    I'm a 43 year old father of 3 from West Virginia. Never thought i would be keeping up with a football team from Wales. I have a Wrexham jacket and 2 jerseys. I don't even have American football jackets or jerseys. Lol. Watching Wrexham has been exciting and inspiring. I watch them every Saturday morning and Tuesday afternoon. Can't wait until next season. Congrats Phil. 👏

      Same, but 50 from Colorado, never cared about any sports before, and now I haven't missed a Wrexham game in 2 years (including 3 in person) and I've practically bought out the club shop... saying goodbye to my retirement savings one jersey at a time!

    You can see the respect the players have for Parky from the doc. In the last episode we were 4-0 down at Stockport at 1/2 time and back in the dressing room Boyle and Lee were arguing about one of the goals and there was quite a bit of unrest. Parky walks in and firmly says 'no more talking' and the dressing room immediately fell silent.

    Phil's Salty language when the team is not performing is hilarious! Yet totally acceptable in elite sports with all.rhe pressures and responsibilities. Totally fine in a Documentary on Wales, even in America and around the World! But I can't imagine it would even be allowed on a mainstream American Football programme! Welcome to Fcking Wrexham! 😂

      @11matt11 17 дней назад

      It will really depend on the quality they can find in the transfer market. Wrexham, though they pay, they don't overpay. They find quality people for the dressing room. If they aren't there for the price they need, they will shore up, and go for it the year after. But if there are 4-5 gems at a reasonable price like McClean, Evans, Fletcher, and Okonkwo, they'll go for it. The documentary may attract the Lee/Ollie type player to take less for more exposure. The only expectation in the Town/City next year is to have a winning record and not fighting relegation. Parky has the right expectations for a good two year leeway. If they battle at all for the playoff, Parky might be around for a long while.
