1
00:00:09,748 --> 00:00:11,881
£5, please.
Thanks for waiting.
2
00:00:12,012 --> 00:00:14,666
Sausage, no butter,
red sauce.
3
00:00:18,540 --> 00:00:19,889
Hi, Rob.
How are you doing, mate?
4
00:00:19,976 --> 00:00:21,325
You okay?
- Very good. Yourself?
5
00:00:21,499 --> 00:00:23,284
Not bad, not bad.
6
00:00:23,414 --> 00:00:26,417
The games
that happened with--with--
7
00:00:26,548 --> 00:00:28,071
you know, later on
and that run we've been on...
8
00:00:28,202 --> 00:00:29,551
Oh, the run.
Yeah. Absolutely.
9
00:00:29,725 --> 00:00:30,595
Is absolutely phenomenal.
10
00:00:35,557 --> 00:00:38,125
Everywhere I go now,
people just talk about,
11
00:00:38,299 --> 00:00:40,127
"Oh, where you from?"
"Wrexham." "Oh."
12
00:00:40,214 --> 00:00:41,563
- Yeah.
- "Rob and Ryan got
13
00:00:41,693 --> 00:00:43,347
the football club---
bought the football club up."
14
00:00:43,478 --> 00:00:46,002
October, November,
December time,
15
00:00:46,133 --> 00:00:47,351
we probably weren't
particularly happy
16
00:00:47,482 --> 00:00:48,657
with how we were doing,
17
00:00:48,787 --> 00:00:50,702
but this run
that we've gone on now,
18
00:00:50,789 --> 00:00:52,574
everything's--
everything's looking...
19
00:00:52,704 --> 00:00:54,097
great.
Yeah.
20
00:00:54,228 --> 00:00:55,272
Suck balls.
We're gonna lose.
21
00:00:55,359 --> 00:00:56,578
I'm telling you,
on Sunday,
22
00:00:56,752 --> 00:00:58,797
they're gonna lose that game
in hand.
23
00:00:58,928 --> 00:01:00,147
And Wrexham's gonna go boom.
24
00:01:00,277 --> 00:01:01,061
'Cause there's been so many
25
00:01:01,148 --> 00:01:02,932
twists and turns this season.
26
00:01:03,019 --> 00:01:04,412
I just think there's got
to be another one.
27
00:01:06,718 --> 00:01:07,937
BUDDY HOLLY [singing]:
Every day
28
00:01:08,024 --> 00:01:10,026
It's a-getting closer
29
00:01:10,157 --> 00:01:13,508
Going faster
than a roller coaster
30
00:01:13,595 --> 00:01:18,469
Love like yours
will surely come my way
31
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,950
A-hey, a-hey-hey
32
00:01:21,037 --> 00:01:24,475
Every day,
it's a-getting faster
33
00:01:24,606 --> 00:01:28,262
Everyone said,
"Go ahead and ask her"
34
00:01:28,392 --> 00:01:32,527
Love like yours
will surely come my way
35
00:01:32,614 --> 00:01:35,182
A-hey, a-hey-hey
36
00:01:35,269 --> 00:01:41,188
Love like yours
will surely come my way
37
00:01:48,412 --> 00:01:50,066
2 1/2 minutes, one touch.
38
00:01:50,197 --> 00:01:52,503
See if we can get it going.
39
00:01:52,634 --> 00:01:55,724
Got to play with some
fucking energy tomorrow.
40
00:01:55,854 --> 00:01:57,204
Wrexham are in
the playoffs, come what may.
41
00:01:57,334 --> 00:01:59,293
Stockport currently sit
42
00:01:59,423 --> 00:02:01,643
at the top of the table
by 3 points.
43
00:02:01,817 --> 00:02:04,515
They've got two games left
after they play us.
44
00:02:04,646 --> 00:02:06,778
We've only got one game left
after we play them,
45
00:02:06,865 --> 00:02:08,432
so we can add
a maximum of 6 points.
46
00:02:08,606 --> 00:02:11,087
They can add
a maximum of 9 points.
47
00:02:11,218 --> 00:02:12,871
If we beat them
and they drop points
48
00:02:13,002 --> 00:02:14,221
in their last two games,
49
00:02:14,351 --> 00:02:15,744
we've got an opportunity
50
00:02:15,874 --> 00:02:17,746
to push them
right to the wire.
51
00:02:17,876 --> 00:02:19,661
No one's expecting us
to do it,
52
00:02:19,835 --> 00:02:22,229
so that, in some ways,
makes it a bit easier, I think.
53
00:02:22,403 --> 00:02:24,100
The underdog.
Back to being the underdogs.
54
00:02:24,231 --> 00:02:25,797
How about that?
Yeah.
55
00:02:25,884 --> 00:02:27,886
I'm excited.
I'm looking forward to it.
56
00:02:28,060 --> 00:02:29,932
This is what--you couldn't ask
for a better last home game
57
00:02:30,019 --> 00:02:31,586
of the season, in a way.
58
00:02:33,109 --> 00:02:36,678
If we don't win the league,
I'll miss my stag do.
