All language subtitles for 1 1 Welcome.to.Wrexham.S05E08.480p

There's a reason they call it the
kairaf, or the racecourse.

In the early 1700s, the first horse race
was run on this ground.

The town first, 60 pounds.

It was Lord Stamford's horse, Belinda,
that won it.

Then, for over 150 years, people packed
in to bet on long shots,

to see who had the legs to finish.

The horses are long gone, but the spirit
of the final stretch has never

left.

And now, here we are.

In the final stretch of the season,
vying for a

single playoff spot against two
threatening teams.

Four points out of the top six, four
games to go.

Four massive games, four wins,
hopefully.

But if not, hopefully Hull can slip up.

Hull City have spent multiple years in
the Premier League.

They know what a promotion race looks
like.

They've been sitting in the top six for
weeks in the championship, while Wrexham

have struggled.

It's all about the next week.

We're ready to come back in to go again,
and you've got to keep finding the

solution.

Derby had the easier running.

Everyone knows it.

And they're one point back.

Three teams.

One spot.

Four matches left.

And win or lose, we go again.

Don't be afraid to cry now even when the
world comes crashing in.

Don't forget to sing when you win.

Don't forget to sing when you win.

You know, we've got Stoke City today.

They're a massive club. They've got
multi, multi, multi -million pound

and they're 16th. What would happen?

And who knows, if we win today, we keep
the dream alive for another week.

Yes, so just as a reminder, in the
Championship, three teams are promoted.

So the top two are promoted
automatically.

You then have three, four, five and six
who go into the playoffs.

Three play six, four play five.

The winners of those games play off in
the final at Wembley.

Wrexham are currently in seventh, one
place outside the playoffs, and we have

four games to get there.

The thing is, we're going to have our
best ever finish in the history of the

club. So I think it's between us and
Hull. But if we win today, and we win on

Tuesday, if we get to that last game of
the season, I'd fancy us together. Yeah,

can you imagine?

If we can sneak into the play -off, then
promotion to the Premier League is a

real possibility.

So, we're off to the races.

It's all about standards, isn't it? It's
what it's all about.

Raising standards again.

Getting back to where we've been.

Can we create an intensity and tempo and
physicality in the game? No, that's

really important. We're the fucking home
team. We've got to be physical.

We've got to fucking up the fucking ante
all over the fucking pitch. Can we, at

the end of the game, have ticked the
fucking boxes to up our performance

Let's see what it will take.

Hello and welcome to Wrexham for a huge
game.

I'm reluctant to say this, but I've got
to. Must win to have any hope, really,

of maintaining this exciting push.

towards the playoffs.

We look at the rest of the changes.

Danny Ward is back in goal ahead of
Arthur Okonkwo.

Oh!

Where's Okonkwo?

On the back of two defeats, it was
fairly obvious that we needed to change

something. Was expecting changes today.

Can't say I was expecting to defeat
Danny Ward, but there we go.

With Danny's experience, something to
make that real positive difference.

Phil Pymes has made that decision today.
He knows Wrexham really have to win

this game to really stay in that hunt of
those playoffs.

So Dobson floats in towards the penalty
spot. Lowell, good head of Rathbone,

brings it down, hits it, and it's
corners for Wrexham.

This is a great opportunity back at home
to turn things around.

Thomason sweeps it.

Wrexham take the lead.

It's a goal.

Surely this one will be given.

As a direct goal from a corner, Thomason
whacked it in.

Well, Windham, Windham dropped away,
going with his finger, so... I was

really confused that people were
questioning it. It was like everyone's

that it got given to me, but I was like,
but I scored it.

I made sure I got the goal because I got
a goal bonus.

Babies got to get fed, you know what I
mean?

Well, Waxham take the lead one way or
another.

And immediately, Bozuna knocks it long.

Doyle underneath it, heads over the top.
Windass will chase this.

Cresswell will have to act, and Windass
makes it.

And it's gone, yes!

Windass scores again!

Cresswell just got too close to his
keeper of the hit and back pass.

That one's definitely his, no doubt
about that.

Brilliant from Josh Windass.

