EranioIsGod Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I go watch Wales with a lot of Wrexham fans. They genuinely are excited about this. The club has been stagnant now for years. Hopefully this'll be a catalyst for the club and community Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Durden Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Cool just waiting for a man prancing around in a Deadpool outfit to become their new mascot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Contain Nuts Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 At least the Welsh branch of our sheep shagging alliance will have some nice weather to enjoy, because as we all know, It's Always Sunny in Wrexham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambitious Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 I can't think of many poorer investment choices than a non-league club hemorrhaging money with a relatively small fanbase and a league with tight financial restrictions in the midst of a pandemic. They are going to struggle to make any sort of money out of it, much more likely to lose money, plus the PR will be forgotten within a couple of weeks - a month at most. It's a bit of a gimmick, although if it keeps Wrexham from going under then I doubt their fans will give the slightest care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why has a non league club got a song? why does their badge tell me they were born and died in the same year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they get promoted they'd have a salary cap, but still no limit on transfer fees until they got to the Championship. I agree they probably won't make money, but is that the only reason they've done it? If it is only money the only aim will be promotion to the Prem where they will make a lot of money.

Gee SCREAMER !! Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 No reason they shouldn't get a club to league one. They'll need a fair bit more cash to go any further with ground upgrades and wages. There fans would probably take that now, but like most fans a bit of success leaves you expecting more. As for a global brand, unless one of them starts crapping metre long gold bars like an elephant with the poops, there's more chance of me getting a phone call from Mel when he sells up, asking me if I fancy a week in the presidential suite at Caesars palace with playboy bunnies on tap. Bloody hell the phones ringing, who's that at this time of night.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shang Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 It looks to me that they're probably going to turn this into a "meme" club. Something lighthearted and fun which can be anyones second team because they're a fan of Ryan Reynolds. It's how he's approached the rest of his business ventures. Get's lots of clicks and business that way. Clean up the badge, get a few decent looking kits out and have them seen in a few funny sketches or shows then you'll get people wearing them. People won't be bothered by wearing another teams kit because they're not in the same league as your main team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are trying to agree a football documentary with one of the big streaming sites, raise the profile of the club and sell it to the world. Could work great could be a disaster.