59
00:02:41,683 --> 00:02:44,033
And if we get
into the playoff final,
60
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:45,991
I could miss my wedding.
61
00:02:46,122 --> 00:02:48,255
That's if we don't
get first spot,
62
00:02:48,385 --> 00:02:50,126
which I'm very confident
we will.
63
00:02:50,257 --> 00:02:51,562
If you can't get excited
about a game like this,
64
00:02:51,693 --> 00:02:53,782
I don't know--what are you
doing in football?
65
00:03:04,140 --> 00:03:06,273
Hi.
This is not good content.
66
00:03:11,495 --> 00:03:14,150
Today, obviously,
we play Stockport at home,
67
00:03:14,324 --> 00:03:18,241
which a much-anticipated game,
a huge game for us.
68
00:03:18,372 --> 00:03:19,590
Very hands-on,
especially at the moment,
69
00:03:19,721 --> 00:03:21,288
'cause obviously,
we're selling merchandise
70
00:03:21,462 --> 00:03:22,941
for Wembley as well.
71
00:03:23,115 --> 00:03:24,291
I do all tickets
and scanners,
72
00:03:24,421 --> 00:03:26,380
setting them all up,
making sure they work.
73
00:03:26,510 --> 00:03:28,730
Big game, complete sellout.
74
00:03:28,860 --> 00:03:30,862
Stockport could potentially
win the league here,
75
00:03:30,949 --> 00:03:31,994
which we're not
going to allow to happen.
76
00:03:35,258 --> 00:03:36,825
Excited, anxious, nervous.
77
00:03:36,955 --> 00:03:39,001
I couldn't sleep last night,
bouncing around all morning.
78
00:03:39,088 --> 00:03:40,655
We have to win.
79
00:03:40,742 --> 00:03:41,525
It almost feels like
a bit of a Hollywood
80
00:03:41,699 --> 00:03:43,397
potential ending to it all.
81
00:03:43,527 --> 00:03:45,616
We need to get this place today
filled with Wrexham fans
82
00:03:45,790 --> 00:03:47,618
as quick as we can
so no away fans try and get in.
83
00:03:47,749 --> 00:03:49,403
Halftime,
get yourself some dinner.
84
00:03:49,577 --> 00:03:50,404
I don't want to see anybody
sitting round.
85
00:03:50,534 --> 00:03:51,753
After ten minutes,
I want to see--
86
00:03:51,883 --> 00:03:53,189
no drinking, please.
87
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:54,756
You shouldn't be drinking
at halftime.
88
00:03:54,843 --> 00:03:56,540
Probably gonna have
20, 30, 40 people staying in.
89
00:03:56,671 --> 00:03:58,325
So you're gonna remain steady.
90
00:03:58,412 --> 00:03:59,978
So one or two of you
focus on the glasses.
91
00:04:00,152 --> 00:04:02,198
One or two focus on serving.
92
00:04:02,329 --> 00:04:02,981
And the rest of you
get the fridges filled,
93
00:04:03,112 --> 00:04:04,418
toilets bleached and cleaned,
94
00:04:04,548 --> 00:04:05,245
and then stock back up, yeah?
Right.
95
00:04:06,898 --> 00:04:08,552
Hi, lads.
96
00:04:08,726 --> 00:04:09,684
Come on, Wrexham.
97
00:04:09,858 --> 00:04:11,468
Don't fuck it up.
98
00:04:11,555 --> 00:04:13,340
Here we go, we're off
to the Stockport game.
99
00:04:13,470 --> 00:04:14,993
No mercy.
100
00:04:15,124 --> 00:04:17,866
Today's match,
it is a significant one.
101
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:19,694
We expect Wrexham Town Centre
to be really busy as well.
102
00:04:21,783 --> 00:04:23,001
Today we've had
a really significant
103
00:04:23,175 --> 00:04:24,568
policing operation around it.
104
00:04:24,699 --> 00:04:27,005
It's what we consider
a high-risk football match.
105
00:04:27,179 --> 00:04:29,007
So we have put a lot of
resource in--in Wrexham today.
106
00:04:31,009 --> 00:04:32,794
There's gonna be
more supporters, more fans.
107
00:04:32,881 --> 00:04:34,274
Gonna need probably
a bigger police presence,
108
00:04:34,361 --> 00:04:35,362
bigger crowds
arriving in a town
109
00:04:35,492 --> 00:04:36,711
like Wrexham as well.
110
00:04:36,798 --> 00:04:38,103
I don't predict
it's gonna be
111
00:04:38,234 --> 00:04:39,366
a quiet Sunday afternoon, no.
112
00:04:41,585 --> 00:04:43,587
We're flying,
providing an aerial view
113
00:04:43,718 --> 00:04:45,459
of everything that's happening
on the ground,
114
00:04:45,589 --> 00:04:47,548
looking at the movement
of crowds
115
00:04:47,678 --> 00:04:48,940
and the movement
of police resources.
116
00:04:50,246 --> 00:04:52,030
They're expecting
the away fans to arrive
117
00:04:52,161 --> 00:04:54,250
at Wrexham General Station.