Wrexham have got a 2 -0 lead, and
deservedly so.

It's so important that Wrexham keep that
lead. Don't give Stoke and a sniff

because that goal difference could play
a part in three games' time.

Big move, come on!

Here's Soma Thomas with a corner. Big
crowd in front of Ward. It's swept into

that area. Good punch by Ward.

Oh, brilliant, Wardy.

And there is the final whistle.

It wasn't classic, but a win's a win.
Still something to play for with a few

games past the season.

Wrexham have done our part of the
bargain. We've won.

Holt drawing at home to Birmingham.

Derby won earlier on, of course, to keep
the pressure on us and Holt.

Two -point gap between us and Holt.

It's all to play for, isn't it? It's all
to play for. I'd hate to be a Wrexham

fan because my little heart can't take
it anymore.

Professional performance today, boys.

I think you all know we needed that,
didn't we? We needed just a bit of

resilience about us as a team after the
last couple of defeats, but we bounced

back well.

What we don't want is to hand the
playoff position to the teams involved.

got to make them earn it. I wanted to
take this fight to the last minute of

last game.

And, you know, we've done that today.

So here we go again on Tuesday night and
let's see if we can build on this win.

Wrexham with a huge match against Oxford
side who are fighting for their lives.

Just because you're playing a team who's
a lot worse than us in the table, any

team in this league could win.

Cross comes in, Smith!

We have to win tonight to have a chance,
really.

Just wide, six yards out.

Three games left, three shots at pulling
something remarkable off.

With two points off the playoffs behind
Hull City, who are currently 0 -0

against Leicester.

If we win tonight and Hull City lose,
we'll get back into the final playoff

spot.

James chipping over the top, looking for
Smith. He's done well to get there

ahead of Hellick. Squares this window.
Stop!

Wraxham take the lead!

Yay!

What a fucking goal.

Wraxham!

I think after the Birmingham display, I
felt that maybe our tank had run dry.

You better fight for some more.

Final whistle.

A huge, huge win for Wraxham.

We'll never stop fighting. Hull never
stop fighting.

Everything's back on again.

Leicester and Hull 2 -2.

So that puts Braxton in the top six on
goal difference.

That was a massive win because we'd be
in touching distance of the playoffs.

Josh Wendat is a stone -cold killer.

Killer's going to kill.

That's what I always text him.

Without that goal, that match would have
been a draw.

Do you feel certain pride in those
moments?

Oh, no, I never think like that.

No, I never have a thing. I don't go on
the bus thinking, oh, if I weren't there

today, we'd have drawn. I can't score
without ten other guys.

And they can't do stuff without me, so
it's a collective.

Anna and Liv are two centre midfielders.
Cara and Faye are two winners.

We are excited, have been excited over
these last few months.

To be at the top of the table is exactly
where we wanted to be.

Jenny coming in has brought another
level of

professionalism. She's an incredible
leader.

I think the successes from the team,
what we've achieved, I think a huge

for that is the environment that Jen
creates.

Are they going to break that line with a
passion? We're all incredibly together

and we all want to fight for each other.

We've broken all sorts of records this
year.

You know, there's all these things that
we're doing that are first.

And go!

Lifting the first ever silverware for
the class.

But the important thing that matters is
that league title.

I think it's going to be a great end to
the season at the racecourse against

Cardiff. The idea that in her first
season Jenny Sugarman could win the

title, it would just be a phenomenal
coaching job.

Who'd have thought we'd have seen all
these people coming to watch the women's

team? Amazing.

If Wrexham win today, we will be the
champions of Wales.

First team, any Wrexham team, to do
that.

Cardiff, however, are a team I have
immense respect for and they will do

everything they can to poop this party.

Cardiff, you know, we've been neck and
neck all season. We've been challenging

each other all season.

They've won the league for multiple
years for a reason. They are very, very

good.

You know, Cardiff are reigning
champions, so, you know, like I said,

challenge to overcome them and defeat
them.

Over the last decade, Cardiff has
dominated, and we want to change that.

We want to be the best in the world.

OK, let's go. Come together.

