but I have adopted Wrexham and finally have a reason to care about the results on match day.

How do you think they did? I can’t find a jersey anywhere seems like the place is heaving. To use a UK term lol.

glory hunter, good goodwell

lmao glory hunter I mean comment like hunter, much love!

Welcome to the life of a Wrexham fan . It'll age you massively but you'll get so much back

Yeah, same here. I’m all in for Wrexham now

Dying to get my hands on some Wrexham merch ngl

Oh def Wrexham is gonna get massive US fan support, and these 2 guys are not doing it for a bit joke, they are all in on it, I do not even care for soccer much, but Im gonna watch em now.

Welcome to the mighty Wrexham 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Ironically Russell Crowe's grand father was born in Wrexham

@Brett Allpress Then what did?

@@Wrecsam1864 Maybe his grandfather was a criminal from Wexham exiled to New Zealand

Well well well you must be grinning from ear to ear right now 😂

@@zaru10 is this the magical miracle comment section?…. I also love these guys and wish we had owners who were this passionate and open (MUFC supporter) Please help

@@aaronlawrence3274 as an mufc fan I have never been envious of oil money before 😂

@@aaronlawrence3274 Hope you get new owners at Maidstone soon.

Things are quite alright now mate, Toon Toon😂😁

I think they already showed that they are genuine

Turned out pretty good!

Bookmarked.

Jersey now!

not really. They literally just picked a struggling club out a hat and thought they could turn it into a tv show.

​@@steviegbcool no they picked the 3rd oldest team on purpose, put their own money and time into it, helped promote the team and town globally and helped get them promoted. You're not doing yourself any favours by being as cynical as you are. These boys were as cashed up as they'd ever need to be before this started, this is clearly something they love.

@@michaelhall5429 they don't even know the rules 😂

@@steviegbcool you don't know how to make a movie but I bet you've watched and enjoyed them.

@@michaelhall5429 if they watched and enjoyed football they would know the rules. They wouldn't of done this if it wasmt for the multi million dollar deal for the docushow.

Be nice to have a Welsh derby lol 😂 sorry couldn't resist . Thanks for your comment 🙂

As much as that would be great, I feel like it would just become a gag at that point

I don't see many hateful comments to be honest, just plenty of enthusiasm and occasional flashes of 'I wish it was us' from other Clubs fans.

Why not though. Celtic and Rangers are global Scottish teams. There has to be a global Welsh, for expats and those of Welsh descent around the world to get behind. If Swansea and Cardiff won't do it then why not Wrexham

Well if his Great Great Grandfather was from the North East then I understand why he said that. Makems and Geordies are just Scotsmen with their heads kick in Afterall 😂

What’s wrong with being a coal miner in two different places? He could’ve worked in a coal mine in England and another one in Scotland….

Yeah a typically American geographical boob

Quality idea mate

Does that mean Wrexham, Newport, Cardiff and Swansea can finally leave the English football league? Its long overdue (by 100 years).

The problem is that unlike RFU or RFC, FIFA doesn't support the international "domestic" league.

Up until this year due to coronavurus. The scottish challage cup(scottish version of JPT) had 2 teams from ireland, North of Ireland, Wales and english national league. As Wrexham actually played rangers U-21s a few year back in the cup

thats a great idea

yes but who called it soccer first?

i mean ryan has a ridiculous amount of fans i think at the start alot of people might take interest

I'm a Wrexham fan living in Blackpool. It would be amazing to see how many fans we could get to Bloomfield rd ,plus it's walking distance from my house lol 😂

This certainly aged well! lol

​@@YankeeGeordieright? They've gained fans all over the world while maintaining their character and heritage which is tough to do. Everybody wants to cheer for Wrexham, but I think most of us understand that they belong to that community in a way that it never will to us new fans and that that needs to be respected.

​@@YankeeGeordie😂

They love the club, it’s bout financial gain or making a quick pound (buck). Just love for a club… us Wrexham fans have had some seriously dark days!

It's for mythic quest

I dont think they have any control over whether Wrexham gets City status. They're just here to make Wrexham AFC succesful.

@@JG-ib7xk As a dumb American, I wish I knew more about the progression of the leagues. I watch F1 and I can't even understand the leagues in Indycar. LOL.

@@mcseforsale no worries man. I know its easy (and sensible) to have concerns when people who have no connection to a place or proper understanding of the sport swoop in a buy a historic football club. I think so far they've shown that they really do care about the club and the local community, and have gone out of their way to make sure the fans are included, and have made changes to make it easier for disabled fans to go and watch matches etc. So hopefully they can carry on in this way amd make sure they don't make it difficult for the hardcore fans to keep supporting the team. And an easy way to think about the league is just like one huge list of teams, from top to bottom. Every 20 (or so) teams you go down the list you cut the list, and those 20 teams are against each other for that season. You go down the list chopping every 20 teams. Then they play the season, and the top two (or three) teams from each league move up the list to the next group of 20, and the bottom two (or three) move down to the group of 20 below. The higher up the list you are, the more money you get from TV deals etc. So theoretically, if Wrexham did exceptionally well, and finished in the top 2 every year, they could get to the Premier League (the top of the list of teams) in 4 years, going up a league each time until they're at the top league (they're currently in the 5th league down).

Trust me, property prices will go up. It’s sad. They say it’s “progress” and I I suppose it is…it’s definitely change.

​@inshallamiami big picture. You're a downer. R&R would even see this. The town will see this. AND perhaps people there will earn higher wages. Not impressed with your DA Award. Learn about R&Rs big picture and it will to achieve increased employment & wages. You really haven't READ or HEARD what has been put out there.

It was Sunderland till I die that influenced rob into buying the club

Came here to look for Chester. That rivalry tickles me. Chester was mentioned in early statements.

Hugh Jackman buys us!!! Lol

5 years

Update on this, 2 yrs, and i think they are doing a hell of a job now. Cant wait for the 5 yrs, 10 yrs

Stupid comment

Football… WAF(football)C! Up the town

As an American it just feels really unnatural to say it. It’s seen as pretentious to call it football.

@@samlane8674 Ditto every time we hear an American call it soccer.

@@johnniejay yeah get that. Just don’t understand the freak out when an American calls it soccer when we got the name from y’all.

@@samlane8674 No-one in England (or Britain) has called it 'soccer' for a century, long before Americans even toyed with the idea of playing the game or forming their own domestic league. Just like your insistence on using Fahrenheit when the rest of the world uses Celsius, its a classic example of Americans wanting to be different with no obvious utility.

@@johnniejay Well we already got a sport called football, as mad as that makes you guys. So why does it matter? Who does this actually effect?

He’ll probably buy a home there and fly over every so often, but of course you’re joking

Am I?

Why would he have to do that?

The year is 2023 and i heard he just bought a 1.5m house near wrexham

WOW great prediction , because a year later in 2023 RR just bought a house just outside Wrexham

Or he said Northern England was in Scotland !! None of which will bother the Welsh, may even win him some friends there.

@@Twirlyhead Northern England and Scotland he said

@@hamzahasan3361 We know what he said.

@@Twirlyhead OK

At least they recognised it in the trailer

Wrexham women team fill the stadium on regular basis. This is not WNBA.

@Shahrul Aiman you may notice i said women's football and did not single out wrexham? The league will be a blckhole and no money will be made, only lost. That is fact. Accept it or don't. IDC.

Formula 1 is a blackhole for money as well. Doesn't mean people don't care about or enjoy it. Plus it's not your money so you don't need to worry about it.
