    Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney took over Wrexham AFC and have big plans for the club at the Racecourse Ground!

    I remember going to Wrexham in the 90's with Walsall and some lads from the Wrexham fanzine were doing a bucket collection to help save the club. I gave them a couple of quid and we had a good football chat they were very grateful. Its incredible how times have changed. I hope those lads are still fans and enjoying the better times

    fantastic vid mate, been brought up as a wrexham fan by my dad and taid, and it's certainly not been easy watching in my lifespan, when my highlights of being a wrexham fan have been winning the fa trophy, whereas my dad has watched us play roma in the european cup in the 70s. rob and ryan have really been ffantastig since their take over and we really do look on the up. thanks for the video mate, was a great watch

    Top class video mate and class show of such a great stadium, pub looks amazing too! Their fans have always been so passionate and loud when they've come down to crabble, bringing a few hundred all that way everytime consistently is something special! Not to mention the 6-5 at theirs last season, what a game that was 😦

    Another great video, I was hoping you would cover Wrexham. They famously beat Arsenal in an FA cup tie I think it was the eighties. Been there many times as a Blackpool fan. The England/Wales gave it an extra bit of banter. I hope they get back soon as they really are a sleeping giant. I am pleased you had a good time and checked the pubs out. It’s hard work I know but someone has to do it🤣

    Remember when Preston and Wrexham got promoted in 1979 they had a great attacking team. They did us a great favour drawing 0-0 with Peterbourgh in the final game meaning we got promoted to the old second division. It gets better…. Blackpool we’re relegated .we stopped divisions. Thanks Wrexham 👍

    Great video! Hope you come back to Wrexham and allowed access to the ground. Even better at a game! Work hopefully to start at the end of the season on a new 5500 capacity Kop stand. Derelict for 2 decades, it was the last biggest Kop end to remain open with safety/seating regulations.

  • @D_isco_D_ancer
    @D_isco_D_ancer Рік тому +2

    For a wrexham fan and habitant the end goal is not I believe to get to the PL. The crave for their town and club success and respect obviously but also the well being of their town. That is why this takeover story is so good and why people in wrexham are so happy.

  • @robdavies6860
    @robdavies6860 Рік тому +2

    great little video thanks for visiting Wrecsam. Even though only a few miles away and a season ticket holder i really do need to visit the museum more. By the way , did Alun Jones say we were in the first division in 70s - maybe i misheard, as your graph showed in the 70s following promotion in 69-70 we were in Div3 with promotion to Div 2 (now Championship) in late 70s. Hopefully hopefully this IS our season to return to EFL, but we've had so many disappointments , until its confirmed we will be careful as others eg Notts Co are also looking good. Looking forward to watching your other videos , keep them coming .

    Interesting video, but they are still 2 leagues below us. I hope they do get back up soon, its our main cross border rivalry. Chester is too small a club to be Wrexham's proper rivals. We don't forget the graffiti from back in 2007 either. Hurry up back Walsall was a boring rival. Shrewsbury is waiting.
