Lots of talk of the impact of the programme on attendances. I don’t have Disney+ so haven’t seen it and wondered if I’m the norm or the outliner?

I watched 2 seasons but found it got a bit samey, so I gave up on it.2
-
I watched the first season, saw half of the second, but thought it got a bit too silly at times
Can we have another poll asking who has seen Deadpool vs Wolverine?

Have watched all of it. It’s getting a bit repetitive now. Essentially it’s Parky using the word “f….g” twelve times in every sentence and the owners being silly. I’m persevering because there will come a time when the relentless progress comes to a halt and how they react will be interesting.1

I have watched it all and looking forward to season 4. For balance I have never watched any other program like this ie Sunderland till I die etc2

Never seen it, no interest at all6

I've never watched it but that's only because I know I'll be filled with jealousy.
I only enjoyed Sunderland til I die because of how much despair there was on show.7 -

So glad I’m not alone in this. I explained this point of view to my US colleagues and pretty sure their view of me dimmed a bit.Croydon said:I've never watched it but that's only because I know I'll be filled with jealousy.

Watched the first series then thought it fell into the same traps as Drive To Survive, All Or Nothing etc . Rob and Ryan do come across as genuinely good people though besides all the Hollywood glamour.4

Not watched it at all because I don’t have the right sub and dont want one. On the other hand I love “Sunderland”, and quite a few non-Charlton fans have thanked me for tipping them off about it. There are subtle sub-texts coming from the city itself and the importance of the club to the people who live there. I’ve got nothing against Wrexham as a club or place (never been) but I don’t think it deserves the attention just because some random Americans pitch up there.0

Funny I watched first episode on Friday night as it was on TV.
What an insight into foreign owners who know nothing about English football.

I have never seen any of it. We have Disney but the only football thing I have ever watched is Sunderland Till I Die, which says a lot about my sadistic personality I suppose.0
-
never seen it but obviously aware of it
also never watched the Sunderland, Man City,Burnley or anyone else’s series.Not even watched Ted Lasso
Murphys Mob was about my limit1 -
Never seen it, but as I was surprised and puzzled by the build up and attendance for yesterday's game I might watch a couple to see what all the fuss is about2

Not seen it…..why would I.0

Not watched it, don't intend too.
I don't mind Reynolds and Mcelhenney from what they've stared in but I don't need to watch a documentary about a Welsh football club to see them playing toned down roles of Deadpool and Mac.
Don't have any hate for the club and what they've achieved and nor does their global twitter fan base bother me, (good for a laugh though) it's the media love in, The pair of them don't actually go to that many games (according to the internet) but you wouldn't believe it. From what I understand they're not hands on or cringey and let the football people do football things.
It's just a well run club that has built on early success that happens to be owned by a Hollywood a lister and Rob McElhenney.1 -

Not watched it, and I have no idea why non Wrexham fans would want to watch it, but there again I am an old miserable old git.1

Murphys Mob was peak football TV for me, nothing else will ever come close so even if we (god forbid) did one, I wouldn’t watch it.0 -
Started watching it, but got bored in second series.

Watched most of it on my commute before binging on Family Guy. Thought it was excellent and felt nothing but admiration for Reynolds and McElhenney and their authenticity and huge amounts of jealousy (yes in an ideal world we'd be owned by lifelong die hard local boys done good- but that ship has well and truly sailed for now and in a world of chancers and wrong uns Wrexham have struck gold in the intentions stakes).
Was pleased for them as a town as it's lifted them and given them a boost when I don't expect it's the most prosperous of places.
The pub landlord was chatting to my boy as we got off train last night and whilst the fawning over their visit was gut wrenchingly cringeworthy all their fans on the trains etc seemed decent normal people many of whom whilst grateful for the way the Hollywood boys have lifted them out of the doldrums do have a feel of where were you when we were shit about the sudden bandwagon jumpers.
I'll probably feel like that if the planets aligned and we ever jumped up the leagues (lolz) and suddenly saw the Valley filled like yesterday for league fixtures I'd be a bit irked with the glory hunting stay aways. However after years of this malaise and turgid, uninspiring Saturdays I'm sure I'd suck it up for a regularly full buoyant Valley. No half n half scarves though. Never half n half scarves.
One thing it did better than the Sunderland Netflix was it really gave an insight into the players' lives and how they are just young men facing the same (and often worse) issues as 'normal people'....miscarriages, potential terminal illness of spouses, autistic children etc and all of the horrific challenges that come with it.
Blokes like Paul Mullin come across in it as nothing short of remarkable men and whilst I was hoping everything he and Palmer touched yesterday turned to shit I couldn't help but have huge respect for Mullin having got a real insight into him as a man through the programme.
Fuck their right back that took out Tyreece though....he got a proper angry balding middle aged man telling what for.17 -
I have.
Parky comes across as less likeable than I remember!
My favourite bit was when they described Ben Foster as like the Michael Jordan or Tom Brady of football!
It's decent though - they do well mixing the club stuff with the community stuff.
Didn't enjoy it as much as Sunderland till I Die though, not sure if that says something about me and schadenfreude.0 -
Have watched it all with my wife, who has absolutely no interest in football and we have enjoyed it equally.
I'm really pleased for the fans and the town of Wrexham, both of which have really gone through it in the last 20 years.
The American owners come across really well and appear to want to do something special for the community, not just the club.2 -
Had enough of anything containing the word "Wrexham" or the associated A/B list actor dudes thanks...🤦♂️1

Rather stick pins in my eyes1
