So, Rocky I, he loses.

Rocky II, he wins.

So season one, we lost.

Grimsby look to have won it.

Setting up for season two,
where we won.

Champions!

And now here we are
in season three.

- Is this where
we fight Hulk Hogan?
- Well, yes.

It'’s where we open
by wrestling Hulk Hogan.

There'’s not much more to say.

When you go up a level
and you make mistakes,
you get punished.

Welcome to the Football League.

And then eventually,
we fight Mr. T.

I'’m the champ! I'll beat ya
like I did last time!

To end the season,
Wrexham want to
get back at Stockport

for that 5-nil beating.

Okay. And then, next,

the season after this,
we'’ll fight Drago.

I don'’t know
what the parallels are gonna be

other than this is most likely
the worst, um--

- the worst season.
- Oh.

I'’m taking a selfie.

That'’s quite a cool photo.

Life isn'’t a smooth ride, is it?

I had a big obstacle
with losing my dad.

A lot of people say,
you know, with grief,
that it gets easier.

But I think, for me,
it'’s actually getting harder,
you know?

The last
couple of years have been
difficult for us as a family.

We draw strength
from one another.

Lili Jones has scored!

I don'’t think my mom gets
the recognition she deserves.

She'’s genuinely one of a kind.
I don'’t think any of this
would'’ve happened without her.

My photograph
to do the club grew into
kind of an obsessional project.

- Although I'’ve
still yet to stand

inside the Racecourse Ground

or even attend a match.

This is the beginning of
a next chapter.

I think it'’s quite surreal

that three years ago, Millie was

at quite a low point
in her life.

- You went through
dark times.
- Yeah.

It was pretty awful.

But there was a light,
wasn'’t there,

- at the end of the tunnel?
- Yeah.

It'’s for Mullin.

Wow. Thank you.

She'’s overcome that.

She'’s come a long way.

When I was ill, I'’ve had
these tubes down my throat.

I thought I might not be able
to talk again.

Aw!

My voice
gradually started coming back.

You know, you never know
what'’s around the corner.

But it'’s not always negative.

There'’s always positive things
as well.

People want to experience
a piece of the club.

And they want to feel like
they'’re a part of this magical,

wonderful story
that is unfolding
before our eyes.

This is a team and a town

that always
is gonna put on a good fight
and see what happens.

We'’re off to Colchester.
Hopefully a win this time.

Can you tell me about
how long the journey is today?

I don'’t even
want to think about it.

We'’ll just get on
and then see what time
we end up there.

Wrexham will make the long trip
to Colchester today.

- You feeling confident?
I don'’t know.

We intend to get there
around about 12:00.
So, five hours.

That'’s 231 miles.

Our away struggles

continue to plague us
a little bit.

The loss at Doncaster
wasn'’t great.

Now we have to go away again,
and this time, we have to win.

And even though
people keep telling us

we don'’t know what we're doing,
we keep bringing in people

who do know what they'’re doing.

That'’s why we brought in
Phil and Shaun,

and look how that turned out.

My friend and trainer,
Don Saladino and Life Fitness,

donated a ton of equipment.

And Gatorade helps us with
the sports science of it all.

We have HP helping out
with our infrastructure.

We'’re trying to go global
with our online presence.

We have experts
upgrading the stadium.

Now, we may not always know
what we'’re doing...

but these people certainly do.

And all they have to do
right now

is win a goddamn away match.
Please.

Five games to go.
We need the points.

We need 12 points out of 15
to be certain to go up.

So, we could do with
a win today.

We'’re currently sat
in third place,
two points ahead of MK Dons.

I'’m sure you remember them
from earlier.

It seems our Hulk Hogans
are expected to win
easily today

in their game against
last-place Forest Green Rovers.

Colchester
are on the lower part
of the division.

We'’re at the top.
So, both are fighting
for points.

They wanna come out
of the relegation zone.

We wanna go up.

Here we go.

Colchester kicking
towards their own supporters.

About to get things underway.

As the ball'’s fed backwards.

A win today
means we'’ll keep our place
in the top three.

But if we lose
and MK Dons win, we'’ll drop
down into a playoff position.

Given our history
in the playoffs,

that'’s not something
any of us particularly fancy.

There'’s so much
at stake for Colchester.

You almost prefer to play
teams in mid-table
at this time of year.

When you'’re fighting
for your life,

you'’re chucking
everything forward,
everything at this game.

And that'’s what Wrexham
are gonna be up against today.

Yeah, absolutely.

At this stage of the season,
results matter so much more.

