Wrexham were thrashed 5-0 by Stockport as unbeaten run ends
PHIL PARKINSON got the response he wanted the last time Wrexham conceded five goals in a game and he is looking for the same reaction from his players following Saturday’s debacle at Stockport County.
The buzz surrounding Wrexham and football has reached around the world. From Australia to Argentina, Canada to Cardiff and Fishguard to Finland, people know about the Hollywood takeover at Wrexham FC in the city that is the birthplace of Welsh Football.
At the heart of that city is Wrexham Museum, home to the Welsh Football Collection since 2000. While Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds were scouting for a football club to buy and familiarizing themselves with the laws of the game, the team at Wrexham Museum were working on the plans and designs for a national football museum for Wales and a new museum for Wrexham – a museum of two halves.
Work has continued apace following the recruitment of a Football Museum Officer in spring 2021 and then the appointment of Haley Sharpe Design and Purcell as the designers and architects for the project during the summer of that year.
The buzz grew louder when the Wales men’s team qualified for the World Cup in Qatar and the women’s team made the play-offs for the first time in their World Cup. Locally the excitement reached fever pitch when earlier this year Wrexham won the National League securing a return the Football League at the end of last season. The men’s and women’s team parade passed by the
museum twice on its journey through a sea of emotional and overjoyed fans; all documented by camera crews from international TV stations and the makers of ‘Welcome to Wrexham’, a fly on the wall docu-series and tourism promotion team’s dream about the club and the city.
