Credit Where it’s Due.

Club did a fantastic job last night, they come in for a lot of criticism at times but last nights build up was pure theatre.

Like it or not but it’s all about the “ product “ these days , nearly 21k and a win ….job done

It might not suit some narratives, but we are finally on the right path. We're starting to look like we have found the right combination: a bright, young, enthusiastic manager who has finally got his trusted backroom staff watching his back, and a couple of Swansea's finest on board too. What's not to like?

Yep. Football is a business these days, performed on and off the pitch.

Paid for hospitality and didn't regret it at all. That's a sign of good value and, as you state, the effort by everyone was clear.

Couldn't agree more with you, excellent post

For all the Wrexham love in from the sky commentators last night they did highlight one thing that Wrexham have done brilliantly and that's their commercial revenue

Wrexham's - approx £20m
Swansea's - approx £2.5m

In fairness, they got lucky, Reynolds was looking around for a non league side to promote his ego, it could have easily have been Dagenham and Redbridge. Wrexham won the lottery that day. Forever a mid table Championship side, if he stays around.

Do you mind me asking which hospitality you booked? Thinking of booking one of the options for the lad's birthday in the new year, looking at the LT10 lounge if anyone has done that?

A lot of it depends on maintaining the interest that drives the commercial deals. A couple of years spent swimming in the mid table Championship mire will turn a lot of people off. So far they've basically had a story to tell each season. Finishing twelfth after a campaign of kick and rush won't put viewers in seats by comparison.

And don't underplay Rob McElhenny in this. He was the one initially looking for a club and talked Reynolds into it.

From what Gorringe said in his interview few weeks ago, we will be getting a large sponsor next season and it's the biggest we have had in a while.

Ryan Reynolds is a sharp businessman with the charisma to make people forget that. I believe he's made more money from companies like his gin and mobile phone businesses than he has from acting. The minute Wrexham stops being profitable for him, he'll sell his stake in a heartbeat. Not so sure about McElhenny, he seems more invested in the team, but he's also an actor, so who knows?

I know for a fact there’s been a discussion over the stadium naming rights.
I also know one of the company’s involved in talks over a major sponsorship deal but I’m not saying because if it gets out they’ll know it’s me.

That’s why they’re trying to buy the ground from the council. Naming rights I mean. At the moment the council are entitled to a percentage.
Have to buy MM out as well though.

I bet a few of those Lib Dem councillors made a few quid out of the stadium.