118
00:04:55,599 --> 00:04:56,818
Mind the gap, please.
119
00:04:59,386 --> 00:05:00,517
The Wrexham fans
have pushed on.
120
00:05:22,060 --> 00:05:24,411
- Who wants a beer?
- Yay!
121
00:05:32,723 --> 00:05:34,725
Rob and Ryan,
this is a message for you
122
00:05:34,856 --> 00:05:36,510
from the best beard in Wales
123
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,642
to the best football club
in Wales:
124
00:05:38,816 --> 00:05:39,991
come on the town!
125
00:05:40,165 --> 00:05:42,559
Let's go!
126
00:05:45,345 --> 00:05:46,998
This is Wrexham, this.
127
00:06:15,418 --> 00:06:18,203
Physicality, intensity,
sprint into the ball,
128
00:06:18,334 --> 00:06:19,901
and make them play backwards.
129
00:06:19,988 --> 00:06:21,598
Getting on top of them
all over the fucking pitch.
130
00:06:21,685 --> 00:06:22,991
Don't give them a fucking inch.
131
00:06:23,121 --> 00:06:24,427
Desire to stop crosses.
132
00:06:24,558 --> 00:06:25,559
Defend crosses if they come in.
133
00:06:25,689 --> 00:06:27,604
A real tenacity
to stop crosses.
134
00:06:27,691 --> 00:06:29,432
Can we exploit
the space down the sides
135
00:06:29,563 --> 00:06:31,216
of the center backs
with quality?
136
00:06:31,347 --> 00:06:33,697
Can we get control of the game
with the ball and be patient?
137
00:06:33,784 --> 00:06:34,481
We know how we've got to play.
138
00:06:34,655 --> 00:06:35,917
Let's go and implement it.
139
00:06:59,549 --> 00:07:01,464
ANNOUNCER 1: The noise,
and here come the teams,
140
00:07:01,595 --> 00:07:03,727
Wrexham and Stockport County.
141
00:07:03,858 --> 00:07:06,295
Wrexham in the red shirts,
white shorts;
142
00:07:06,382 --> 00:07:09,298
Stockport,
white shirts, black shorts.
143
00:07:09,385 --> 00:07:10,517
ANNOUNCER 2:
It's certainly two teams
144
00:07:10,604 --> 00:07:11,735
that wish to be in league one
145
00:07:11,866 --> 00:07:14,042
than rather be
in the conference.
146
00:07:14,172 --> 00:07:15,086
ANNOUNCER 1:
Well, I got to say,
147
00:07:15,260 --> 00:07:16,871
I think both these teams
148
00:07:16,958 --> 00:07:19,961
are on a very definite
upward trajectory.
149
00:07:20,135 --> 00:07:21,528
And I'm fully feeling
this rivalry
150
00:07:21,658 --> 00:07:23,312
will go on for a while.
151
00:07:23,399 --> 00:07:24,618
ANNOUNCER 2:
Listen to that noise, guys.
152
00:07:24,748 --> 00:07:26,271
ANNOUNCER 1: Wow.
ANNOUNCER 2: Wow.
153
00:07:26,402 --> 00:07:27,621
ANNOUNCER 1:
Just wow.
154
00:07:27,751 --> 00:07:28,883
Fasten your seat belts, everyone.
155
00:07:28,970 --> 00:07:30,450
So here we go.
156
00:07:43,550 --> 00:07:46,988
You know,
we actually started--
157
00:07:47,162 --> 00:07:48,903
in the first 15, 20 minutes,
made mistakes.
158
00:07:52,994 --> 00:07:55,649
But we very quickly got
into our stride in that game
159
00:07:55,779 --> 00:07:58,434
and after that, and I thought
we just overpowered them
160
00:07:58,608 --> 00:08:00,784
in--in all areas
of--of the pitch.
161
00:08:01,872 --> 00:08:03,787
ANNOUNCER 1: He changes angle,
finds Hosannah.
162
00:08:03,918 --> 00:08:05,136
Hosannah burns past his man
163
00:08:05,223 --> 00:08:06,877
from base,
tearing down the flag.
164
00:08:07,051 --> 00:08:08,488
Hippolyte goes to ground
to put it out for a throw in.
165
00:08:13,362 --> 00:08:16,017
ANNOUNCER 1: Here comes Tozer,
hurling it in under the bar.
166
00:08:23,285 --> 00:08:25,374
Yes!
167
00:08:25,461 --> 00:08:28,595
ANNOUNCER 1:
Ollie Palmer glancing it home.
168
00:08:32,381 --> 00:08:34,470
ANNOUNCER 1:
And Wrexham take the lead
169
00:08:34,644 --> 00:08:37,821
in this massive,
massive match.
170
00:08:37,952 --> 00:08:40,258
All the bits of detail
we set out sort of
171
00:08:40,432 --> 00:08:41,521
came to fruition in that game.
172
00:08:41,608 --> 00:08:42,913
ANNOUNCER 1:
Holds off one man.
173
00:08:43,044 --> 00:08:44,393
Croasdale dispossesses,
finds Davies.
