They come across as clueless on football

Re: Welcome to Wrexham
Very interesting, and you can see the parallels with Sunderland Til I Die, which I believe Rob Mcelhenney watched and took influence from when deciding to buy a club.

Up to episode 8; very enjoyable watch. Funny to see how they were welcomed by the home fans at Maidenhead

Re: Welcome to Wrexham
As a fan of both of the owners I thought that episode 7 was superb. It will be a massive hit with the American audience too which is the aim of the show.
What a fantastic job they are doing there BTW.

Making a laughing stock out of a very old traditional football club.
Sad really.

Re: Welcome to Wrexham
They do seem a bit clueless about football in general by their own admission but they seem pretty genuine. The American one has a working class background and must see the parallelsQuickenthetempo wrote: ↑Fri Sep 16, 2022 6:02 pmMaking a laughing stock out of a very old traditional football club.

Re: Welcome to Wrexham
Latest HOOLIGAN episode was an eye opener
Local thug got banned and meant his girlfriend didnt get her job she worked hard for in the police
Sad thing is its wont change. It will get worse at every club

Re: Welcome to Wrexham
Quite a lot of trouble at the Oldham Vs Wrexham game this weekend.
11 arrested on the day with a lot more expected.

Quick look on book face shows the lad being interviewed that was banned not even with the girl whos career he ruined anyway now and with another lassQuickenthetempo wrote: ↑Mon Oct 03, 2022 11:31 pmQuite a lot of trouble at the Oldham Vs Wrexham game this weekend.

He was about 5 stone wet through too so not sure what trouble he could actually cause

Re: Welcome to Wrexham
Living in Wrexham the documentary has been all positive until episode 10 about hooliganism. Why Disney+ felt the need to open Pandora's box I'll never know. Whether it was RR and RMc's choice, don't know but they are producers so they'll have had a say? They might have wanted to send a message but for now it seems to have backfired. The hilarious thing would be if the lad from the show got arrested for hooliganism by his ex, who will hopefully now be able to join the police and have the fantastic career she clearly wants.
On a side note, my girlfriend's step-dad (Welsh and a lovely bloke) was called the usual stuff by locals leaving the game out of car windows and there was a heightened police presence due to fans down back streets again etc.
Why do people genuinely use football to pick a scrap? Away games are bad enough for people coming to just goad away supporters after one too many rather than actually watching the game. Really do not understand it.

Re: Welcome to Wrexham
Actually thought the hooligan episode was pretty good
They did highlight that the lad couldn't watch his team play because he was a hooligan, and that is the message that needs to be got across
Like many will say, its not something I've ever understood, and living in a (to put it mildly!) a very non-Burnley supporting area for most of my life I got a lot of s**t and threats at stations and in the town for being a Burnley fan
Not the case now thankfully, partly because its no longer considered normal, and partly because we are a lot better now and there are far more Burnley fans up here than they were when I was a kid

Re: Welcome to Wrexham
Clearly aimed at a wider audience by the yanks to show the dark side of english football as im sure the US will see news of trouble including the weekends 11 arrests due to the owners stature and affliliationcheshireclaret11 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 04, 2022 11:43 amLiving in Wrexham the documentary has been all positive until episode 10 about hooliganism.

It also highlighted that he was still getting a season ticket each year so that he would still have his seat with his mates when his ban was up.Lancasterclaret wrote: ↑Tue Oct 04, 2022 11:48 amActually thought the hooligan episode was pretty good

Not sure how it works for any of our banned "fans", but you'd like to think that they wouldn't be able to purchase a ST during that time, and when that time is up, any loyalty points they had reset to 0
Re: Welcome to Wrexham
Few bans have been dished out last night after the blackpool home game..

Yes I noticed this and found it interesting.
Really enjoying the whole series and probably only watched it as I'm a big Sunny fan.
They may not be experts on football (like all American owners) but they seem really genuine and keen to learn.

Re: Welcome to Wrexham
Good point, but I still think the key take away was that if you misbehave at football matches, you can't go and watch them playwilks_bfc wrote: ↑Tue Oct 04, 2022 12:56 pmIt also highlighted that he was still getting a season ticket each year so that he would still have his seat with his mates when his ban was up.
