Fearless in Devotion

Wrexham are back in with a shout of the play-offs. Rhys, Tim, Liam and Andy examine our rather comfortable win against Stoke, while biggest play off rivals Hull could only manage a draw. Phil Parkinson made some big calls dropping Arthur Okonkwo and Max Cleworth and there’s differing opinions on whether he was right to do it.We also ask if Josh Windass has the X-Factor to get us over the line, is Callum Doyle back to his best and who is our early shout for player of the season. We predict what we need to get into the play offs and how we see the rest of the season panning out.The lads also discuss our latest live night where had some great guests who gave us some brilliant insight into the club now and in the past.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Enjoy this Fat Boar-sponsored episode?

It was the latest Fearless in Devotion live night at the Maesgwyn Hall on Thursday (April 17) and we couldn’t leave you hanging. Wrexham CEO Michael Williamson gave us 50 minutes of his time and answered all the big questions you posed to him (and a few from us). These include: loyalty scheme (or lack of it), away pricing, season tickets in the future, lots and lots (and lots) on the Kop, plus the rest of the ground development, the training ground, the academy, the pre-season tours and the transfer window rated and slated. Oh and of course, where is the Rockin’ Robin suit and does he wear it. Have we forgotten something? Probably…so you’ll just have to listenOther panels we have to come in the coming weeks are : Kevin Russell, Mark Carrington and Neil Ashton, Jenny Sugarman and Ben Tozer------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Enjoy this Fat Boar-sponsored episode?

Is the play off dream gone? That’s the stark question Andy and Tim have to answer after another horrific defeat in a week seems to have derailed a season. Too many players were off par and we’re looking at you Max, Arthur, George Dobson and Matty James.We pick the bones out of a painful defeat at bogey side Birmingham and ask if there are positives we can take into the last four games of the season. We also re-rate the transfer window and go through the final few games and try to identify where we can pick up points.But there is some good news this week as we get a huge announcement from Hollywood as Welcome to Wrexham is renewed for three seasons. Surely that gives us three more chances to get to the Premier League?#wrexham #wrexhamafc #wxmafc #wrexhamfc #birminghamcity #birminghamcityfootballclub #southamptonfc #hullcity #ryanrenolds #robmcelhenney #eflchampionship #efl To subscribe to our Wrexham is the Game newsletter for £14.80 visit here: https://wrexhamisthegame.substack.com...You can buy tickets for the Live Night here: https://www.mghall.co.uk/events/fearl...

Welcome to the ‘Wrexham got hammered’ edition - they don’t happen very often! We look at what went wrong but we have to take our hats off to Southampton. They are the benchmark we need to reach. But first we reveal some big news! Then we dive into the analysis and ask if Parky or the players are to blame plus what we can do to turn things around. We all agree the play offs push is not over by a long way.We mention our most infamous hammerings and preview the now huge match against Birmingham. Always look on the bright side of life…#wrexham #wrexhamafc #wxmafc #wrexhamfc #birminghamcity  #birminghamcityfootballclub #southamptonfc #southampton  #ryanrenolds #robmcelhenney #eflchampionship #efl You can buy tickets for the Live Night here: https://www.mghall.co.uk/events/fearless-in-devotion-rescheduled-date-16th-aprilEnjoy this Fat Boar-sponsored episode?

Welcome to the Easter sore head edition. Tim, Andy and to a lesser extent Liam hit West Brom hard but like the team, we’ve recovered (well, sort of). We ask why were Wrexham so passive in the first half and so good in the second. Was Arthur to blame for the first and why was Issa definitely to blame of the second.But then, the second half - how good was Windass and have we made peace with him not celebrating. We look at two beautiful goals and one amazing, world class save - whatever other people think.We’ll then look ahead to the Southampton match and ask if we’d change anything (Note: Liam does want to change things). We also ask should Hyam go to the World Cup and examine the women’s team furore over Jodie Bartle’s passionate team talk which drew sexist comments.#wrexham #wrexhamafc #wxmafc #wrexhamfc #westbromwichalbion #westbrom #southamptonfc #southampton  #ryanrenolds #robmcelhenney #eflchampionship #efl You can buy tickets for the Live Night here: https://www.mghall.co.uk/events/fearless-in-devotion-rescheduled-date-16th-aprilEnjoy this Fat Boar-sponsored episode?

And we ask the big questions such as are Wrexham effectively a Premier League business, does being such a global brand carry risks and is a £70m Kop Stand the only way we can go. We examine the private equity boost from Apollo investments and the £3.8m lost when a broker went bust.We also look at the £4m paid to Ryan Reynolds’ and Rob Mac’s marketing companies, plus the £2m+ given to promote Welcome to Wrexham and ask is that money well spent.It’s a fascinating insight into some astounding accounts#wrexham #wrexhamafc #wxmafc #wrexhamfc #footballfinance #sheffieldwednesday #ryanrenolds #robmcelhenney #welcometowrexham #s4c
