I really don’t get the bitterness surrounding Wrexham. They are not funded by middle eastern or Russian money and they are not buying players for millions of pounds.
If their owners had bought us we would all be very happy.
This. I can’t see what else it could be except jealously. They’re everything you’d want in owners. Present, visible, transparent, honest and literally put their money where their mouths are.
Think people are being so over the top about the documentary, I’ve given it a watch after initially being against all it stands for and it’s completely changed my perspective on them and their whole motive
I've really enjoyed the first 2 series and learned a lot. I certainly didn't appreciate how much Parky swears!
I'll give the episode they secured promotion to the Championship a swerve though
I’m almost certain he plays up for the cameras. Obviously can’t speak for his private team talks etc but I’ve got no memory whatsoever of anything even close to his Wrexham rants on the touchline. That or he’s ‘developed’ as a manager of course.
Watched the first series , then thought it jumped the shark and just descended into all the usual football documentary clichés. Nowhere near as good as Sunderland Til I Die.
That’s interesting ( as I’m usually on board with your takes) . For monthis, I was firmly in the “i’d rather cut off my ( choose your organ)” camp and then in the autumn I nicked the first series and was hooked. I loved Sunderland too, but it’s gripping car crash TV because the club was. I think Wrexham does a better job overall of showing the casual viewer, espec the Yanks, how a club like that means something to the local community. And I like Rob and Ryan. Of course as film pros they know how to self-present, but the actual results don’t contradict the narrative at all. I finally bought into Rob especially when they showed him back at his favourite club in Philadelphia. I can’t even recall whether it was an NFL or a baseball club, but he had the same relationship with it as any of us on here have with Charlton. The worst thing for me is the opening sequence and song, where they took Sunderland’s template and fail, cringingly, IMO.
I think the first series was good but maybe I've just got a bit jaded by all these sports documentaries. It's better than very very slick PR managed within an inch of its like All Or Nothing series's on Amazon where you can really tell there's a lot of club control.
I don't doubt Rob and Ryan aren't good people with their hearts in the right place for one moment but it's one that's just not clicked for me.
You working for them or something ? Given what utter knobheads they were when we left their ground last season, what the hell would I want to watch a tv show about them ?
