I’m sure there are many other people who come to this site looking for boxed eBook recommendations, however, I’m going to jump right in with that, see Welcome to Wrexham.
I like smart sports documentaries, but it took me a while to give it a try, probably because I had no emotions about Wrexham as a club.
At this point, the Elders Brigade will be after weighing junk stories with the Wrexham casuals in the 70s one day when they went to see Sid Scrott and the Reprobates and gave them some pogo. I’ve never realised Newcastle play them in my life.
In any case, in order to get the advantages of those who have been there, I will make a brief summary. Wrexham ended an 87-year run in the league when they were relegated from the fourth tier in 2008. Things went from bad to worse. Worse, the club almost disappeared due to the control of the owners of the standardized decrease department, but it was saved from oblivion by the fact that its supporters accepted it as true, and the supporters invested their own money to take over the club.
That kept them touring until 2020, when a high-profile twist occurred, when the club was bought through Ryan “Deadpool” Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, the star of Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
The fact that Hollywood owners were on board would lend gravity to the accompanying documentary, and the production of Welcome to Wrexham is exceptional, making it a simple watch that I traveled in less than a week.
However, the season that Wrexham had when the new owners landed helped things infinitely, they fantasized about a Wembley final and did not reach automatic promotion earlier (spoiler alert) wasting a crazy game in the play-offs. The timing of the season will, if anything, be more dramatic, as a war with Notts County saw both sides rack up over a hundred numbers in search of the only automatic promotion spot, a narrative so exciting that I sat down and watched them go head-to-head for a few weeks. back in a decisive outburst with a Hollywood ending.
I sense that there have been mixed reactions to this acquisition, as Reynolds and McElhenney’s intentions have been questioned and perhaps some negativity in the face of the exaggerated attention that famous homeowners have brought to the club. Honestly, I think the intentions are honest like youliterally watch the owners fall in love with the club in front of their eyes, and it will almost indeed have a positive effect on the English game in this annoying and difficult North American market to break through (ironic given that the team is in Wales, I know).
The key to this is discovered in the first episode, where McElhenney has a discussion with a British friend about the promotion/relegation formula absolutely alien to the American game. They tell him that, yes, if a club starts low and is well funded and well run, it can theoretically make it to the Premier League. I would like to think that in the context of this discussion, he was also told no, a chancellor cannot uproot such a club and move it to Las Vegas, however we never get into this specific fault line with gambling on the other side of the Atlantic.
McElhenney then set out to apply this theory in practice, with Reynolds incorporated because he needed “film money, not television money. “They show up on a zoom call with the astonished members of the fans accepting them as true and the rest is history. After the Notts County game, McElhenney posted the following tweet, which summed it up perfectly for me:
I think many Americans see “soccer” as a boring game, due to the low probability of scoring and the fact that they are not exposed to it naturally. Having experienced the ups and downs of investing in a club, the Wrexham co-owner was completely captivated by the appeal of the game, and his home crowd likely took it with him.
While the appeal of the game and the novelty of the promotion are highlighted in the documentary, the genuine appeal comes from the connection with the other people of Wrexham. Reynolds and McElhenney are all over town, strolling the game, visiting pub fans and showing off the goalkeepers of the old supporters’ club. The stories of the enthusiasts are explored and they become stars of the series and really show how much it means for them to look definitively long-term after being rescued from the abyss (familiar sound?).
That, to me, is the real draw of football in Britain, and a lesson can be learned about the fashion fan. Prominent homeowners fall in love not only with the football club, but also with the city. They literally kept their team afloat, as they are proud that their club represents their city and, through extension, a component of their own personality. We see generations of families who have never been Wrexham, extremely happy to meet their glamorous homeowners who have provided them with those exciting clients for the future. Now ask yourself, how would it have worked if all those other people had made the decision to go to Man Utd?
How would the city of Wrexham have come to have this exhibition at Disney if all its citizens had chosen to watch Arsenal or Chelsea on television and adopted them as their team, without any affection for the dominance they constitute but with the wonderful aim of continuing the websites and mocking someone else’s enthusiasts on behalf of this club?Every club in this country is a constitution of its network and that’s another thing Reynolds and McElhenney are disappointed about, as they grew up with the obsessions with money and strategy of American sports.
For clarity, I’m not going on to say that a team deserves to be followed only by those who were born there. Many displaced Geordies have youngsters in other parts of the world who are developing as United fans. My friend Simon, born and raised in Cambridge, has been black and white at the centre since he ventured north to Uni as a big fan of Shearer. I just think that help for a club deserves to go hand in hand with at least a sense of respect for the city in which the club was born. I wonder how many enthusiasts in South Liverpool would describe the city of Liverpool or the other people of Merseyside in derogatory terms.
Wrexham as a venue will receive a tourist boost thanks to the Disney series and the club’s upcoming growth, a debt established through the recent granting of the city’s freedom to owners.
I expect a similar expansion to occur at Tyneaspect as Newcastle United ascend as stars. With our own TV screen in the works, maybe we can attract people from other parts of the world who come here to see the city and the team (I’ve noticed that other smart people on the other side of the Atlantic embrace all things Geordie, not to mention our growing presence in the Middle East).
Perhaps what Welcome to Wrexham will bring to everyone is what a football club means to its other people in England (and Wales).
It’s a big promotion point for Newcastle United as we look to break the stranglehold of the same old suspects, on and off the pitch.