This atmosphere. Wow.

Back inside, Read finds Smith
with a shooting opportunity.

Closed them down.
McGeehan hits it.
Good hands by Okonkwo.

And then Evans over the top.
That'’s a great ball.

Mullin on the chase.
One-on-one with the keeper.
He mis-controls it.

Barnett'’s stayed up
with him here,
takes on his man.

Shapes a shot, puts it wide.

Oh, what a moment that was.

With Paul Mullin on 99 goals
in a Wrexham shirt.

He may be able
to cross the line
and get his 100th goal,

which will be
a fantastic achievement.

Wrexham! Wrexham!

Wrexham
monopolizing possession now.

O'’Connor, that's a great ball.
Down the line.

- And Mendy'’s hamstring's gone.

Oh, no. What a shame that is.

It was a great ball
down the line by O'’Connor.

As soon as
he accelerated out of that,
he'’s pulled up.

Big gasp from the crowd
when it happened as well.

He looks visibly distressed.

He holds his shirt to his face.

What a shame.

- That'’s an awful way

to end the first half.

Wrexham have shown threat,

but will be disappointed
not to have scored.

With a look at the live scores,
MK Dons have gone up 1-nil.

This is now
a must-win match for Wrexham.

Wrexham from the kickoff.
It'’s going to be long again.

- A bit chaotic, this.
- Come on!

Colchester can start again
from the halfway line.
Helps it on nicely.

McGeehan does well to feed it
to Akinde with a return pass
that'’s strong.

But Akinde can hit this.
It'’s in! Akinde slams it.

Okonkwo got down low,
got his right hand to it,

but it ricocheted off his hand
and into the net.

And, well,
Wrexham are gonna have to find
an extra gear here now.

Fletcher'’s going over the top.

Barnett looks to pick him out.
Keeper can'’t come for that.

A defender
heads it partly away.

Mullin hits it! So close
to the 100th goal for Mullin.

Mullin, get in the box!

On his right foot,
hits a cross
to the far post...

And Mullin scores his 100th!
Paul Mullin.

Wrexham equalize.
And an historic moment.

The eighth Wrexham player
to score a hundred goals.

It'’s an outstanding achievement

to get 100 goals
as quickly as he'’s done.

He sets himself.
Steps up. Scores!

Mullin with his first goal
for Wrexham!

It'’s almost like
the more importance
there is on the game...

Jones to Mullin. One-on-one...
- Yeah!

...the more likely you feel
he is to score a goal.

He kind of thrives on that.

Mullin, overhead kick! Oh!

And just as he did
for his first Wrexham goal,

he immediately picks up
the ball after his 100th.

He takes no time to celebrate

because he knows
the win is more important.

Keep it this way, Mulls!
Come on. Work!

Wrexham!

Here'’s Evans to the near post.

Palmer'’s shirt
being pulled. Gets a flick
across the face. It'’s in!

- It'’s in!
That'’s brilliant.

Cleworth'’s
first ever league goal!

- And that is it!

I can'’t really
describe it, to be fair.
Bit of relief. Excitement.

Like, even not just because
it was my first league goal,

but the moment in the game
that we needed to win.

Just managed to run
into the corner and have
a little moment with the lads.

But, yeah, apparently
the celebrations on the bench
were even better, so...

Yeah!

Mullin'’s 100th goal
and Cleworth'’s first.

There'’s a certain poetry
to this moment.

Our current superstar
forging the path

for the 21-year-old
with a bright future.

Just as it'’s gone throughout
Wrexham'’s 160-year history.

For it to be
a young lad like that

and pop up with
a match-winning goal in
a key moment of the season

is unbelievable, and I'’m
so pleased for him, obviously.

And Wrexham win.
A huge, huge away win.

Wrexham!
- How'’s that for improvement
on the road?

Believe me, nothing'’s over yet,
but that was special.

Yeah, we'’ve hit
many milestones this year,

with Phil Parkinson
getting to 100 wins,

um, Paul Mullin
scoring 100 goals.

Um, but someone else
already scored a hundred goals
before Paul did that.

Hughes has a nice-- Great idea!

What a goal.

That'’s what Rosie Hughes does!

And that person is,
of course, Rosie Hughes.

Rosie is just a goal scorer.

I mean, the confidence
that she has in front of goal.

She is
the seventh player to score
a hundred goals for Wrexham

and the first female,
and she'’s done it
in ludicrous time.

Hundred goals in 46 games
is phenomenal.

To average two goals per match
and reach a hundred goals

in record-breaking time
is absolutely stunning.

