[@baverfjant]

@@Isleofskye You don't really have to be psychic to know that Wrexham is going up when they have a budget that is like 10x if not more than the second richest team in the National League. Their star players should really play 1-2 divisions higher at least, which tells you a bit of how big their pull is compared to the rest. Still, they've clearly shown that they're dedicated to success. I just hope the marketing doesn't become bigger than the club, cause it's the oldest active club and has a rich history which the fans surely want to stay connected to.

They guys are great and have been good for Wrexam and brought attention to all the lower divisions. But really the star is just UK football and the fans. Their passion. The promotion battle. The relegation battle. Pub life. It’s the backbone of Ted Lasso and it’s what drives this show. It’s hard to draw parallels with US sport because they really just have the football. Rugby and cricket are great and have passionate fans but they are distant second and third to football. And the football is just the club system, there isn’t a college league that’s at all relevant. So it all gets concentrated and amplified into football. That’s what they have captured with the show.
