The whole season was spectacular. I didn't care one bit about soccer(football)one bit here in America. But by the end of the season I was obsessed with the team and everything surrounding Wrexham.

[@christopherpeter978]

​ I see no problem here. As It is getting more people into lower league football which is fantastic for the sport and the pyramid

[@NickPR87]

As a super casual football fan I watched it and it is very well done. They do a great job of explaining all the rules and terms used in the game and they're highlighting the organization itself, the players and the fans.

[@Mauther]

One of the many great and funny things about the Wrexham takeover is their sponsor Ifor Williams. Wrexham's existing sponsor was a Welsh farm trailer manufacturer called Ifor Williams. As part of their takeover, Reynolds and McElhenney made some commercials for Ifor Williams. So this modest sized trailer company has Deadpool making commercials for them, which would have cost them millions on the market.

[@Ozefan2580]

That is awesome. 😊

[@thezachari]

American here who's loved football for decades and a huge fan of Always Sunny, and I loved Welcome to Wrexham. I've been following the club weekly since the acquisition so I knew the outcomes of the matches, but the series was really really well done. Made me like those two dudes even more than I did before, and I bought a Wrexham shirt this season to support because of the series.

[@johanna0131]

I love that you guys watched this. “Welcome it Wrexam” is a great documentary. We’re obsessed with it in our house. Now my husband is getting up at 4 in the morning so he can listen to the games. The doc is not only about the new owners and the game, it introduces you to the players and fans around the city. It’s so uplifting and fun! My husband even ordered an official jersey. I asked him to get me one, but they were completely sold out by then!

[@joshuaverkerk4532]

It’s a really great show. I’m a US fan of football and didn’t know what to expect with the show, but I found it fascinating and emotional.

[@trevor8267]

I wasnt much of a fan of football (soccer), but watching this show got me interested. Then I started playing FIFA and now Im excited for the new MLS team we are getting here in St Louis, Missouri next year.

[@Pappa_66]

The funny thing is, that now the Wrexham AFC is the most popular club in the US. The show is great and the whole season was amazing!! We watched every game here in Finland, so that should tell you something about the Worldwide popularity and excitement.

This documentary has completely opened my eyes to soccer in the UK. Me and my wife love the small town passion around their local clubs. Had no idea it was like that. Me and my wife are planning to go to a game and spend a few days in town. But, to be honest, when the OB’s started talking about the different towns and leagues, I was lost. Couldn’t understand a word they were sayin; lol.

[@stevies6294]

Not sure how easy it would be for you all but it would be fun if you guys “reacted” to the show and put each episode up

[@TM-bq5mt]

This would be so great! I know episodes are long but knowing how much they’ll love the show it would be fun to watch the reactions

[@brianbrigham9177]

Agreed

[@dilberthigh]

The show has been quite popular here in the US. I actually know a few English folks and one Welsh person and have talked with them about the show. Thanks to the show I now actually understand offsides in the sport, never could figure it out prior. EDIT: I can't speak to the whole of the US but at least in Minnesota I know quite a few folks who watched it.

[@cazlou5829]

My team, my home town.From that first game I went to with my dad when I was 4 i was hooked! So glad that others get to see what I love so much!!

[@JADPrice]

I watched the whole series and I’ve become a Wrexham fan! I can’t wait until the National League creates a streaming service so I can watch while Wrexham games, instead of just the highlights on KZbin. I became an Arsenal fan about 8 years ago, just as NBC started showing PL games here in the US.

[@scottaldridge7888]

The Wrexham series is fantastic. I have watched a lot of the “soccer” shows on Netflix and Amazon but love how they have done this series. I have attended one match in Europe and that was Florence versus AC Milan. It was quite an experience. I am a retired Soldier and a student of military history. “Men of Harlech” is one of my favorite patriotic songs. I have Welsh blood in my line so following a Welsh Club is only natural. I am very pleased to have been introduced to Wrexham by Ryan and Rob and I have become a fan. I am a fan of the US Men’s Team and am anxious for the World Cup to get started. Cheers and go “Red Dragons”

[@chadbailey7038]

Loved this whole document series. Watch lots more clips! I liked their first press conference in the stand with the local fans

[@crockwell1966]

The show has done so well in the ratings that a Wrexham game was shown live here in the States on ESPN2 a few weeks ago. The show is great.... interesting, funny, agonizing....and is green lit for a 2nd series next year. I think Grimsby knocked them out in the Semi's playoff game....and Parkinson is still their manager. They are currently in 2nd...1 point out of 1st

[@VTHokie1001k]

Their FA Cup game against Oldham was on espn yesterday

[@Ricknbama]

Wrexham has a huge following here in the states now because of the documentary, it has Americans now interested in English football, people from all over the states are flying over to Wrexham. If I'm not mistaken I think Ryan Reynolds just bought a house in Wrexham, he sold his mint mobile company here in the states so he could invest more in Wrexham... its got me interested into a game I always thought was too slow.....