She is a big character
around the squad, isn'’t she?

But I think that actually adds
to her performance

and to the team'’s performance
because we just all
kind of go with her.

Right, so how have you found
this season, girls?

I didn'’t expect us
to do so well.

Like, in all honesty,

I thought we'’d go up
and be near relegation.

And then to finish top three,
I'’m surprised.

I think Wrexham Women have had
a really good campaign.

If you think about it,
it'’s their first ever season
in the Adran Premier League.

It'’s a massive step up.
And they finished in third.

We'’ve more than
competed in the league
that we'’ve gone into.

We got a ridiculous
amount of points. Scored
a ridiculous amount of goals.

To see the players out there

and being very comfortable
and competing at the top level.

Yeah, I'’m hugely proud of that.

Can she finish?
Oh, yes, she can.

Yeah,
it'’s not just the league where
they'’ve exceeded expectations,

they'’ve done really well
in the cup too.

We'’ve had a decent cup run,
haven'’t we, really.

The FAW Women'’s Cup
is a separate cup competition.

It'’s very different
to the league.

You play teams
that are not only in your league

but in other leagues as well.

And then off the line.
Incredible this! Mackenzie!

As a women'’s section,
we'’ve never won the cup final.

Yeah, it'’s a chance
to end the season
with a trophy,

but it'’s also a chance
to get a bit of revenge

against a team
that has really been
their nemesis, Cardiff City.

Can'’t shake them off.

Yeah,
the Bluebirds have dominated

the top tier
of Welsh women'’s football
for quite a while.

They'’ve got
three league titles,
one Adran Trophy,

and if they beat Wrexham,
it'’s their fourth Welsh Cup.

Good to see you. Brilliant.
Mark, how you doing?

- Excited?
- This should be interesting.

- I know. Super excited.
- Big match.

Really privileged
to have been asked
by the club to help Mark

on some of
the commentary duties,
which is super exciting for me.

And I never thought that'’d
be something I'’d end up doing.

It'’s nice to still have
a bit of involvement,

feel a part of it, you know?

Okay. Listen in. This is
a big occasion, all right?

It'’s a perfect opportunity
to round off a very,
very good season.

I can see it
in all your fucking eyes.

The desire today
is fucking unbelievable.

Let'’s take the game to them.

And we'’re gonna be taking
that fucking trophy home.

Fuck Cardiff. This is our day.

A hello and welcome
to the Welsh Cup final.

Wrexham, for the first time,
playing in this massive,
massive fixture

against the giants of
Cardiff City.

I'’m Mark Griffiths
and I'’m joined, of course,
by Mia Roberts.

Wrexham
definitely today coming in
as massive, massive underdogs

given how their season'’s
sort of gone against Cardiff
this year.

Cardiff, then,
get things underway.

We need to make sure
that we stick in this final
for as long as we can.

Wrexham'’s defense
have lost their shape.
This is dangerous.

Oakley, edge of the area,
goes wide, beats Fuller.

And scores.

There'’s something
different about us when
we play Swansea and Cardiff.

We'’re a bit--
As if we respect them too much.

We'’re still competing with them,

giving them a good game.

It'’s not easy for them
to turn us over.

Dangerous moment
on transition here

as Cardiff burst into the box.

Brilliant tackle by Allen!
Unbelievable.

She sweeps it in.
Lots of movement
in the goalmouth.

Keeper comes,
punches it half clear.
Drops loose!

And it'’s blocked from Allen,
and hooked just wide.

Oh, that was so close.

Oh, I thought it was in.

What a first half by Wrexham.

Cardiff have the goal,
but for me, Wrexham were
the better team.

Come on, Wrexham!

Allen bursts
forwards. Great interception.
Feeds it through.

Carra Jones now has got
Pritchard to her right
and feeds her in. Pritchard!

Into the box. Tight angle!

Heavy first touch!

Big, big tackle that!

Break! Break! Break!

Honestly, I'’m on
the edge of my seat here.

Lightfoot gets to the box!

Sits it and the keeper
makes a key save!

Hughes goes for the loose ball
and mishits it and, well...

Long-range shot comes back in!

It'’s in!

Wrexham are heading for defeat
in this, our first ever
Welsh Cup final,

but it'’s
the most honorable defeat that
you could possibly imagine.

- There is the final whistle.

Yeah, I really hope
they can lift their heads up

and not be disheartened
with how this game'’s finished,

because, my word,
what a performance
they'’ve put in

and how proud they'’ve made
all those Wrexham fans today.

