Why Wrexham, Wales?

“A little nonsense now and then, is relished by the wisest man.” – Roald Dahl

We traveled a few hours out of our way to see this!
We have become obsessed with this football (soccer) team – The Red Dragons.
Formed in 1864, it is the oldest club in Wales and the third oldest professional association football team in the world.
The Racecourse pitch was pretty buttoned up but we were able to get a peek.
The reason we are so interested in this team is that we have been watching “Welcome to Wrexham” for the last couple of years. If you haven’t seen it, why not? It’s a delightful and heartwarming documentary, of sorts, shown on Disney +
This is their coach, Phil Parkinson. He’s great and only swears a bit – well a lot but we’ll overlook that bit about him! 😉

The fans stand here to greet the boys as they head to a match. They often stop to sign autographs and chat with the locals.
Hey it’s the UK, so of course there’s a pub attached to the stadium!
I had to belly up for a pint. (Not really, I hate beer!😂)
But I don’t mind shopping for some merch!
The team has advanced a few levels since Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds bought the organization.
We have more places to visit but we will definitely keep our eyes on this town and team!
