Wrexham Documentary

Not watched any of the series but just watched the final episode on my lunch via the dodgy firestick. The one who isn't Deadpool is right, "you can't write it." Whilst I prefer to watch the BT Sport highlight package I'm glad we also got documented in a Disney series bunging up the works in the final act. I know loads of people from work and mates who have been watching it and talking about it so it's top for them to see Town at their best, even though the episode sort of skirts over some of our greatest goals of recent years and there's no mention of handball for that Wrexham goal, I think the Wrexham commentator even says it was 'smashed in' or something even though you can literally see it on the screen. Either way it gave me a great sense of pride once more to see again what happened that Saturday lunchtime in Wrexham.

It really is a great time to be a Town supporter, they should make a documentary about us.

I'll send you my Disney login, you can buy me a pint 😀

You're on!  

Worth a Disney subscription solely for the super slo-mo of Waterfall running onto that header.

The issue I have with this though is that the sponsors aren't buying into Wrexham, it's the pull of the Hollywood Two. Remove them and they aren't bothered.

Eye-watering figures though that should carry them through to League One at the very least. Fans will always back a positive and ambitious plan. The increase in attendances is very similar to what we've experienced here.

I’ve watched it tonight and it does give you shivers watching it back. They’ve over engineered it though, they’ve taken the drama out of it by cutting away after every goal and Waterfalls goal does not get the Hollywood edit that it so very deserves.

I found myself nervous watching it, it’s well worth a watch and I completely get that the documentary isn’t about us.

A good documentary overall I thought, some terrible editing throughout but those two are really likeable, hiring Shaun Harvey is an absolute bollock dropped though.

Absolutely mental that we know the result, and we've all watched the goals a dozen times over, and yet it still gets you going. Unsurprisingly they didn't mention how soft their first penalty was, or the handball for their goal, but did make a point of the penalty they should have had but didn't get.

Overall I've enjoyed the series, all be it with my finger on the skip button on occassion. I think its done a good job of explaining to an American audience just what a football club means to towns like ours. Wrexham is almost a carbon copy of Grimsby, similar sized towns that lost their major industries, and football clubs that have had similar fortunes.

We’ve actually had it quite a bit better than Wrexham this side of the millennium, which gives you some semblance of just how rough it’s been for them.

Fcking Magnolia Man couldn’t hack extra time! Must’ve felt worse watching it in the pub ffs. Hard not to feel a bit tight on the Wrexham fans, especially after their fundraising for the final, but what an absolute pair of helmets Shaun Harvey & Phil Parkinson are. Parkinson’s an arrogant ársehole who couldn’t get promoted with the biggest budget in the league & Harvey’s just an obsequious hanger-on.

You forget just how far above our normal level the team played for that playoff run, everyone seemed to find an extra 10% from somewhere and McAtee was unplayable in that semi.

That bottle job watching extra time in the pub? Soft twit.

How parkinson still has a job is anyone’s guess, that point at half time, even the players know he’s full of excrement. Harvey is the ultimate parasite and the fact they can’t see it means I couldn’t give a flying intercourse and they deserve intercourse all.

It’s great the programme focussed on the community, at clubs like us and them that’s important but the editing makes it hard to watch. They missed a massive opportunity to demonstrate the juxtaposition often seen in football, but I guess that’s not what they were going for…
