More hype for Wrexham

When Town beat them last year in the play offs Wrexham owners described it as a bump in the road. The investment poured into Wrexham for NL club is fantastic with the owners wish of making them a global force.

I do feel for their true fans, who sent money for our fans to attend the London Stadium final. Fairy tales come true but the reality of being a global force can come crashing down, Real Madrid, Man U & City they will never be. Why? Simply the American owners do not have the money the Arabs have.

When the American interest waivers because of their lack of success the fans will suffer. Liverpool had this with American owners, so judge for yourselves.

Think people just need to get over it now.

Two Hollywood millionaire movie star owners, winning nearly every week, 10k crowds, twātting League 1 teams away in 7-goal cup thrillers - you’re gonna get press attention.

There are far less deserving fanbases out there!

I wish them well - any team down in the lower leagues need all the help they can get.  Better to support a team like Wrexham then City or Liverpool...

I've always had respect for fans that turn up every week to support their team.....  lets face it, unless you are one of the big Premier League clubs, most of the time supporting a team is the same for all of us - frustrating, disappointing, gruelling with the occasional glimmer of hope.

Whilst I don't see them becoming a true force because their fanbase is too small, I wouldn't bet against it. Some billionaire who wants to hang out with movie stars could well be interested in getting involved.

I think Wrexham will do alright in the long run, personally. Currently, the global platform their owners and subsequent documentary has given them is funding the investment in their first team and club infrastructure, and should that falter their owners are going to find it much more difficult to hide in the shadows than the likes of Peter Swann. I don’t see it going properly títs up for them.

I’m somewhat ambivalent towards Wrexham. As a rule, I dislike inorganic cash injections taking clubs to places their fan base could not naturally sustain, ergo Fleetwood, Salford and slightly more historically Crawley. But whilst the Wrexham situation is unique, it’s ostensibly self-funding and the club has a potential fan base capable of sustaining second-tier football.

I’d add to that their fans seem a decent bunch, as you rightly call out them helping to fund tickets for Town fans for last season’s final, and they’ve certainly served their time in non-league purgatory - they’ve been down their since 2008!

Excessive media coverage is an expected side effect of Wrexham’s teleological approach, and it won’t be going away any time soon. Ultimately, whilst I expect Wrexham to surpass us over the course of the next 5 years, I’m much happier with what we’ve got - invested, local owners with a community centric approach, quietly helping repair the damage of the last 20 years, with little fanfare.

Be grateful for what we’ve got, because like Wrexham I believe we have a club that is going places - just a little less noisily.

That's how it is when one of your owners is Deadpool and very popular with the media. I doubt we'd be losing any sleep over jealousy if some random super hero movie star bought our club and decided to pump a ton of money into it after what we've had to deal with over the years. Wrexham have done their years of endless disappointment and endlessly crap owners who don't invest anything.

Can't help feel that they're in it for the long haul though. Redeveloping that derelict stand behind the goal and no doubt the new training ground will be of Championship standard, they'll leave the club in a much better place than they found it, with much better organic revenue streams.

If we hadn’t played them in the league last year (or the subsequent play off campaign) would we really care? Or is it a bit of the green eyed monster that the club has emerged from their ‘slumber’ and are being given the chance to reignite their (footballing) fortune. It seems like the whole community is enjoying the exposure, not just the club.

There’s teams that have had money thrown at them for less worthy causes. I’d rather see them in the spotlight over the veggies or Salford. They at least have heritage on their side and a good strong fan base.

We'd probably end up with Aqua Man
