Wrexham, Ah Wrexham

By /
Hands up if you know anything about Wrexham ... good, anything else that doesn't have Ryan Reynolds involved? Nope?

I knew three things about Wrexham, firstly and overwhelmingly that Ryan Reynolds and Rob MackilleHenry had bought the local football club and the first doco series was awesome. Secondly, that Wrexham is in Wales, somewhere. And finally, it's a shit hole.

The last 'fact' was given to me by Hannah who, being a Wrexham girl, I took as gospel.

Sooo, football, famous Hollywood football. I found a home game, I planned our trip around getting to the hotel leaving us plenty of time to get to the ground for the 2:30pm kick-off. I paid to joined the supporters club to get preferential ticket options. A few weeks before and the tickets were released, within 10 mins they had all gone. We didn't have tickets. I think there must've been about 20 on sale.

Arse.

Wrexham and that final fact loomed large, it's a shit hole. Ah well, we had had a glorious day's travels and, as you know, Llangollen was wonderful.

Wrexham, into the posh hotel, a bite to eat and a drink, bed, wake up, leave with this face both in our minds but also in my heart.

Wrexham, ah Wrexham.
