Would not shock me if they give a push for a 3rd promotion next or the following season. I think they will get to the Championship relatively quickly. The next step to Premier League is pretty huge though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're basically fully geared up to be a Championship side; and then it becomes more of a challenge to be top half etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will only rise in the next few years with larger sponsorships and documentaries etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nor-Cal Villan Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Just watched the first two new episodes. Had forgotten just how often Phil Parkinson drops F bombs (sorry, don’t know if there are profanity prohibitions here) No one, not even Oliver Reed, could survive a drinking game in which a shot is consumed every time he says f#ck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 The new series is hilarous. The latest episode with the sing along at the start i was cracking up. Blose are going to get their biggest ever tv exposure next season when they will be on documentary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should piss a lot of people off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely that’s the aim for all clubs, especially a club owned by celebrities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Spoiler Love how they managed to incorporate deadpool in the series Wiuldnt suprise me if wrexham featured in one of reynolds films or this one. That would really get wrexham some real exposure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rds1983 Posted May 27 VT Supporter Share Posted May 27 I'm surprised people are still watching. Season one had novelty value but was very light on actual football compared to other documentaries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about people's stories and how a football club is intertwined with its location. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That novelty quickly wore off and there wasn't enough there to hold interest for me. If you like it though then great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Dog Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 I started it after reading about it in this thread. A season and a half in, it's decent, nothing special. It seems to skirt around being an advert for Ryan & Rob and then switching to the club and the location. I've enjoyed it but I'm still not entirely sure what the brief was at the start. Every episode just feels a little bit confused compared to the last. And, as a sceptic, and I hope I'm wrong, I can't really see what the end game will be for anyone involved, and that usually ends in tears. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know what happened - I'm not gonna get excited about results that happened 12 months ago. Some documentaries which rely too heavily on football miss the point. It's like watching yesterday's weather forecast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you watch the last episode they do a tribute for a wrexham fan that is 100 years old. Its far bettee than the spurs arsenal and city documentaries in my opinion. Reynolds and his partner really do now how to make a great documentary and help their local community 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were finally mentioned in the last season, just saying they beat us 3-0. I can kind of see why more focus was put on Chelsea, Man City, etc in actual "game footage" in that show. Nobody gives a damn about Wrexham's results against Birmingham City for a storytelling perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
