Welcome to Wrexham

When I was a little girl I loved soccer and loved Wrexham. As time went on my tastes changed and soccer wasn't so important.

However, my interest was piqued when it was reported Wrexham AFC was bought by these two guys . However, my concern, on learning they were going to make it into a documentary, was it was going to be of interest to them only for that reason. I'm hoping I'm wrong.

So far I have loved this more than expected and I'm rooting for Wrexham again. There's a little too much effing and jeffing for my taste as I would have liked to seen this being suitable for all ages. But, Rob seems very emotionally invested while Ryan does strike me as being a bit more of the business side of things and as a monetary investment for him.

Still, the best part its it is not being patronising or mean to the Welsh people, seeing the Welsh language featured so prominently is particularly pleasing. And best of all, it feels real and not staged.

I wonder if Ryan and Rob have looked into seeing if they have Welsh links on a personal level. Rob, in particular, as there are many Welsh links in Pennsylvania. Bryn Mawr is a welsh name and many West Walians went over and the towns of Narberth and Haverford(west) are in both Pembrokeshire and Pennsylvania.

Anyway, looking forward to the rest of the series.

Maybe I'm a little biased because I live in wrexham (and I'm a season ticket holder) and i live about a mile from the stadium as the crow flies and can see it from my bedroom , but the show is great . 2020 was a strange year for all but when news broke about the takeover and it was all a bit surreal and people genuinely thought that someone taking the piss . However , here we are ....... my biggest fear was that we were going to be made to look like idiots and it would be a bit of a piss take . However, less than 12 months into the takeover is was more than obvious to us fans than these 2 were deadly serious and put their money where their mouth is so to speak and they were doing the things that any football fan would expect or wish for from new chairmen and the documentary was gonna reflect this . The show is brilliant to be fair . Its not all about Ryan and Rob as some might have expected but also about the characters in and around the club.

Similar to that feeling when your kid learns to ride a bike, or when they win their first egg and spoon race I was absolutely proud as punch of the way the club was presented to the world . This is a big deal for a club our size in our league. In fact I'd go as far as to say that the publicity of takeover and subsequent documentary would be the envy of pretty much every football club around world. Even if football is not your thing , the story that has been created here is absolutely first class and unlike other sports documentary, it's not a sneaky peek at just the team but it's the whole nine yards . I'm sure the rest of the season/series will have it's ups and downs and I know how it ends in real life but the story coming will amaze everyone I'm sure . We'll done fx well done Rob and Ryan well done wrexham fc . Our time has come.

Just wow. This series takes you into the lives of everyone involved and makes you actually experience what they go through. This is absolutely incredibly well done and cannot wait to see the team climb higher and higher up the pyramid.

Ryan and Rob have done an amazing job building this doc-series and do not let us down. The score is perfect, the special effects are amazing, almost makes you wonder if the scenes were reshot. If you are a Ted Lasso fan, this will blow your mind.

If you are an emotion-roller-coaster junkie, I do suggest you wait for the entire season to be released, as the cliffhanger will kill you.

Well done boys, now go get 'em!

This is a rare show. Interesting, funny, moving, authentic and above all heartfelt. It may surprise people to know this is much less about Reynolds and McElhenney and more about a community, a forgotten part of the UK, local characters and a football (soccer) set-up that is immensely likeable (when compared with the grossed-out British Premier League). That is not to say that Ryan Reynolds' renowned wit doesn't pepper the series, but it's not the main course.

This could so easily have been a goofed-up Disney show full of scripted laughs, but it's far from it. Instead we see the Hollywood stars build a genuine empathy and passion that infects an entire town. The real stars are in Wales and they won't have previously have an IMBD back history. You should watch it.

This was actually an emotional roller coaster from start to finish. I really enjoyed all 18 episodes.

Experiencing the high and lows of the Wrexham football club was quite the journey.

My goodness you Wrexham supporters know how to chant! I'm from Australia and aussies can't and have never been able to chant like that!

I'm now following Wales in the World Cup also!

You have to take your hat's off to the one and only Ryan Reynolds & Rob McElhenney..2 amazing human beings with hearts of gold!

I must admit i shed a few tears watching this, i was overwhelmed by some of the scenes, i can't describe them for then this review would contain spoilers.

Do yourself a favour, watch this doco and give the Wrexham FC some love!

Wrexham! Wrexham! Wrexham! Wrexham!