Talking to lots
of the players afterwards,

you know,
I think they were frustrated

because they had played so well
and come away with nothing.

But there was
an enormous sense of pride,
enormous sense of like, well,

that'’s just laid down
a little bit of a marker
for next season

that this is a team
that can compete with
the very best in the country.

Listen, no fucking disgrace
in that performance whatsoever.

Finishing third
and making a cup final,
that'’s a fantastic achievement.

Certainly, first year,
but now the pressure'’s on.

We'’ve set our own standards.

We'’ve raised our own bar.

We'’ve gotta build on that
for next season.

Hello and welcome to
the SToK Cae Ras

as Wrexham entertain
Forest Green Rovers.

Today is the day
that Wrexham could be promoted,

but it'’s a little bit of
a long shot.

Ready for some maths?
Well, here we go.

Factor number one
is Wrexham have to beat
Forest Green Rovers.

Factor number two is that
MK Dons need to lose or draw
against Mansfield Town,

as long as Wrexham win
against Forest Green Rovers.

And factor number three is
Barrow need to lose or draw
against Gillingham

as long as Wrexham win
against Forest Green Rovers

and MK Dons lose or draw
against Mansfield Town.

All of these things
need to happen for Wrexham
to have enough points

that no other team
could bump them out of
the automatic promotion spot.

If MK Dons or Barrow
are victorious, then Wrexham
won'’t be promoted this week.

Make sense? Great.

What do you think? Should we
go to this game or not?

I don'’t know. It's almost
mathematically impossible.

Okay. Next one then?

Yeah. We'’ll go to the next one.
We'’ll go to the next one.

If we look after our own house,
then everything else
will follow.

We'’re going up today.
And if we don'’t, I owe you
a bottle of whiskey.

- I think we will.
Any team
in the top five

can drop points.

For the players,
it'’s a lot of pressure.

We'’ve had to grit it out.
It'’s going to be tough.

It would be nice to do it
two years in a row, wouldn'’t it?

- Yeah. Yeah.
- After waiting so long.

It'’s a big ask,
to be fair.

A few results have got to go
our way, haven'’t they?

And that'’s not usually
the Wrexham way.

Come on the boys, eh? Come on.

Yeah, good. Okay, nothing,
nothing gets handed to you.

And I really wanna reiterate,
we have gotta earn it today

with the level of
our fucking performance.

Nothing gets given.

Let'’s go
and fucking play with hunger

and fucking a real
fucking desire against these.

We'’ll fucking send them packing
with fuck all. Come on.

- Come on, lads!
- Come on.

- Come on, let'’s fucking go.
- Let'’s go.

Right from the start.

Wrexham!

And out come the teams,

Wrexham and Forest Green.

A terrific noise
from the Wrexham fans.

And this could be

a day of days for Wrexham.

But first and foremost,
it is no given.

That'’s the truth of the matter.

Don'’t be deceived
by Forest Green'’s
league position.

They are competitive.

Fucking hell. Come on, Wrexham!

Wrexham!
Wrexham! Wrexham! Wrexham!

And away we go.
Mullin pops it back
to Cleworth.

Wrexham! Wrexham!
Wrexham! Wrexham!

Here'’s Ryan Barnett,
knocking it long now.

Go on, Mulls! Go on, Mulls!

And it'’s cleared
over the top for Mullin.

Holding it up
on the right-hand side.
He'’s got a man touch tight.

Holds him off well though.
And lays it off for Barnett
who bursts past his man.

Sweeps in the cross.
Good header.
And away by Keogh for a corner.

Here comes the inswinger
from O'’Connor again,

and it'’s headed away from
the keeper.

Mullin from a tight angle,

stabs it back in,
it'’s blocked on the line!

Come on! Get in there!

Who is it?
I think that'’s Elliot Lee!

But brilliant for Mullin
to keep that alive.

And Lee lunged in.
And Wrexham have that big lead
in this massive match.

Wrexham!

Lots of nervous fans here
checking their phones.

They'’ll be looking
at the other games that
could impact upon us today.

And here comes MK Dons.

Dean! Oh, wow.

What a goal that is.
And that stings for Mansfield.
MK Dons lead 1-nil.

Jonny Williams
with a determined run.
It'’s Williams!

Saved by Farman.

Barrow living dangerously.
Gillingham nil, Barrow nil.

At this point,
the two games we need to go
our way are not going our way.

And Forest Green
are facing relegation,
so they'’ll continue to fight.

