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

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.
Will be on disney plus very soon i think
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.
what is the racecourse capacity now then ? ? ?
always remember them 2 games in the early 90's ( 93 ? ? within a few days of each other, league and welsh cup ) the Saturday we took loads, we went back up midweek and not so many, but a great few days of football that was
York City manager states Wrexham are paying a player £6,000 per week

I remember one of those Wrexham games. There were loads of our guys in white full body overalls.
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
two episodes out
Any good?
I enjoyed it
Loads of interest before release and now all eyes are on fecking rangers and boring managers. I wish we had those two behind us instead of Tan the best disappearing man.
It is a good time to be a Wrexham fan and football is all about ‘now’, not last season or ‘he’s not all that clever at the moment but he’s one for the future’. I do hope it works out well for them and they make the difficult step up (its a bugger of a league to get out of) but if they do it, it’ll be interesting to see the owner’s next move.
I'm intrigued by it. Ryan Reynolds comes across as a decent bloke to be fair.
I don't think these guys are just in it to take the piss.
I do get the impression from the clips I've seen that Reynolds does take the whole thing pretty seriously and is at least somewhat emotionally invested.
I'm intrigued to see how the next few years pan out for Wrexham. I'm sure they'll openly admit that they have no clue about running a football club. Hopefully they surround themselves with the right people and not any of the many leeches out there.
Who knows, Wrexham might be a future fixture. It's more interesting than zooport.
They're nowhere near wealthy enough for a Championship team with Premier League aspirations. I have no fondness in particular for Wrexham. However, I certainly like them more than Swansea or Newport. I don't see this as being a huge, Hollywood-style success story. But I think Wrexham will do alright out of it.,
are there any welsh people in Wrexham ?
I never get the love in with Wrexham or any other club because they are Welsh.
In Wrexhams case they have just become a Man City type club albeit on a much smaller scale I hope it all crashes and burns
Gog Divs.
The documentary series is clearly integral to why they took the club on.
They have obviously sold the streaming company (I forget which one) the idea of following a club from the bottom to the top.
Probably becoming people's social media sort of team in the process. An advertisement dream.
They probably don't fully appreciate how unpredictable the game can be though, and the higher they rise the less their financial impact will have.
Be interesting to see how it progresses. Without the doc series and the current level of media attention I don't see what's in it for them.
Whilst there though I do get the impression they will do things right and it's a million times better for their fans to have something exciting going on.
A lot of future profit from their investment if they get it right.
If they could get Wrexham up the league's, it attracts further investors from elsewhere, that's no doubt the aim.
It's a clever move if they can pull it off.
They now own the club and the ground, it opens up development opportunities and could ultimately go a long way if they can get the additional investment.
What they've spent a few million on, could be worth a hundred million in years to come.
I was talking to a lass I know from Pittsburgh in my local last night.
She had no idea about football but she was getting up early this morning to watch the Wrexham game.