[@thedude6043]

Typical jarhead American here and before "Welcome to Wrexham" I would have watched paint dry before i would have watched a soccer/football game. After WtW I have a basic understanding of the league and game rules. I had no idea you could get a minor penalty or error and the other team gets what amounts to a free "Hail Mary" play in American football. Promotion and Relegation are totally foreign concepts to American sports. Blows my mind the idea of the Yankees being 6 seasons away from beer league baseball if they lost enough. You are correct. I went from no interest in soccer, to listening to the brilliant club broadcast of the Wrexham Football games over the internet on Saturday mornings (stateside still morning).

[@jasonbell4226]

I’m from a Welsh settled town in Pennsylvania, Bangor. I love it. Btw, Bangor Pa is approx 75 mins north of Philly.

[@flopofshame2582]

I've never followed football/soccer before, but i find myself rooting for a team far from where i live in Los Angeles. This will be great for the sport in America.

[@Ignats75]

Lakewood, Ohio here. I just watched the whole season twice. It was so good, I talked my wife, who knows nothing about English Football, into watching it. So I watched it with her and she LOVED it. It's funny. Its real. ITs poignant. And its really educational about the sport. Definitely five stars.

I'm glad you reacted to this. I was wondering how people from the UK viewed the club and the documentary series. The reaction in the States has been there are a ton of new Wrexham fans lol.

[@RomesThe59]

I’m a huge Rob McElhenney fan so I watched the show. As an American we don’t really follow soccer much, honestly it’s more a women’s sport here. But this show was so well done it made me a Wrexham fan.

[@freedomdoc9278]

I'm from Saginaw Michigan USA, love the show. Already bought merchandise and follow the games.

[@Rosiepoop]

The show is so good. Perfect for these blokes.

[@clarenceflam]

I hope we get more people like Reynolds & Mcelhenny to invest more in football and other sporting teams as they seem to understand it is bigger than just the team but the wider community and its impacts. This to me is philanthropy at its best. I find it strange that we seem not bothered by corporate billionaires from Saudi or the States etc etc that have no other interests than to feed their personal power and greed to fulfill their own satisfaction and ego. I hope it shifts the focus on whom we feel will benefit the cause, game and community... They have stated that they are in this for the long term, I actually believe that they mean this and may be lifers just like the fans they now represent.

[@hanaj]

I’ve been watching the show on Hulu. It’s really good

[@TheCheffer76]

My office in Kentucky watches it. We are fans now.

[@gezdodd8370]

Thanks for reviewing our great football club. As a long term fan I can tell you we already have a lot of interest and new followers in American and are coming over to watch us play. Average hate you had wrong it’s 10k which is the capacity and tonight we have just had approval for the new kop to be built bringing the capacity to 15k

[@officeblokedaz]

Best of luck mate. Be good to see a team from north wales in the prem. Cardiff and Swansea are too far! 😂👍🏻

[@angryroy6277]

I've been following the club since I heard Rob and Ryan were interested in buying it and I even watched the meeting they had with the fan's ownership group to get approval for the purchase. They've assembled a legitimate team and they pack out the Racecourse Grounds with 10,000 fans every game now it's amazing to watch. They also just got approval to build another stand as well to expand capacity to 15,000. Barring any setbacks they should go up this year. Rob has one of the longest running shows in television history and Ryan is nearly a billionaire. I think they're in it for the long haul.

[@officeblokedaz]

Notts County will give them a real challenge for promotion.

[@dlindy9143]

I loved welcome to Wrexam, I thought it was extremely well done.

[@TM-bq5mt]

Love me some “soccer” and this documentary showing the gaffer cussing nonstop at halftime was amazing. Seeing the lives of national league players outside of the game struggling to live with low wages and then Patrick Mullins living like a king, so interesting. A must watch, if not just for the opening credits sequence alone.

