I’m not sure how I’d feel if I were a Wrexham fan and seeing the ownership catering so heavily towards American bandwagon fans who a year ago couldn’t pinpoint Wales on a map.
If they’re playing 4 games in the states it’s probably unlikely they’ll do more than 1 friendly at home. If that ends up being Chesterfield or Shrewsbury or someone like that I’d be a bit miffed.

There’s already been a few fractures between the original Wrexham fans and the new American fan base online.

I think there’s a line the owners could cross where Wrexham get seen as a bit of America’s plaything.
It’s crazy how people’s opinions can differ so massively. Of course your opinion here is true to how you feel and I wouldn’t challenge that but I feel almost the complete opposite.

The way of the football world at the moment is that every club is someone’s plaything, but these 2 guys are doing it differently. I live in North America and it has emotionally connected people I know here to football in a way that hasn’t been done before. On one of my rare visits to Twitter last week I read that the Wrexham v Notts County game had 10 million mentions and at the same time Arsenal v Liverpool had 3 million. That’s nuts.

If they make Wrexham self sustaining I think they’ll have done a miraculous job and if attracting an audience of 10’s of millions helps with that then they deserve all the credit.

Tickets for the Man Utd game are in the $300 range!!! $300 FFS!!!!

I get that they might piss off a tiny proportion of Wrexham’s 10-15,000 current fan base, but they’re not putting Malaysian dragons on their badge amd telling Ben Foster to shoot…

I love what they’ve done and I’m more than a little jealous