♪ Yeah, uh
We in this together ♪

♪ Yeah, we all got something
On the line ♪

♪ We all got something to defy ♪

♪ We all just living

♪ To the fullest, go
And never satisfy ♪

Go on then! We'’re having a look!

Lee from deep, cutting inside.

Wow.
But now here'’s Lee, running to
the edge of the area.

Plays it wide. McClean.
Under the bar!

And Mullin scores!

Yes! Get in there, my lad!
Fucking get in there!

Mullin'’s hundred-and-third!

And Cannon feeds it back
to the edge of the area.

O'’Connell shoots it on target.
It'’s a deflection!

- Yes! Come on!
- And it'’s three-nil!

O'’Connor swings it in.
O'’Connell climbs.
Can he flick it on?

Driven by Mullin.
Yes!

And it'’s four!

Wrexham are having a ball.

Wrexham!

At halftime,

we'’re comfortably ahead of
Forest Green.

Now all eyes are on
the other two matches that will
decide our fate today.

Andrews looking to take it
around the keeper.

He does! And scores.

The Bluebirds trail.
Gillingham 1, Barrow nil.

In for Boateng.

Hewitt! Goal.

Now, then. 1-1.

Game on.

So, the live table looks
rather tasty for us now.

Of course, we would be promoted
if the scores stay like this.

- Yeah.
- Ryan, things are
getting, you know...

I can'’t believe
we'’re not there. Fuck.

I mean, it wasn'’t, like,
a sure thing, you know?

It was a kind of,
"Yeah, it might happen,
it might not." You know?

I mean,
why do you think I'’m sitting
in Los Angeles, California,

and not in Wrexham, Wales?

Okay, call me later.
All right. All right,
miss you, love you. Bye.

- He'’s literally
shooting right now.
- Oh, my God.

He said he'’s standing there--
I know the directors, um--

And I told them to,
to give him a second.

And he'’s like, "I'm staring at
a camera right now."

We got
the start we wanted,

and we'’ve gotta really try
to take advantage of that.

Barnett sweeps it in
under the bar.

Easy clearance by Inniss,
but Lee brings it down
edge of the area.

Good tackle. Mullin hits it!
Big block, that.

Terrific block!

Mullin, I thought, was odds-on
to get his hat trick.

Any score updates, chaps?

None whatsoever.

Block on the edge
of the area by,

I think it was Inniss.

Won back by McClean.
Wrexham attacking again now.

Lee pokes it forward to Mullin,
edge of the area.

He hits a left-footed shot.

Easy take for the keeper.

There'’s a real
celebratory atmosphere here.

Something'’s gone on.

Masterson
inside the penalty area.

Can he deliver? Own goal!
It'’s double trouble for Barrow.

It'’s Gillingham 2, Barrow nil.

Into a scramble inside the box.

Another chance here.
It'’s Keillor-Dunn who scores!

Mansfield lead
by two goals to one.

Okay, Mansfield winning,
by the way.
Mansfield are winning 2-1.

- Okay, so that'’s good.
- And Barrow are losing.

So, we'’re up?
Oh, dear Lord, we'’re up.

Oh, Jackie,
how long have we got to go?

Still a long way to go
in the other matches,

- but we'’re
looking at two goals--
Oh, Andy.

You know, you should be
tempting fate more.

Events are turning our way,
the crowd is really roaring.

This will stir
the Wrexham players
to finish this game off.

Come on!

♪ When I get high
I get high on speed ♪

♪ Top fuel funny car'’s
A drug for me ♪

♪ My heart, my heart ♪

♪ Kickstart my heart ♪

McClean'’s got space.

He swings it in
towards Barnett.

Just beyond him. Barnett...

with a volley!

- What a goal!
- What a freaking goal!

Ryan Barnett hits a screamer!

What a goal.

What a screamer, Mark.
And the place erupts.

- Wrexham!
- Everyone'’s cheering again.
What'’s happening elsewhere?

Let'’s see. It's official.
Gillingham beat Barrow 3-nil.

Mansfield'’s got another goal.
They have made it 3-1.

You know what?
I don'’t wanna tempt fate,
but I think we'’re going up.

I think these 11,000 people
around us might just be right.

Yeah, the fans
are going mad here.

Think when
the gaffer took me off,
I turned round to the bench

and was asking
the scores because

we didn'’t actually pay
any attention, even at halftime.

The gaffer didn'’t mention it,
nobody spoke about it.

I think
just random fans
right behind my goal.

Asking, "What'’s the score?"
and they would--

You know,
they'’d give me a number, like.

I think
it was Mansfield'’s goal
to make it 3-1.