[@VideoNozoki]

I know about Wrexham only because of Ryan Reynolds & Rob McElhenney. I was nervous about US/Canadian Hollywood types doing this sort of thing ("Please do it right!") But, after watching their documentaries about all the earnest effort they are putting into the club, I am now VERY PROUD of how Rob & Ryan are handling themselves (they understand how much this really means to the town) -- Even on US interview shows, they are very careful to correct a US interviewer who says "soccer" --- Rob, "Yes, FOOTBALL is very important, and we are trying to be respectful and give the community the respect it deserves with this..."

[@darrenchristian141]

Seriously , the bad old days of football violence which Wrexham were very much a part of has mostly past , and I think the roles the 2 actors have played in bringing a smile to a town which was on its arse is unreal ...the players the fans the town have all taken them as one of their own

[@tm2bee]

Can you explain about what is required to move from one league to another? I had no idea that was even a thing.

[@officeblokedaz]

You need to win the league or runners up or via a 3-6th place playoff. That gets you promoted to the league above you. Bottom 3 get relegated to league below. Some leagues have different numbers of who goes up / down.

[@brianmoore6724]

Depends on which league you are in. For Wrexham only the top team goes up automatically. The others enter a playoff and the winner of that playoff goes up. In the next league up I think the top two move higher and the next four enter a playoff. For the top league, the Premier League, the bottom 3 drop down to what's called the Championship and the top 2 from the Championship automatically go up and the next four enter a playoff for the last transfer up. The bottom 3 of the Championship drop down to the next lower level. It goes back and forth like that. Wrexham are in a league with a BUNCH of teams and with only two going up and only one of those automatically then it's very very hard to go up. Last I looked a week ago they were in 2nd 1 point behind Notts County. (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, you play each team home and away during the season)

[@Vote_Blue]

ryan reynolds sold his interest in aviation american gin last year for 440 million dollars. wrexham's owners are not going broke any time soon. they've stated the ultimate goal is promotion to the premiership, and they have the money to spend on a roster that can get them there.

[@celly589]

Much like a lot of the people here, I’m not a big soccer fan but I absolutely loved the series. I would look forward to new episodes every week because it was that good. I so loved and enjoyed them focusing on the people, the city, the players. Made it so heartwarming and fun to watch. On a side note, if Netflix is thinking of a new releasing model instead of the bingeing model, they should follow how Hulu released these episodes by dropping 2-3 on the day. You get the satisfaction of watching more than one but it elongates the release schedule so you don’t have to binge all in one sitting even tho I love bingeing lol

[@Ignats75]

Ryan talks about how watching Sunderland Til I Die is what convinced him to partner with Rob.

[@lizetteolsen3218]

Ryan Reynolds also has a history of being a successful and savvy business guy. He is also positioning himself to purchase a Canadian sports team. He owns Mint Mobile. He owned and then sold Aviation Gin. He has a track record of success, outside of entertainment. Forgot to ask--with OB be reacting to the series?

[@creativitycell]

Rob n Ryan have already spent more of their own money, and brought in more sponsorship money, and MADE more TV money fr the club, sold more shirts, and done more fr the while Town n Community in 18 months, than the whole UTD class of 92' have done for Salford in 10 years!! Wrexham is putting pressure on the UTD owners now to do more.....but they are focused on themselves....Rob n Rob are 100% committed n focused on progressing the club! Theres a massive difference! Wrexham will rise higher than Salford ever can in next few years! Salford! Gary Neville is more focused on his Hotel! Beckham hasn't been to Salford game EVER! They just put their names n £50,000 in! £250,000 in total in 10 years! Then said it has to sustain itself! Rob n Ruan have out put £3-£4M in already in 18 months! Ownership is one thing, active committed participating owners is another!! Anyone talking about Salford? No! Does Beckham or class of '93 ever mention them!? NO! Wrexham shows that in reality that Salford is just a "Toy" they can't even be bothered with.....they did enough so it wouldn't go out of business as they grew up in the area, but that was it! And Beckham! He doesn't care, he from Leytonstone, East London, and more interested in Inter Miami!! 🤣🤣🤣

I danced around with this game a bit for many years..... but being from the States, there was no reason for me to form a bond to any team. This series gave me a reason to pay further attention and not jump on with a TOP Team winning. I'd like to be along for the ride and watch them succeed.

[@creativitycell]

Wrexham can get to Championship in 5 years! 10,000 fans at every home game now! With R n R, sponsorship, and ground regen, they cud easily be a solid Championship club with 15,000 at games! They'll get bigger sponsorship deals, and global exposure! Club revenue from shirts, season tickets n stuff has gone through the roof! R n R have probably broken even, or will soon financially. And for the other R, it's raised his profile! No one knew who he was really! 🤣