174
00:08:44,567 --> 00:08:45,960
Go on!
175
00:08:46,047 --> 00:08:47,614
ANNOUNCER 1:
One above with the keeper.
176
00:08:50,051 --> 00:08:51,966
Wrexham, a super goal.
177
00:08:52,096 --> 00:08:53,315
Love it!
178
00:08:53,402 --> 00:08:55,839
Drills it!
179
00:08:59,277 --> 00:09:02,846
Oh, baby, you got me
180
00:09:02,933 --> 00:09:04,413
Mull scored
a really good goal.
181
00:09:04,587 --> 00:09:07,938
And Ollie Palmer was immense.
182
00:09:08,069 --> 00:09:08,983
ANNOUNCER 1: Davies and Young
go for the free kick.
183
00:09:09,070 --> 00:09:10,114
Davies floats a beauty in.
184
00:09:17,426 --> 00:09:19,080
It's three!
185
00:09:19,210 --> 00:09:20,647
Oh, my goodness me.
186
00:09:24,694 --> 00:09:26,087
So we could be near
the final whistle here
187
00:09:26,261 --> 00:09:27,741
as he knocks it long.
188
00:09:27,871 --> 00:09:30,091
Just listen to that.
189
00:09:30,221 --> 00:09:31,745
Come on!
190
00:09:31,875 --> 00:09:32,528
ANNOUNCER 1:
Just listen to that.
191
00:09:32,659 --> 00:09:35,749
ANNOUNCER 2: Yes.
192
00:09:35,879 --> 00:09:39,448
Oh, no,
she gave it all away
193
00:09:39,579 --> 00:09:43,452
All the best today
194
00:10:02,253 --> 00:10:03,690
After today,
we're top of the league.
195
00:10:05,343 --> 00:10:06,823
Who'd have thought
we'd be saying that?
196
00:10:06,910 --> 00:10:08,825
We're just--
we're top of the league.
197
00:10:12,220 --> 00:10:13,569
Although I was nervous,
198
00:10:13,700 --> 00:10:15,440
every single one of them
stepped up today.
199
00:10:15,571 --> 00:10:17,138
You could see how much
they wanted it.
200
00:10:17,312 --> 00:10:19,444
It was just fantastic
to hear the Racecourse
201
00:10:19,575 --> 00:10:20,924
back to how it used to be,
202
00:10:21,098 --> 00:10:23,492
you know, bouncing,
absolutely bouncing.
203
00:10:28,149 --> 00:10:29,237
Told you all
Wrexham were gonna win
204
00:10:29,367 --> 00:10:30,804
this fucking league, didn't I?
205
00:10:30,934 --> 00:10:32,719
And we're winning
the fucking cup.
206
00:10:35,460 --> 00:10:36,940
It's a shame Rob and
Ryan couldn't be here today,
207
00:10:37,071 --> 00:10:39,160
because these
are the sort of days
208
00:10:39,290 --> 00:10:42,424
that they invested in the club
to be able to see.
209
00:10:43,817 --> 00:10:46,471
Well, well, well.
Well, well, well.
210
00:10:46,602 --> 00:10:48,169
We are top of the league.
211
00:10:48,343 --> 00:10:50,519
There's a lot of very happy
people here in North Wales.
212
00:10:50,650 --> 00:10:52,086
It's a great day here.
213
00:10:52,173 --> 00:10:53,522
We've got, like,
lots of the players' kids
214
00:10:53,609 --> 00:10:55,611
around the pitch
having a kick-around.
215
00:10:55,785 --> 00:10:56,743
It's just the perfect end
to the season here.
216
00:10:56,917 --> 00:10:58,266
See you guys.
217
00:10:58,396 --> 00:10:59,615
The mood in the locker room
218
00:10:59,746 --> 00:11:00,834
has got to be
incredibly positive.
219
00:11:00,964 --> 00:11:02,313
Yeah. Yeah.
Correct? Yes.
220
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:03,837
We won it.
The boys were good.
221
00:11:03,967 --> 00:11:05,273
Hi, Rob. Yeah.
222
00:11:05,403 --> 00:11:07,275
Enjoy that.
223
00:11:07,449 --> 00:11:09,538
You've done everything
you said you were gonna do
224
00:11:09,625 --> 00:11:10,887
and delivered
on every promise.
225
00:11:10,974 --> 00:11:12,889
So let's go just win
this fucking league.
226
00:11:14,630 --> 00:11:15,631
Simple as that.
Thanks, Rob.
227
00:11:15,805 --> 00:11:17,198
- Yeah.
- Appreciate that.
228
00:11:17,328 --> 00:11:18,329
These lads have been
phenomenal all season,
229
00:11:18,416 --> 00:11:19,766
so I don't know.
230
00:11:19,896 --> 00:11:20,897
I've just got
a feeling in my bones
231
00:11:20,984 --> 00:11:22,203
that it's just all
gearing up our way.
232
00:11:34,171 --> 00:11:36,260
We could still do this.
We could still win the league.