It was sort of
a Jesus Christ moment,

like, I didn'’t expect
that to happen today.

We are going
Say we are going up!

The crowd now, listen to this.

Lee helps it wide to McClean.

Drills it in. Marriott!

- Yes!
- Yes!

And sends it flying!
At last, he'’s got
that first goal of the season!

I'’m absolutely
delighted for him.

Yeah,
he'’s going crazy down there.

Mansfield is up 4-1
against the MK Dons,

and, um,
unless they score three goals
in 30 seconds, we'’re promoted.

We'’re promoted.

Plays it short to McClean.

We'’ve got a minute
of added time left.

So Wrexham

are now added time away

from securing
back-to-back promotions

for the first time
in our history.

The noise here, though.
I'’ve gotta say.

I can barely hear you, Mark.
Yeah.

A day of days
in Wrexham'’s history.

- And there is
the final whistle!
- And that'’s it! It's happened!

The fans are on the pitch!

Wrexham win,

and we are up.

Yes!

Whoo!

Fans from around the world
have paid their part in this.

Wrexham Football Club, wow.

- What a time to be alive, eh?
Yes!

Back-to-back promotions.

- This is special.
Oh, yeah.

Drink it in.
Enjoy yourselves tonight,
Wrexham fans,

because you don'’t see
back-to-back promotions
very often.

- Oh, my fucking God.
Unbelievable from Wrexham.

How on Earth
have we achieved this?

Mr. Reynolds, Mr. McElhenney,
I'’m sure you're watching.

Can we just say on behalf of
all Wrexham fans, thank you.

Thank you so much.

You know what'’s next, don't you?

- Back-to-back-to-back.

Oh, this town!

I think it'’s a truly
transformative achievement.

One season
back in the Football League,

you'’re moving up already
another level.

Back-to-back promotions

for the first time
in the club'’s 159-year history.

We'’re back to where we were
20 years ago.

Been a long, hard slog,
but what a fantastic season.

It was hard to think
that we'’d go up twice
and go back-to-back.

But the thing that Parky'’s done
with the club is amazing.

You know, the town
is united at the moment.

What'’s happening at
the football club is a catalyst
for something a bit bigger.

I think we'’re suddenly becoming
the best versions of ourselves.

You know,
'’cause this, for me, is

the best thing I'’ve been
a part of for a while.

You know, it was
a bit of an emotional day.

Another great day.

It'’s a big step up
to League One.
We'’re gonna struggle.

We'’ll find out where we are
in League One.

And I think, you know,
a couple of players coming to
the end of long contracts.

You know, you could
see them not being kept on.

The planning
for next season is ongoing.

There'’s a lot of work to be done
in the summer.

Uh, we'’ve got, um,
several players out of contract.

We haven'’t
ended up here by chance.

You know,
a lot of players going,
new players will be arriving.

But it'’s that
continued evolution that
the squad has to go through.

It feels harsh, and it'’s
never the easiest few days.

But everybody who'’s been inside
that dressing room

understands the journey
the football club'’s on.

The jump from League Two

to League One
is a harder challenge

than National League
into League Two.

And we'’ve got to be
prepared for that.

We'’ve got to, as a group,
make the right decisions

to keep the club progressing
in the right direction.

Yes, so last game
of the season, Stockport.

There is a little bit of needle
between Stockport and Wrexham.

Losing 5-nil to Stockport
early in the season

was one of our sort of
real shocks to the system.

Everyone wants to win today,
but we'’ve got the championship,

and that'’s what's
most important.

There'’s plenty for Wrexham
to prove against Stockport,

not least carrying this rivalry
into next season.

Go, Wrexham!

We'’re gonna tangle
with these guys next year.

You know, beating them at home
in front of our fans

seems like a great way
to end the season.

Uh, today'’s my first time

getting into
The Racecourse ever.

I'’m, you know, scared of crowds.

- I don'’t like loud noises.

The camera allows me--

It makes me feel like
I'’m allowed to be somewhere.

Just try and capture
the general atmosphere.
Rob'’s gonna be here.

So I'’ll just stand around
with all these other people

and just wait
very, very patiently.

- Bye, y'’all.
- Rob.

Bye.

Today is
just about pride, innit?

So it should be
a belter of a match.

- Oh, Luke'’s starting.
- Yeah.

So this Stockport game
is gonna be the last game
for some of these players

that they play or are involved
with Wrexham.

As here we go. Sarcevic.

We have just kicked off,
Stockport.

More of a tight press
high up the pitch.

