🎬⚽ Hollywood Touch Down in Wrexham! 🎬⚽
It’s been a little over five epic years since the dynamic duo, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, took over Wrexham AFC, and the results are nothing short of a blockbuster! From non-league heartaches to Championship dreams, Wrexham’s transformation under their leadership has been awe-inspiring. Here’s a festive season report card on their “hard promises”:
1️⃣ **Football Dreams Come True**: Under manager Phil Parkinson, Wrexham stormed up the leagues, grabbing three straight promotions. Talk about a comeback story! 🌟👏 With transfers that rival Harrods’ shopping lists, including biggies like Nathan Broadhead, the team’s ambition matches its achievements. Grade: A
2️⃣ **Revamping the Racecourse**: The iconic Racecourse Ground is getting a much-needed facelift. With plans to expand the Kop stand from 5,500 to a whopping 7,750 seats, progress is accelerating despite some initial bumps. While we haven’t seen Sir Tom Jones yet, Kings of Leon rocked the grounds last year! Grade: B
3️⃣ **Training on the Horizon**: Efforts to establish a permanent training facility are ongoing. While the final site is still in the works, Colliers Park serves as the current training hub. The pressure is on to expedite these plans to lure top talent. Grade: C
4️⃣ **Keeping Traditions Alive**: Respecting Wrexham’s rich history, Reynolds and Rob have kept club traditions intact, including honouring the Gresford Colliery disaster. There’s no rebranding drama here, just commitment to community and history. Grade: A
5️⃣ **A Fan-First Approach**: An advisory board now stands to amplify supporter voices, but operational kinks remain to be smoothed out. Meanwhile, the rapid growth in staff ensures Wrexham stays on track with its global ambitions. Grade: C
6️⃣ **Going Green**: A tricky promise to keep, especially with frequent away-game flights. Sustainability remains a work in progress but is on the radar. Grade: D
With the world watching via ‘Welcome to Wrexham’, it’s evident the club is a rising star in the football galaxy. As new investors resonate with the Premier League vision, Wrexham’s journey promises to be as thrilling as any Hollywood saga! 🌍🔥
As we look forward, the goal remains: leave Wrexham AFC better than it was found. Onwards and upwards! 🐉 #WrexhamAFC #WelcomeToWrexham #FootballJourney