233
00:11:48,098 --> 00:11:50,448
[singing] Oh, parky,
do you know what he's worth
234
00:11:50,622 --> 00:11:54,104
Ollie Palmer
is the best on Earth
235
00:11:54,235 --> 00:11:57,020
A lucky striker
is just what we need
236
00:11:57,151 --> 00:12:00,241
Ollie Palmer's
the best on Earth.
237
00:12:02,156 --> 00:12:04,201
After being defeated
at Wrexham,
238
00:12:04,332 --> 00:12:07,030
Stockport County have won
their second-to-last game
239
00:12:07,161 --> 00:12:09,554
and moved back
into first place.
240
00:12:09,685 --> 00:12:12,035
In order to earn
automatic promotion,
241
00:12:12,122 --> 00:12:14,951
Wrexham must win
their final game of the season
242
00:12:15,038 --> 00:12:16,736
and Stockport
must lose theirs.
243
00:12:16,823 --> 00:12:19,042
Any other result
consigns Wrexham
244
00:12:19,216 --> 00:12:21,044
to the dreaded playoffs.
245
00:12:21,218 --> 00:12:22,829
Our biggest game
for a while, isn't it?
246
00:12:23,003 --> 00:12:24,700
Goodness me.
247
00:12:24,831 --> 00:12:27,485
Well, obviously, we've got
to go to Dagenham and win
248
00:12:27,659 --> 00:12:30,967
and hope that Stockport
lose at home to Halifax.
249
00:12:31,054 --> 00:12:32,490
So I think it's a big ask,
250
00:12:32,621 --> 00:12:34,188
but I think, uh--
I think we can do it.
251
00:12:34,275 --> 00:12:35,711
I think we've got
to be positive.
252
00:12:35,885 --> 00:12:37,713
And, uh, I think
we'll be celebrating
253
00:12:37,887 --> 00:12:39,976
with, um, possibly a barbecue.
254
00:12:40,063 --> 00:12:42,152
Wrexham supporters
255
00:12:42,283 --> 00:12:44,502
have always been
behind the team.
256
00:12:44,676 --> 00:12:47,157
Uh, but we never quite made it
257
00:12:47,288 --> 00:12:49,594
and never really felt
like we were gonna get motion.
258
00:12:49,725 --> 00:12:51,118
But this time is different.
259
00:12:58,081 --> 00:13:00,170
How far we've come
this season, the progress--
260
00:13:00,301 --> 00:13:03,086
everything's been
sort of like a fairy tale.
261
00:13:03,173 --> 00:13:04,435
We've been down here
for 14 years,
262
00:13:04,609 --> 00:13:06,394
so it's time we went up.
263
00:13:06,524 --> 00:13:10,267
Yeah, up the town,
up the town.
264
00:13:10,398 --> 00:13:11,181
He plays in red and white
265
00:13:11,312 --> 00:13:12,617
He's fucking dynamite
266
00:13:12,748 --> 00:13:14,445
We've got Super Paul Mullin
267
00:13:16,404 --> 00:13:19,320
I've not known the town
buzz like this for years.
268
00:13:19,450 --> 00:13:22,105
And it's all down
to the football club, for sure.
269
00:13:22,192 --> 00:13:24,107
There's just
that sense of something's
270
00:13:24,281 --> 00:13:26,109
happening that things
are coming together,
271
00:13:26,283 --> 00:13:28,242
and that really is fantastic.
272
00:13:28,329 --> 00:13:29,634
It's something
to really, really
273
00:13:29,765 --> 00:13:32,028
look forward to,
uh, 5:00 tomorrow,
274
00:13:32,115 --> 00:13:34,335
Sunday, and see that--
275
00:13:34,465 --> 00:13:36,598
let's get in there
and show them how it's done.
276
00:13:40,341 --> 00:13:41,559
For the last two weeks,
I've been doing nothing,
277
00:13:41,733 --> 00:13:44,301
just, like, coming in, icing,
doing this every day.
278
00:13:44,432 --> 00:13:47,348
So I got to do this every day
just to try and keep my bulk.
279
00:13:47,435 --> 00:13:50,655
The Weymouth away is where,
uh, I did my hammy,
280
00:13:50,786 --> 00:13:53,223
my tendon, my hamstring.
281
00:13:53,397 --> 00:13:56,444
Toz played me a pass,
and I opened out to run.
282
00:13:56,574 --> 00:13:59,360
And I just felt a sharp, like,
pain in my hamstring.
283
00:13:59,534 --> 00:14:00,665
It wasn't a pop or anything,
284
00:14:00,796 --> 00:14:01,928
which is great,
'cause nothing went.
285
00:14:02,015 --> 00:14:03,712
But it's just, like,
a micro tear,
286
00:14:03,799 --> 00:14:05,801
but it was actually
in the tendon that got tore.
287
00:14:05,932 --> 00:14:09,370
So... the tendon tore,
and I just knew
288
00:14:09,500 --> 00:14:11,372
I couldn't go on after that
'cause the pain was sharp.
289
00:14:11,502 --> 00:14:13,504
And then at first
when the injury happens,
290
00:14:13,635 --> 00:14:15,071
you're just thinking--
291
00:14:15,158 --> 00:14:17,160
you hope it's not bad.
