    Finally Rob Getting some due.. All you hear and see is Ryann Reynolds. When Rob is the one who made it all start. He needs more recognition.

    I admire Rob and Ryan so much. Living in Wrexham and supporting their club since the 70’s, it is great to see how much of a breath of fresh air they have brought to the town. It is a two way street, though; they have really bought into the love of the game and of North Wales and it’s culture and language. Cymru am byth! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

      Great Story. Great City, as far as I can tell from watching the tv show.
      Wrexham and Wales sneaked into my places to visit during my lifetime.
      I have already been in Cardiff, but that was 30 years ago and it was during my service in military, so it was not really a holiday. But even back than I enjoyed the time in Wales. Lovely people and places

    I had no idea what kind of person Rob was/is until he took over Wrexham and I started paying attention. Really solid dude. Seems like a great guy to have a beer with and talk about life and all that comes with it.

      Yes and as a Villa lass - more than that, they literally infected the national league with 'possibilities' that was always there... but never truly explored.

    As a soccer fan and having seen this from Ben Foster's perspective (Wrexham goalkeeper who puts the GoPro in his goal), it was great to hear it from Rob's perspective. -Paras

    As a massive fan of football and a supporter of Chelsea fc for 55 years it has been fascinating following the Wrexham story since Rob And Ryan's takeover a couple of years ago. Best wishes for Continued success with Wrexham to you guys plus I love your sense of humour which comes across so well.
    About time Ryan gave you a Hug. Will watch Wrexham fc v Chelsea fc in the states this summer in your rise to the top.
    There will be ups and downs of course but I'm sure it will be worth it in the end. Good luck to you both as well as your families. ❤❤

    The reason people call WWE fake is not because it doesn't require great skill or athleticism, but because it's not a true competition. The "winners" and "losers" are not determined in the ring but were determined weeks prior in a writers room. That's rather different than sports that you can wager on.

    Since this fairytale began I’ve watched so many video clips and interviews with Rob and Ryan and this is the best one I’ve come across. And that’s mainly down to the hosts who had the most intelligent and insightful questions.