I've seen a lot of history awaits.

Well, I'm afraid it's bollocks, because
you have to go and write your own

history. History does not await for
anybody.

You get to write how this chapter ends.

Team on me, team on three.

One, two, three!

As we get things underway.

Cardiff repel the first ball forwards.

Slices it towards the edge of her own
area, Billingham.

Cook goes down in the D free kick, in a
shooting position.

Ashley Michaela -Cock is going to take
this.

Edge of the area, drills it in.

Cardiff take an early lead, six minutes,
just a start we didn't want.

The first 45 minutes, it wasn't working
for whatever reason.

It could have been a moment of, here we
go again, this is going to be real

hard graft.

Oh, she's been a mess of a goal kick
here.

Oh,

that was a ludicrous mess

from Cardiff.

KB gone and got us back into the game,
doing what she does.

And we just turned the switch.

Parker turns and beats Bowen from the
throw and then takes on another. Can she

get the hat -trick? Oh, is that a
penalty?

Yeah! Penalty!

Parker right for it.

Hat -trick! His second hat -trick and
she goes absolutely crazy.

Wrexham have put on an absolute show.

And there is the final whistle. Lizzie
Freeman sprints off her line to

celebrate.

Wrexham, champions of Wales.

We have four teams.

Courageous, committed, controlled,
creative.

We have four new fucking teams.

Carnage City, struggle to the champion.

I'm not even sure where to begin after
that. But Wrexham are the champions of

Wales. Just how good does that sound?

Oh, yeah, it's just brilliant.

It's just brilliant.

The fact they won the league, it's
really been a crowning achievement, I

for the club and for the town.

The winning team is growing at a pace
that is unbelievable.

And we're just thrilled, just utterly
thrilled.

They are the story of the year.

They were not in that league a few years
ago. They worked their way into the

league. They then worked their way up
the league in one year and then won the

league and got themselves in a position
to be in the Champions League.

And to see what Jenny Sugarman has done
with that club has been nothing short of

miraculous.

We've managed to get through all of the
teddies and start hats now.

The club's given me 170 shirts to make
hats with.

There we are.

They're amazing.

Love them. You have to rock it. Like,
yeah!

The football stadium, they were really
happy. And I think they want to help me

to do more.

Okay, let's try it.

So the hat, we took 20 hats last week
and seven of those.

Me and Ali have been on scrunchies and
tilt backs.

She's probably like, they're filming me,
they're shooting me. I can't answer my

phone.

Call fails.

Should I try again?

All right, Jim.

Put it on loudspeak, Jim.

Who is it?

There's someone there.

Hello? Hi, Gemma. It's Rob Macklin for
XMASC.

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

How are you?

I'm OK.

Nervous now.

And excited. Oh, yeah?

Wow!

I've gone all red.

Have I gone red?

I just want to let you know...

Your segment from the documentary.

And I thought it was really beautiful.

And I wanted to ask you a few questions
about the bears. How many have you made

so far?

So we've made 20 of them, of the little
bear.

I was wondering if you have the ability
to maybe scale up a little bit and make

a few more. Do you think you could make
a few more?

Yes.

Great. Can you make 1 ,000 by next
Christmas?

Is that possible?

It will be.

Okay.

I like that. You didn't even blink.
There wasn't a breath.

I love it. I thought there was going to
be a pause. I thought there was going to

be a question.

Nope, just yes.

No, I'm too ADHD and I am just sat here.
I think the sweat's actually coming off

my head.

I'm red.

So ideally, we can have them ready for
next Christmas and then we can give them

out to hospitals.

Anywhere where people are interested.

Oh, my God.

I've got tears in my eyes now.

That is mental.

That is mental. Thank you so much.

We know it's going to be a race to the
finish, so let us know if there's

anything that we can do to help. We want
to help in any way we can.

I'll see you next time I come out to
wreck them.

Okay, bye. Thank you. Bye -bye.

Oh, Lindsay.

What did you do that for?

Because of the background that I've got,
it's been a bit of a struggle to get

people to trust me again.

I remember the drugs and the drink and I
remember what everyone said about me.