292
00:14:17,291 --> 00:14:19,032
Then obviously,
he told me what it was.
293
00:14:19,162 --> 00:14:24,167
And then... at that point,
I was just thinking...
294
00:14:24,254 --> 00:14:26,387
my season's over
and I can't help the boys.
295
00:14:28,955 --> 00:14:30,521
Took a while to sink in.
296
00:14:45,710 --> 00:14:48,148
So today we're off to
the last game of the season.
297
00:14:48,278 --> 00:14:49,410
We're going
to Dagenham & Redbridge.
298
00:14:51,281 --> 00:14:53,153
I am nervous, to be honest.
299
00:14:53,283 --> 00:14:54,894
We've got four hours
until we get there,
300
00:14:54,981 --> 00:14:56,112
four and a bit,
301
00:14:56,199 --> 00:14:57,722
but I am excited,
302
00:14:57,853 --> 00:14:59,855
and I do think we're
definitely gonna go up.
303
00:14:59,986 --> 00:15:03,554
Wrexham!
Wrexham!
304
00:15:03,641 --> 00:15:07,689
Wrexham! Wrexham!
Wrexham! Wrexham!
305
00:15:10,083 --> 00:15:10,779
I've said since Christmas,
306
00:15:10,953 --> 00:15:13,086
we're gonna win the league.
307
00:15:13,260 --> 00:15:15,044
It's just a really good time
to be a Wrexham fan.
308
00:15:17,438 --> 00:15:19,483
Is it too early to drink?
309
00:15:26,795 --> 00:15:28,579
What the hell are you doing?
310
00:15:28,666 --> 00:15:31,017
Uh, I'm working out
my anxiety through, uh,
311
00:15:31,191 --> 00:15:32,366
body movements.
312
00:15:32,453 --> 00:15:34,020
Oh.
313
00:15:42,463 --> 00:15:44,769
We've got two hours
and seven minutes,
314
00:15:44,900 --> 00:15:45,945
not that I'm counting.
315
00:15:48,251 --> 00:15:49,557
PERSON 1: If the Hollywood
ending happens today...
316
00:15:49,687 --> 00:15:51,037
PERSON 2:
To Wrexham. Cheers.
317
00:15:51,167 --> 00:15:52,995
PERSON 3:
We'll do it again.
318
00:15:53,126 --> 00:15:54,910
The fact we're here,
the challenge today
319
00:15:55,084 --> 00:15:56,912
is actually what we were
seeking to try and achieve
320
00:15:57,043 --> 00:15:58,261
at the outset of the season.
321
00:15:58,348 --> 00:15:59,828
To Halifax.
322
00:15:59,959 --> 00:16:01,482
To Wrexham.
323
00:16:01,656 --> 00:16:02,918
You know, and it's a credit
to everybody involved
324
00:16:03,049 --> 00:16:04,485
that we got ourselves
into this position.
325
00:16:04,615 --> 00:16:06,182
And, uh, we've got
90 minutes away
326
00:16:06,269 --> 00:16:07,923
from, uh, our destiny
being known.
327
00:16:08,054 --> 00:16:13,189
Wrexham! Wrexham!
Wrexham! Wrexham! Wrexham!
328
00:16:15,061 --> 00:16:16,714
Good luck.
329
00:16:16,888 --> 00:16:18,064
We're all behind you.
330
00:16:20,588 --> 00:16:23,156
A horrible
wet, windy away day
331
00:16:23,286 --> 00:16:25,158
with a great set of lads
with a great...
332
00:16:25,288 --> 00:16:27,073
bunch of fans traveling.
333
00:16:27,247 --> 00:16:28,639
Wrexham!
334
00:16:28,726 --> 00:16:29,640
I knew what I signed up to.
335
00:16:29,771 --> 00:16:32,208
I knew why I came here.
336
00:16:32,295 --> 00:16:35,255
That's to get
this football club
337
00:16:35,385 --> 00:16:39,085
and give this town
something to cheer about.
338
00:16:40,608 --> 00:16:43,306
ANNOUNCER 1: Good afternoon
from the final league game
339
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:44,873
of the National League season.
340
00:16:45,004 --> 00:16:47,223
All comes down to this.
341
00:16:52,533 --> 00:16:53,882
The equation is quite simple.
342
00:16:53,969 --> 00:16:55,101
Wrexham have
to win their game.
343
00:16:55,275 --> 00:16:57,842
And it's all eyes on Stockport
344
00:16:57,973 --> 00:16:59,192
in their game against Halifax.
345
00:17:00,976 --> 00:17:03,196
Even if Halifax doesn't win,
346
00:17:03,326 --> 00:17:05,198
we're still somewhere, right?
347
00:17:05,328 --> 00:17:06,895
Then we get the tournament.
- Yeah.
348
00:17:06,982 --> 00:17:08,331
ANNOUNCER 1:
And we're underway
349
00:17:08,462 --> 00:17:10,029
at the Chigwell Construction Stadium.
350
00:17:16,426 --> 00:17:17,775
Paul Mullin
was not intercepted.
