    Do you know about ' Welcome to Wrexham'

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welcome_to_Wrexham
    https://m.imdb.com/title/tt14674086/
    On Hulu
    As some of you know, early on I realized I was more a Follower than a Fan..
    https://fulhamusa.com/threads/essay-follower-not-a-fan-so-shoot-me.2098/
    I realized I was more interested in what went on in a team or club dynamics than in the results themselves.. (Why I am now as close to being a Bengals Fan as I ever was! Even as they lost to KC)
    My son tipped me onto this Hulu DocuDrama (Actually a true Reality show, but after Real Housewives, Pawn Stars, and Storage Wars, that leaves a bad taste).
    And I found it suits my interests nearly to a tee. It's a fascinating examination of English Football and deserves to be a Required Watch for any serious Social Studies course taught by a nonMarxist.
    Real People Real reactions. And addresses the uniting aspects of Club and Community. To wit.. Tribalism's positive ..and sometimes negative affects. PLUS Reynolds and McIlhenney are commercial geniuses
    Not only do they get a lot of their investment in the club paid back, but in a way that best leaves the club in a sustainable position, should they leave.
    At the foreseeable end, the club gets their ground back, the stands are rescued and much improved,
    But for how that comes about, you just have to watch and see. As it happens.
    I give it 4.9 stars

    Moderators: Feel free to move this to Miscellaneous. I would if I were still..
    I had to pick the category, and did so based on Wrexham results in the standings and FA cup