And I get it, I get it.

I've lost myself over the years and now
I've found myself again.

And now I'm back with a vengeance.

and I ain't stopping, like, everyone
that said, oh, you can't do that, I've

basically done it.

I hope people see my story and think,
well, bloody hell, if she's done it,

we can do it.

Oh, my God!

Hello and welcome to Wrexham at Coventry
City.

We are at Coventry City's league title
party and

goodness me, they are ready to have a
party. But while this is a huge match

them, it's a massive, massive match for
Wrexham. Back in our hands.

So, here we go, there's only one way to
find out.

It is relevant that goal difference
could be crucial here. We could actually

this weekend in a worse position than we
went into it because Hull lost by one.

If we lose by more than one, Hull have
actually gained on us this weekend.

Mason Clarke taking on Gaboric. Flugs
in. Dangerous lead.

What now?

Oh, that was quality.

No point in arguing against that.

And Wrexham have to fight back.

There's an interesting game where we can
see they got back into the game with

Rathbone and scored brilliantly.

Then we've hit the post.

Sam's had the 1v1.

And we've had some really good chances
in the game.

And conceded right towards the end from
a free kick.

And obviously last minutes of the game.

Wrexham lose 3 -1 to the Champions
Coventry.

And, well, we have ended up
frustratingly conceding two goals.

With these kinds of narrow margins, we
really are looking at a photo finish

on Saturday.

It's never over till it's over. Never
leave Wrexham's season early.

We go again next Saturday.

Hopefully we'll get three points against
Middlesbrough and get into the play

-off.

Well, I think I'm going to get the lamb.

You okay?

Is that nice?

Do you guys understand what's happening
with this game, what it means for them,

and what that means for the whole club?

He explains it to me, and I think it's
going to take a few times, because I

didn't know anything about soccer until
I met Josh.

It's amazing to know somebody that's in
a professional sport, and then to see

them succeed.

I mean, I follow every article. Yeah, he
made a spreadsheet of how the games are

going to go.

I'm a finance guy, so I have a
spreadsheet, you know.

He said, what was your prediction?

For this week? 2 -1.

2 -1. 2 -1.

Victory, of course. Yeah.

Do you think the season's gone as you
expected?

Well, if we get promoted, yeah. Because
when we signed, me and Daniel spoke

about it. That's what I came here to do.

Obviously, I hope we can do it. Get in
the playoffs.

To every child's dream, it's cringy, but
it's every single football player's

dream to play at that level.

I've got a lot of friends who've done it
who I obviously believe I'm better

than, so I'm always a little bit bitter.

Yeah, it's kind of getting a bit more
realistic now I've come here.

It is a big game on Saturday, though,
you can be honest.

Yeah, it is a big game, I'm not going to
lie. But if you treat it too much as a

big game, it can weigh on you.

Yeah, obviously when you first come and
everyone tells you about every year they

get promoted.

You don't want to be the jinx.

That's how I want to get promoted. I
don't want to be the player who's come

they haven't. These boys have done
incredible and they've created a winning

culture. Ultimately, they've created a
winning culture with the manager.

And you don't want to be one part of the
culture. That switches and you start

losing.

To a very successful season so far. To a
win.

Cheers. Thank you.

Cheers.

Yay!

So going into the last game, we're sixth
in the table.

If we beat Middlesbrough, then Derby can
no longer get into the playoffs.

If we beat Middlesbrough and Hull beat
Norwich, then Hull have to beat Norwich

by at least one more goal than we beat
Middlesbrough. At which stage, if they

achieve that, they've probably earned
it.

But if we lose our draw against
Middlesbrough, then Hull and Derby also

lose our draw in order for us to stay in
sixth place.

So the fundamental principle is erect
some win and everything should be OK and

the club get to the playoffs.

Oh, I always knew it would come down to
the very last game. There's 45

games... I know. ..and it comes down to
the last game.

Extra squeaky bum time!

The mood going into the Middlesbrough
game was a combination of belief and

nervousness. that it's actually slightly
out of our control.

We could just do what we can do, and
what will be, will be.

