If you are a wrexham folk. You deserve every bit of this. The owners grew their love of the game throughout the seasons and now they really want to make sure that the team and the community are set up for success long before after they are gone. Im really happy that Ryan Reynolds became a passionate man for the game after owning the team.

Sky Sports is owned by Sky Group which is owned by Comcast. Comcast is the largest tv provider in the U.S. with over 14M subscribers. They broadcast Premier Leagues matches in the U.S.. Comcast is the largest content provider in the U.S. with NBC, Universal Studios, Telemundo (Spanish speaking network), CNBC (business tv) and many more. Over 50% of the channel lineup here in the states regardless of tv package carrier (Telco, Cable, Satellite, Internet) is Comcast content. They will have no problem bring Wrexham and EFL to the masses.

Wrexham's unusual high profile could make them an attractive club to on loan Premiership players, youngsters trying to make a name for themselves. Parkinson explained why they had to let go of 8 senior players - league rules mean the first team squad is 22 players, excluding keepers and under 21s, iirc. They had no choice but to cull older players to make way for, let's face it, much higher tier players.

I live in Costa Rica, Central America, and I have an original Wrexham shirt, the black one. I loved that shirt when I saw it in season 2 of "Welcome to Wrexham". It turns out that my youngest daughter traveled to London at the beginning of the year, and to Edinburgh, so, as she knows that I am a Wrexham fan, she arranged for a person from Wales to buy my shirt, and had it delivered to Edinburgh. Obviously, I wore my shirt on the day of promotion to League 1.

the iFollow subscription fee for outside the UK isn't exactly small. It's about $32 US per month. In contrast that's double the price of MLS, which is $15 per month on Apple TV. Although if you're a season ticket holder for any MLS team you get MLS Apple pass for free. I would also add that Wrexham team merch is a bargain in the USA, where a primary team jersey costs about $48. Compare that to an MLS team jersey at $194. Or an official Tottenham jersey in the USA for $95. Do Americans really pay nearly $200 (£153) for MLS gear? Yes they do, because they're bonkers. Wrexham could likely increase the cost of their merchandise outside the UK and make substantially more money.

Not sure what amounts to a "small fee" in the UK but my sub to iFollow was $188. And you are only allowed to watch Wrexham. Closest thing to that price here in the states is the NFL package at +$200 and you get a lot more content for that price. I don't know what iFollow plans to do this year but, too rich for my blood. I'll support Wrexham in other ways. 👀🤣

As an American who has grown up with this (season ticket holder to NY Giants for years) it is interesting to hear it described for a foreign audience. Elway and Bo were special cases because the were also pro-quality baseball prospects, so they could opt out entirely. More recently, Eli Manning forced the Chargers to trade him on draft day without that kind of leverage.

I think a part that a lot of people are not talking about is the exposure that wrexham get can attract players that they cant afford ideally. But with all the attention there will surely be players willing to take a pay cut to play for wrexham. Especially when they eventually go to the championship. It's a win-win for both parties. More eyes for said player to build their brand and potential big earnings for wrexham in transfers if they overperform.
@steelsheen3 ай бұрын
yeah, and its not even really a pay cut per se, because the Wrexham contract being offered to players are over a longer period, like 2-3 years. thats a big deal to players who has to deal with yearly / seasonal contracts as a norm, so not only are they being offered to play for a popular team (even if they are in a lower League), but they also get job stability thats longer than a year. also if the player is smart (which Wrexham players all seem to be luckily enough) , if he has Tier 1 or 2 experience and made to compete with teams Tier 3 and below while in Wrexham, then thats relatively easier to win games. so basically the package is: job stability, more opportunity for branding exposure, and easier games to win. plus the icing on the cake being that the FC Owners are hilarious and genuine good guys, and your team mates and team staff are not d!cks (to quote Ollie).
