Ok, where to begin.
For a start, I am not a plastic Wrexham fan who has been taken in by Welcome to Wrexham on Disney.
I was, and still am a fan of Ryan Reynolds and his output in the entertainment industry.
That’s what made me so curious about the trials and tribulations of a down in the dumps club, that also happens to be from Wales and which, over time, went from the rags of the Conference League, and are now attempting to enter into the riches of the Premier League.
What began as a simple fascination over why Reynolds decided to invest his time and efforts into a Welsh club in the Conference League of all things, and not an English club in the Premier League, soon turned into a genuine interest in the club and the story of its determination to drag itself out of the league it found itself in.
There can be little doubt in my mind, that those who are harshly critical about Wrexham, haven’t actually seen the TV series.
There is a camaraderie within the Wrexham community and a heartfelt sincerity from Ryan Reynolds and Rob McHelenney to that community, that I wish we had had at the time when I was watching the airing of the first episode.
This is no Saudi takeover that we’re talking about here, where untold wealth was thrown at an already relatively rich club in the Premier League that has little chance of being relegated.
There has been grit and determination in the Wrexham team and club all along their way up the leagues, including throughout their first taste of Championship football this season.
It can be safely said that they haven’t had it easy this campaign, as they weren’t blazing a trail through to the Premier League from the off, and they might still have to do it the hard way as we did in 2011.
Phil Parkinson is no Pep Guardiola overseeing a team brimming with the topmost Premier League talent, and taking every league that they’ve been in by storm.
The Disney FC label is a somewhat derogatory, and dare I say it, lazy criticism of the way that they’ve gone about their business.
It certainly doesn’t give these owners due credit for the hard work that they’ve put in throughout, both in terms of the recruitment of their footballing personnel on and off the pitch, and their hugely successful attempt to try to galvanise the Wrexham community that supports the club, to get behind and trust them come what may.
Anyway, back to the Swans, and I’ll be supporting our team to the hilt without question, whether that be from the stands at Wrexham or sat in front of a screen at home.
You could say that my congratulations go to Wrexham for all that they’ve achieved and continue to achieve, but my heart remains firmly seated with my home club and team.