Such a good final day of the season. I
mean, you couldn't have written this.

It's a three -horse race.

We're in, at the moment, we're in the
pole position.

It's going to be one hell of a day.

If you're not playing today, come sit
next to me. I will. I may as well. Bring

your heart rate monitor.

I will.

It's been bonkers. Yeah, I'd rather be
mid -table and having a nice, easy last

game of the season.

But this is Wrexham, isn't it? We don't
do things normal.

We're going to win 2 -1.

You said 5 -0 before.

All right.

Absolutely massive.

Biggest game of the season by a country
mile.

Unless everything goes well and then the
next game's the biggest. And then the

game after that, there's no telling what
could happen.

I'm just excited that we've got someone
to play for. Yeah.

I think what's going to give me the
biggest buzz is when the lads behind me

checking their phones and, like, you
know, if Hull have scored, if Derby have

scored. I actually think this might be
one of the best days we've had here,

regardless of the result.

I'm stressed beyond belief. I didn't
sleep last night.

Let's hope we win. I've also, just for
good luck, Claire, have got it on.

Oh, nice.

It's probably the biggest game in the
history of Wrexham FC.

Let's see what happens.

I got up at 4 a .m. It was their 12 .30
game in the U .K.

And I woke up my son, Axel, as per our
tradition, and we went downstairs.

4 a .m.

We turn on the game because we know
anything can happen at any time. And if

mathematically have a chance, then
you've got a chance.

As soon as Dobbo's in, we'll just have a
quick chat.

Yeah, okay, boys.

Key points for our performance today. I
think it's important, boys, that we

block out the crowd in terms of what's
going on elsewhere and we just focus on

what we've got to do today.

We had full belief going into that game
that we'd beat Middlesbrough because

there was nobody in the whole club that
didn't believe we were getting in that

top six.

I've based these key points a bit on
what Middlesbrough are all about but

the best performances of the season at
home.

If we were to do it...

It'd be incredible.

I'm sure the whole town and the whole
place would erupt.

But to make it with Wrexham, with a
Welsh team, would just be the icing on

cake. It would be a special, special
achievement.

Most important thing is let's go and
enjoy the day.

Enjoy the day. But enjoy the day by
putting a really strong performance in

together. That's what today's all about.
I want us to enjoy the challenge of

that. We've worked incredibly hard to
get here. Let's show them fucking relish

it, boys. Come on, boys, let's go.

Welcome to Wrexham against
Middlesbrough, the highest of high

This football club has never been close
to getting in the top division, but

today that dream could take a huge step
closer.

Can Wrexham do it?

The belief comes back. We've got players
coming back from injury.

You're looking at it thinking we could
potentially do this.

It's going to be exciting.

It just feels different at this stage of
the season because you know what the

ramifications are. We can do it and we
will do it.

When people believe in their mission and
these people believe in their mission,

you've got to go for it. You've got to
go for it. So I think that's what we're

going to do.

And so just go out there and shock the
world.

Such a big match.

The spotlight's on the team. The
pressure's never been higher.

That's Wrexham.

That's how it's always been. It just
always seems to come down to the wire.

Hold on to your wigs and keys.

It's time for the biggest league game in
our history.

Away we go.

No way.

And I hear the medals were on the fast
break.

It's Calum Bretton. He feeds it into the
button. It's in! It's in!

It's in!

Oh, what a disastrous start for Wrexham.

No!

Oh, my God, no!

Conway, the Scotland international,
lunging in.

And Wrexham will be allowed to go.

I can see that Derby County just scored
versus Sheffield United.

That's going to make it even harder for
Wrexham to get back into the playoff

positions.

Wow, this is a disastrous start to the
day for Wrexham.

But like you say, plenty of time. This
place needs to just make sure it stays

loud and gets behind this Wrexham team.

Fans are already making noise to
encourage them.

Back on edge of the D. Hits it.

Good effort for Tuesday.

Wrecks and press hard. Smith -Jones, he
fouled on the edge of the O.

He has given it. The ref thought about
it.

Have we scored a direct free kick this
season?

Don't think we have, have we?

