Welcome to Wrexham

Is this on TV over there? I've seen posters at bus stops in NYC and there's an ad on a national TV network. Complete with a bloke with a gog accent

Re: Welcome to Wrexham

Be interesting to see who gets the final say on what makes the cut. These football documentaries are okay but heavily edited to make certain people into the good guys. (Spurs All or Nothing was painfully obvious at times).
Sunderland Til I Die on the other hand was pretty unbiased and made everyone look incompetent and showed the club as a train wreck.

Off topic but I’ve seen Wrexham have submitted plans for a new (very ugly imo) stand and will take capacity to just over 16000. If they manage to get promoted to League 2 I can see it only taking a few years to reach League 1 with their financial advantage. Half the teams get less than 5000 crowds and Wrexham would definitely be close to selling out most games.

Sunderland Til I Die is the best one by far, the others are almost all a waste of time

Selling out most games in a 16k stadium? I doubt that, they've rarely troubled 10k. They're a big club for non-league but the last time they were in the 3rd tier they weren't even getting 5k

Not selling out but close to, 13k/14k average in League 2 I'd guess. They averaged 9k last season and sold out their season tickets this season with ease. Home tickets were sold out apparently for their first home game this season. With promotion I could see their attendances going up by 3 or 4 thousand. The hype around the club is unreal at the moment.

I don't think you can use historical crowds to base an estimate off how they'll do in the future. Everything about the club has changed since the Hollywood duo came in.

Re: Welcome to Wrexham

Never liked Wrexham as we had the windows of our minibus smashed up there which meant a long cold trip home and that lager of theirs was horrible.

Putting that to one side I wonder what happens when the cameras have gone and two investors, with no real connection to the town, realise that they have a money pit on their hands.

I appreciate that they are both making the right noises and I have no inside knowledge to suggest that they are nothing but true to their word but how many times have new owners proved to not be as enthusiastic as was first portrayed?

To my cynical mind it has all the hallmarks of careful of what you wish for.

people have said it just looks like the idea of a netflix TV series or 2 right from the start

if they put things in place that are sustainable, when they leave wrexham could have a decent setup and be back in the league, of course the next step to push on takes mega money and they will not be blowing that, but I guess to wrexham fans being back In the league and breaking even will be a massive improvement on where they were

They said themselves they had the rights to the documentary series sold before they even decided what club they were buying.