351
00:17:17,949 --> 00:17:19,560
He's on his own, though.
352
00:17:19,647 --> 00:17:21,214
ANNOUNCER 2: Well, Mullin
hits it low, just wide.
353
00:17:29,700 --> 00:17:30,571
ANNOUNCER 1:
He's still in the middle.
354
00:17:30,745 --> 00:17:32,138
Ollie Palmer at the back post.
355
00:17:32,268 --> 00:17:34,009
He was just forced
away from goal.
356
00:17:37,708 --> 00:17:39,014
Uh-oh.
357
00:17:39,145 --> 00:17:40,276
Oh, Stockport scored.
358
00:17:40,407 --> 00:17:42,278
Oh.
359
00:17:43,366 --> 00:17:44,933
ANNOUNCER 1:
Goal at Stockport,
360
00:17:45,020 --> 00:17:46,369
not the news Wrexham wanted.
361
00:17:52,158 --> 00:17:55,291
You could literally
hear it pass round the crowd.
362
00:17:58,381 --> 00:17:59,730
Stockport scored early.
363
00:17:59,817 --> 00:18:01,297
Obviously, the result,
the scoreline,
364
00:18:01,384 --> 00:18:03,082
filtered around
the Dagenham stadium.
365
00:18:05,693 --> 00:18:07,477
Not many people get
to deal with pressure in life.
366
00:18:07,608 --> 00:18:09,610
And to have to do it every
week is, um, quite strange.
367
00:18:09,740 --> 00:18:11,394
You sort of get used to it,
368
00:18:11,481 --> 00:18:13,092
but obviously, it intensifies
as the season goes on.
369
00:18:21,535 --> 00:18:23,798
If, in the game of football,
370
00:18:23,928 --> 00:18:26,409
all the players looked as if
they had no energy at all,
371
00:18:26,583 --> 00:18:27,976
there's some reason for that.
372
00:18:35,549 --> 00:18:37,203
ANNOUNCER 1:
to punch it away,
373
00:18:37,377 --> 00:18:38,291
and that's it.
374
00:18:38,421 --> 00:18:39,988
Halftime, nil-nil.
375
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:46,212
Shit.
376
00:18:50,346 --> 00:18:51,652
70 fucking percent.
377
00:18:51,826 --> 00:18:53,871
It's 70% for me, right?
378
00:18:54,002 --> 00:18:56,091
So two things--
as a team, right, listen,
379
00:18:56,265 --> 00:18:57,745
we're coming off this fucking
pitch in the second half.
380
00:18:57,875 --> 00:18:59,573
And we're gonna
fucking put a shift in.
381
00:18:59,660 --> 00:19:01,966
We're gonna work
our fucking bollocks off,
382
00:19:02,097 --> 00:19:03,011
right, out of possession.
383
00:19:03,142 --> 00:19:04,969
And then we're gonna play.
384
00:19:05,100 --> 00:19:06,536
You're fucking tired.
385
00:19:06,667 --> 00:19:07,755
You're not pushing yourself
hard enough.
386
00:19:07,885 --> 00:19:09,887
Football's fucking hard.
That's what it is.
387
00:19:10,018 --> 00:19:12,803
If we have to carry you
off the pitch after 98 minutes,
388
00:19:12,890 --> 00:19:14,327
we will carry you
off the pitch.
389
00:19:14,457 --> 00:19:16,024
Get up against the man
you're playing against
390
00:19:16,198 --> 00:19:17,678
and be better than him.
391
00:19:17,808 --> 00:19:19,027
Be better than
the center half, Ollie,
392
00:19:19,158 --> 00:19:20,550
you and Mulls.
393
00:19:20,681 --> 00:19:22,552
Get in the fucking box
when the cross is out.
394
00:19:22,683 --> 00:19:25,338
Be better than the man
you're playing against,
395
00:19:25,468 --> 00:19:27,383
and you'll win this
fucking game, all right?
396
00:19:27,470 --> 00:19:28,254
Come on, boys.
- Fucking come on, then.
397
00:19:28,428 --> 00:19:30,212
Come on. Come on.
398
00:19:30,343 --> 00:19:31,474
If Mulls and Ollie are
closing, then we back them up.
399
00:19:31,605 --> 00:19:33,694
Wrexham, we do
400
00:19:33,824 --> 00:19:36,000
We love you, Wrexham, we do
401
00:19:36,131 --> 00:19:38,046
We love you, Wrexham,
we do
402
00:19:38,177 --> 00:19:41,136
Oh, Wrexham, we love you
403
00:19:41,310 --> 00:19:43,399
Come on, Wrexham!
Go get him, JJ!
404
00:19:44,922 --> 00:19:46,272
Come on, come on, come on.
405
00:19:51,712 --> 00:19:53,366
Jeez.
Uh-oh.
406
00:19:53,496 --> 00:19:55,368
They're just all over us.
407
00:19:58,675 --> 00:19:59,154
ANNOUNCER 1:
Bryce is in on his right foot.
408
00:19:59,285 --> 00:20:00,286
He hits it. He's in.