And Windash.

Rips it over the wall.

Well, wow, just wow.

The informed man for Exum has just put
it in the postage stamp from 30 yards.

And just listen to that race course
roar.

Well, it's still not over.

They're only left for Exum in the
seventh place behind Derby County.

We need another goal to get back into
that playoff spot.

He's going to get another one.

He's going to get another one.

End swinger, swept under the bar
dangerously and bounces around loose.

The lords relieved to grab hold of that.
That was wild.

Good ball forward as target looks to
feed it in. Cabore crosses the halfway

now. Gennes only plays up with him
though. He drives, driving forward,

off Morris. Target ties it in.

And it puts Wrexham back in the
playoffs!

Yes!

All I had to do was take a piss.

And it's 1 -0 between Hull and Norwich.
Still 1 -0 to Derby.

So if everything stays as it is, Wrexham
are in the playoffs.

Oh, man.

This is fun.

And even that one man on the box is Sam
Smith. It seems like there's a

possibility. Here now come Middlesbrough
down the other end.

It's pulled back by target, early cross
by Gomes, a great one, 2 -2!

A great finish by Strelitz!

Brilliant cross and Wrexham will be
disappointed that we didn't pick up in

middle and Strelitz six yards out.

This is so disappointing.

Wrexham were only back in those playoff
spots for just two minutes.

But we still have the entire second half
to try and get back there.

We're into the second half now and this
game doesn't look to be going anywhere.

But elsewhere, it's really kicking off.
We've got good news and bad news.

Sheffield United have taken the lead
against Derby. So, as things stand, it

looks like Derby are out of contention.
We don't have to worry about them.

But, hope of taking the lead. And today,
leapfrog us in the table. We need to

score or our season ends today.

It's time now to take risks, isn't it?

Thomas and Insight.

To Broadhead. He turns on the left flank
back to Windhouse. Corner of the box.

Floats it in nice shape. And Smith hits
it into the ground. Unlucky.

That's the one Sam made last year.

And now Broadhead is running at the last
defender. He gets into the box. Tight

angle. Pulling back to Windhouse. He
does.

Windhouse. Right footed. What a hell of
a job.

How have we not put that in? How have
they not scored more goals today? I'm

quite sure.

Tackled by Doyle. Gets to the edge of
the area. Crouch down to the chute. He

bites Moore. Moore fakes the chute and
then overhits the fastball. Thomason

gives it a line.

Good chance. Oh, and Smith couldn't
control it properly.

Huge flop.

Five added minutes for Raxham to keep
this going.

Five minutes is plenty in terms of long.

Can Raxham do the improbable?

Thomason signals.

Sweeps into the far post. Too much of
it. Don't step it alive.

Warheads are on. Hell, my friend.

Oh, we've got to stay.

We have a minute left.

Oh, kitchen strength.

Danny Ward's up there.

Thomason, put it in flat.

Headed partly clear. Back it up.

I'm actually looking for a hero.

No, no, no. This has got to be it.

25 seconds left. Windup, stand it over
the top. Fry, heads are clear. Smith

tried one in behind.

Wrexham, I've got four on four here now.
Early to win that and more. Left side

of the box. Driving home.

Oh, he's lashed it well over. Fucking
hell.

We have had the five minutes and that is
full time. We have drawn here. An

outstanding effort by Wrexham.

And now we are waiting for the other
results.

The Derby game, well, it's over for
them. But Hull are still leading 2 -1.

But what a season we have had. What a
performance by this Wrexham team. And

entire stadium is staying behind to
acknowledge them, regardless of the

We gave it one hell of a good goal.

But this team has done us proud.

These players have done us proud.

This club has done us proud. And we will
go again next season.

And we will be stronger than this
season. There's no doubt about that.

And Hull have won. Our season is over,
but the journey most definitely

is not. This is a team to be proud of
and a club that continues to go

I'm so proud of the boys. I'm so proud
of the entire staff.

It wrecks them.

Disappointed a little bit?

Disappointed? Not at all.

No.

Disappointed at the moment, but... You
can't be mad at the way they play.