And indeed,
O'’Connor gives it away.
Lovely footwork by Camps.

Gets past McClean
down the right. McClean'’s
in pursuit. He won'’t catch him.

Fed in nicely. A chance
for Lemonheigh to hit it...

And it'’s in!
Stockport take the lead.

That was excellent work
by Camps.

And championes
rings around the stadium.

♪ Championes, championes
Ole, ole, ole!♪

This is why I don'’t do crowds.

Going to Stockport,
Cannon wins it back.

The frantic start we'’d expect.
Barnett'’s gone outside him

and takes two defenders
with him.

Inside to Young.
He takes a touch,
gets in the box.

Great dribble by Young, and--
He tackles him.

And Palmer should'’ve scored.

Oh, my God!

Fucking hell, Ollie.

- How did that get saved?
- Just kick the ball
in the back of the net.

- Please!
Palmer should'’ve scored.

Palmer should'’ve scored.

- Hi, Rob. It'’s Brittney.
- Hi. How are you?

- Nice to see you again, Rob.
- It'’s so good to see you.

How'’s it going
over there at SToK?

So happy.
At the end of the day, it feels
like we'’re doing cool shit

- with cool people,
you know?
- Yeah.

- That feels good.
- That'’s what it
feels like to us.

- How did that get in there?
- Now this is--

Thanks to the good people
at VistaPrint and Ryan Reynolds.

- This-- No.
- Has it started again?

- Oh, my God. Wait.

We missed a goal!

If you'’ve been
paying attention, you know that

making the sponsors feel good
is important,

and I love Brittney,
but sometimes it gets
in the way of the football.

Ollie Palmer slams it home.

What a pass from O'’Connell.

Ollie! Ollie! Ollie! Ollie!

I didn'’t even know we restarted.

It came at a horrible height,

and he stooped
and headed it clear.

But that'’s a good ball by Young
to Cannon, helped on,

then feeds it inside.
Cleworth now involved.

It'’s a three-on-three.
And this time,
Cleworth with a good ball.

Cannon drills it...

- Wrexham!
- Yes!

Cannon slams it
through Hinchliffe'’s hands!

Andy Cannon
against his old club!

Andy Cannon scores a screamer!

Today, they are celebrating
up at the owners'’ box.

Wrexham!

Up the town, baby!

Come on! Let'’s finish it out!

I'’ll call you later.
Love you. Bye.

Can we close off the season
by beating the champions?

This is the last game.
So, yeah,

it'’s a very bittersweet occasion
for a lot of these guys.

You know, some,
I think, are reaching
the ends of their careers.

Some still have many more
fruitful years to enjoy.

Some are just at the start
of their careers.

Headed away to the edge
of the box by Cleworth.

Lemonheigh-Evans
tackled brilliantly by Young.

Luke Young,
who'’s been captain of this club.

He'’s been player of the season
on multiple occasions.

Played back behind Omotayo.
Young hits it low!

Hits the defender
and it'’s gone in!

I do wanna be playing.
I do feel like

I'’ve got a few more years in me
left yet to regularly play.

In view as much as I would
love to stay and still be
a part of this journey,

I'’ll have nothing but praise
to say about everything
involved with the club.

What a year to bow out and have
that success behind you.

And Ben Tozer
is on the bench,

who'’s been our captain
for the last couple of seasons
along with Luke.

You know, he was ever-present
in that National League season

when we got promoted.

When I came to the club,

my goal and ambition was
to get the club to League One

and to play a massive part
in doing that.

And to have achieved that,
for me, is incredible.

No bitterness whatsoever.

Just I understood
my role off the pitch.

And I feel like
I'’ve done that well.

Okonkwo knocks it long.

- And the 2023-2024 season ends.

Congrats, boys.
Well done. Well done.
Well done. See you next year.

Wrexham beat
the champions Stockport County
in a hell of a game.

And, of course, Stockport
won'’t be going anywhere.

This rivalry
is quite something.

Wrexham!

That refresh of players
that happens every summer

gets more difficult,
gets more complicated.

And, you know,
this summer is the hardest.

Because we'’re saying goodbye
to some absolutely
central figures

in that success.

You know, people like, um,
Rob Lainton, Jordan Tunnicliffe,

Callum McFadzean, Aaron Hayden.

It'’s been
a very memorable three years,

and I can now move on
to my next chapter.

I wish the club all the best
for the future.

Also, our star goalie,

Arthur Okonkwo,
his loan is over.

And we don'’t know
where he'’s gonna sign.