409
00:20:02,201 --> 00:20:04,246
And that's been coming,
410
00:20:04,377 --> 00:20:06,814
and with 55 minutes
on the clock.
411
00:20:06,944 --> 00:20:07,989
Dagenham battered us,
basically, you know?
412
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:11,645
ANNOUNCER 1:
The back post, McCallum, goal.
413
00:20:15,736 --> 00:20:17,041
It wasn't good enough.
414
00:20:17,172 --> 00:20:18,521
We all knew
it wasn't good enough.
415
00:20:18,652 --> 00:20:20,828
ANNOUNCER 1: See McCallum
lays off to Robinson,
416
00:20:21,002 --> 00:20:24,875
3-nil, and it just gets worse
and worse for Wrexham.
417
00:20:26,834 --> 00:20:27,878
Fuck!
418
00:20:32,579 --> 00:20:33,754
Yeah, it's tough
to watch from the sideline
419
00:20:33,928 --> 00:20:36,104
this team not performing,
you know?
420
00:20:36,191 --> 00:20:38,367
But I can't say nothing 'cause
I'm not playing, you know?
421
00:20:40,064 --> 00:20:43,198
I think, leading up
to that game, there--
422
00:20:43,329 --> 00:20:44,765
there was no talk that we could
possibly lose the game.
423
00:20:44,939 --> 00:20:46,201
There was all talk
that we were gonna--
424
00:20:46,375 --> 00:20:47,855
we were gonna win the game.
425
00:20:47,985 --> 00:20:50,553
As a squad, we probably
got carried away with that.
426
00:20:52,903 --> 00:20:54,209
ANNOUNCER 1:
Wrexham's regular season
427
00:20:54,340 --> 00:20:56,559
ends in a 3-nil away defeat
428
00:20:56,690 --> 00:20:58,126
to Dagenham & Redbridge.
429
00:20:58,300 --> 00:20:59,910
Phil Parkinson's side
430
00:20:59,997 --> 00:21:01,999
finish second in the
Vanarama National League.
431
00:21:03,349 --> 00:21:04,785
All right, well,
let's go get it.
432
00:21:04,915 --> 00:21:06,003
Let's go get it at Wembley.
433
00:21:06,134 --> 00:21:07,875
And--and let's go get it
at Wrexham.
434
00:21:08,005 --> 00:21:11,444
And let's go get it again
in, uh, West Ham.
435
00:21:11,574 --> 00:21:13,359
Yeah, exactly.
436
00:21:13,446 --> 00:21:15,578
All right. Talk soon.
- All right.
437
00:21:15,665 --> 00:21:17,711
I love that the fans
are still behind them.
438
00:21:32,247 --> 00:21:33,596
It's hard,
because I never want
439
00:21:33,770 --> 00:21:36,904
to let the fans down.
440
00:21:37,034 --> 00:21:39,167
I wanted to give
the people of the town
441
00:21:39,254 --> 00:21:42,257
exactly what they deserve
for all their--their passion
442
00:21:42,388 --> 00:21:44,912
and--and their following.
443
00:21:59,796 --> 00:22:00,971
It is a great honor
to be on the touchline
444
00:22:01,102 --> 00:22:02,625
with support like that.
445
00:22:02,756 --> 00:22:04,540
You know, the--the fans
were outstanding for us,
446
00:22:04,627 --> 00:22:06,586
but they have been all season.
447
00:22:06,716 --> 00:22:09,371
Today they knew
that Stockport were winning.
448
00:22:09,502 --> 00:22:11,634
They knew that the lads
looked as if
449
00:22:11,721 --> 00:22:13,419
the stuffing had been knocked
out of them a little bit.
450
00:22:13,506 --> 00:22:14,333
And they kind of
understood that
451
00:22:14,420 --> 00:22:16,291
and gave the lads
amazing support,
452
00:22:16,422 --> 00:22:17,553
as they've done all season.
453
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,555
And, you know,
it's a--a great privilege
454
00:22:19,642 --> 00:22:20,948
to be the manager
on the touchline
455
00:22:21,078 --> 00:22:22,515
in front of those supporters.
456
00:22:22,645 --> 00:22:25,082
And, you know, we've got
a great opportunity now
457
00:22:25,213 --> 00:22:26,997
to finish this season
in style.
458
00:22:31,306 --> 00:22:34,614
When Rob dragged me
into this insanity,
459
00:22:34,744 --> 00:22:37,356
I think that the most common
thing we heard was,
460
00:22:37,443 --> 00:22:39,836
"Why Wrexham?"
461
00:22:39,967 --> 00:22:41,795
ANNOUNCER 1: Not one Wrexham
fan has left the stadium.
462
00:22:41,882 --> 00:22:43,753
They're not gonna let
this team leave
463
00:22:43,884 --> 00:22:45,581
without showing them
what this season has meant.
464
00:22:51,674 --> 00:22:54,677
That question was answered,
465
00:22:54,764 --> 00:22:56,244
I mean, so many times
throughout the season,
466
00:22:56,375 --> 00:22:59,116
but I think that's why.