Yeah. With the chances we had, you know
what I mean? It was so close, wasn't it?

Frustrating.

But a few days and then I think we'll
look back and go, it's been a successful

season. It's just obviously not ended
the way we wanted to.

It's disappointing, but we may feel like
we fell short now, but it'll only leave

us in good stead in the, you know, next
season.

Um, yeah.

So close, but it is what it is.

So close, but obviously not meant to be.

But, you know, we go again.

We gave a lot, didn't we?

I can't lie, I didn't want it to end,
but of course now it has.

Yeah, it was just gutting.

I watched that chance ten times.

What were you thinking when you watched
it?

Idiot.

Idiot. Just score.

I find satisfaction hard to come by.

What do you think the future holds for
Wrexham?

Premier League.

It feels a lot like our first year.

I just had this eerie feeling like I had
just been there.

Okay, here we go. It was the same exact
setup for our first season.

We were right on the cusp of getting
into the playoffs, and we lost.

You know, I looked a little bit older.

The house looked exactly the same.

The animals looked the same.

A little older, a little heavier.

A little older, a little heavier.

What do you know?

But my son, first season, he was a
little boy, three and a half feet tall.

Maybe make it to the playoffs next year?

Yeah, we got to figure out a way to get
out of the National League, that's for

sure.

Why? The National League is our style.

You said the National League was our
style.

I did?

Yeah. I still remember saying that.

No.

There's a continuity to the whole
experience of the passing on of

generations, and we're just at the start
of ours. My father is a huge fan of the

club, and it's bonded us together
because it gives us something to talk

and something to emote around.

But mostly, it's because it's a
generational experience.

And I'm watching time pass through my
son's eyes, and my son's eyes are

Rexham. And it's been like that for 160
years.

Okay, what's your prediction for where
we finish next year in the table?

First place.

First place? Mm -hmm.

I like your confidence.

This is not a one -year plan.

It's not a one -year plan. It's
fascinating to me, and it just shows how

we are just cycling on to the next
season, which is both good and bad.

It's bad insofar as our lives are just
flying by.

But it gives us another opportunity very
soon to come back and to continue the

march forward, which is what we're
doing.

We go again.

See you next year, Dad.

See you next year.

So much changes.

But the club always remains.

We are in motion.

Nothing has ended. It's not going to
end.

It will go on and on and on. And the
only thing that we can hope for are

moments of great triumph and
unfortunately, great tragedy.

Because that's the entire experience.

There's a common denominator for people
who win. It is that they go out there

and take some swings to do something
meaningful. And, yeah, sometimes they

The whole thing doesn't work without
failure.

It hurts.

So, what are you going to do? Get up.

News has done the world of football this
evening. You would have heard about

Spygate. Spygate scandal.

Southampton have been expelled from
Saturday's championship playoff final.

Southampton admitted to the unauthorised
filming of other clubs' training.

The spy who stood behind this tree, he
was spotted, packed up his equipment.

and hot -footed to the nearby golf club,
where he changed his appearance. He

then fled and made his escape right up
through the private land.

When we first heard that this had gone
on, I'm so home, and you look and you

what the fuck?

We all know the prize of getting
promoted to the Premier League.

Southampton have obviously decided to
try and gain whatever advantage they

that wouldn't normally be available,
unless they simply cheated.

If Southampton were thrown out of the
play -off...

We finished 7th.

So logic would say we'd be the next team
in.

There will be a new participant in the
EFL Championship.

Well, the effect of today's order is
that Middlesbrough are reinstated into

2026 playoffs.

They lost, of course, over two legs to
Southampton in the semi -final. They're

back in. It will be Hull City versus
Middlesbrough on Saturday.

The EFL were hoping that Middlesbrough
would win and there would be problems

solved. Definitely.

Which it never happened and they had a
big problem.

Yeah. We're going to, you know.

Just have to accept it.

I think it will be a straightforward 3
-1 Middlesbrough win.

Right

at

the end.

And the tears are beginning to flow in
the Middlesbrough end.

Hull City are the first side in the
championship since Blackpool 16 years

be promoted having finished 6th.
