So, we’ve left the National League. All long-standing Wrexham fans will be scratching their heads and asking where the miserable turn of events is. We’re used to things going horribly wrong, and it would be lovely to think that, under our current ownership, we’ve ditched our reputation for misfortune and heroic failure. This is the club, of course, which entered into the last 2 games … Continue reading Rob, Ryan and Phil Banished Wrexham’s Demons
The visit of Southend is the perfect moment to reflect on how fortunate we are. Their off-field problems are horribly familiar, and illustrate why we should get behind the fan-led review’s recommendation that an independent regulator for football should be appointed. Football clubs are important in far more wide-reaching ways than merely being a source of entertainment. They are a source of civic pride and … Continue reading Southend’s Plight Reminds Us To Be Grateful
Saturday will be a day of remarkable milestones for Phil Parkinson, who will be in charge of his 900th game as manager, and also his 750th league match. You might argue that, with the financial backing he’s received from Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds, Parkinson ought to be achieving these results, but that would be massively reductive. Parkinson inherited a complex, almost unique situation, and … Continue reading Phil Parkinson Lives Up To Expectations
“Welcome to Wrexham” was always going to be a game-changer. As I explained last week, that was always the intention: the exposure we receive should help us to expand exponentially as new fans are attracted to the club. After the US premiere of the show, the football club gained 6,000 followers on Twitter overnight. We still have top billing on the various streaming services which … Continue reading Review: “Welcome to Wrexham”
We’ve had so many remarkable things happen to us over the last couple of years, but even in the midst of stiff competition, the launch of a documentary by Disney about us is an occasion of note. It’s no coincidence that we’ve been launched stateside though: it’s all part of the owners’ carefully-conceived plan to take us on an incredible journey. The most common point … Continue reading Welcome to Wrexham: The Club With a Unique Plan

A local rivalry re-sparks today, albeit in a friendly game. But is there such a thing as a friendly when Wrexham play Macclesfield? This new iteration of Macclesfield has a lot in common with Wrexham. Okay, on the surface they have their own reality show, the highly entertaining “Robbie Savage: Making Macclesfield“. Yes, they have a well known figure at the helm. But the similarities … Continue reading Back to Macc