But the one thing
for certain is all those players
that Phil'’s spoken to

can be really proud
of the part that they'’ve
played on this journey.

They will
rightly wear the title
of kind of legend here.

I mean, they will always be part
of that double promotion team.

Without doubt.
- I hope that none of them
will ever have to buy a drink

within a hundred-mile radius
of the stadium.

There'’s already been a couple
of managers that rang me

about all the players
we'’ve let go, asking me
about them as people,

and obviously, they know
what they'’re like as players.

Um, so there'’s gonna be
a lot of opportunities for them.

But unfortunately, in football,
you'’ve got to evolve

and you'’ve got to keep
moving forward.

As a personal achievement,
this is big.

- It feels great to have
pushed past something.

- My heart is, like...

going.

We know
every ending is not going to be
perfect for every player.

And this is a business
where tough decisions
have to be made.

And regardless,
starting a new chapter is hard.

Congrats, man. Congrats.
I'’m so happy for you.

- I'’m coming. Yeah.
- Yeah?

- You drink?
- Yeah. I just had two shots.

But so many of them
will always be

a part of the great legacy
that is Wrexham.

You'’ve been here
from the very beginning, man.

- Nah.
- This is so incredible. So...

Yeah, to see what'’s been to--
Nah, that'’s class.

I'’m so happy
to see you, starring player.
Oh, my God. So happy.

Just a toast to everybody here.
The team behind the team
is so important.

And, you know, the success
would not have happened

without the strength
of the staff.

Cheers, everybody.
Thank you very much.

Yes. So while the lads
get sent to Vegas,

the coaching staff go on
a wild, barely controlled
weekend to Spain

to play a lot of golf and
start talking about next season.

Did you go with them?

Yeah. I'’m gonna
come to that in a second.

You got invited
to go to Marbella?

And I didn'’t?

Did you pay?

We'’ve come a long way, gents,
haven'’t we?

But we'’ve also got to evolve
and improve the squad,

because we'’re going
into a very competitive division

with a lot of big clubs.

A lot of clubs who'’ve
been in the Championship
in recent years.

For me, it'’s about from day one

when we get back, when Kev
starts testing the lads.

They come back fit,
come back motivated.

We always say that the week
is made by the result
of the weekend, isn'’t it?

So we'’re gonna do everything
we can to win,

because it lifts everybody
in Wrexham.

It lifts the staff,
and that'’s our job.

And it'’s about winning for me,
and that'’s what we gotta do.

And what are your predictions
for Wrexham in League One?

I'’m gonna say
they'’re gonna do it. I do.
I think they'’re gonna do it.

It'’s a whole new world.
League One can be an absolute
meat grinder of a league.

We'’re gonna have to fight
for every single point we get.

I don'’t think there will be
too many 6-nils on the cards
for us next season.

The one thing
you can'’t buy is momentum.

We'’ve got positivity
on our side.

We'’ve got everybody believing
we can be successful.

Can we go back-to-back-to-back?
Yes, we can.

It'’ll be harder for success
next year.

But you never know, do you,
with this club?

This is
a dare-to-dream scenario.

We'’re all in. We want blood,
and we want it now. Let'’s go.

You know, the whole world'’s
looking at Wrexham
at the moment.

It'’s an enormous amount
of pride, not only to
the club, to the city.

The football has changed
the city completely.

Um, not just on match days.

On every day for every single
person in the community,

whether they follow football
or not.

And the football has had
an impact on their lives
one way or another.

- Whoo!
League One

is going to be
a huge challenge for us.

But Wrexham
has never and will never
back down from a challenge.

They'’ve overcome 15 years
in the National League,

a terrible mining disaster,

personal challenges,

economic issues.

And while Wrexham
embraces its history,

it'’s always looking
to the future.

No team
at this level has ever gone
back-to-back-to-back,

but it doesn'’t mean
it can'’t be done.

I'’m excited
about League One.

But I also think
that there is enormous scope

to fuck this up
beyond all recognition.

Fabulous, this.
Absolutely fabulous, this.

They'’re kids
having a game of football
on the pitch.

Yeah. They'’re
having a great ol'’ time,
aren'’t they, those guys.

And still, those kids play--
Go on, son. Finish.

Oh, and what a tackle that was.
Did you see that
in front of the goal?

Oh! Great work.

Look at that.
What a challenge that was.

A proper Deryn Brace tackle,
that is.

They all look
about the same age,
fair play to them, don'’t they?

They do, don'’t they?
Future Wrexham players.

Just playing
football for the fun of it.

And that'’s how it should be.
