1
00:00:04,071 --> 00:00:06,406
- ££5, please.
Thanks for waiting.
2
00:00:06,473 --> 00:00:09,610
- Sausage, no butter,
red sauce.
3
00:00:09,676 --> 00:00:12,779
[upbeat music]
4
00:00:12,846 --> 00:00:14,248
SIMON: Hi, Rob.
ROB: How are you doing, mate?
5
00:00:14,314 --> 00:00:15,883
You okay?
- Very good. Yourself?
6
00:00:15,949 --> 00:00:17,451
- Not bad, not bad.
7
00:00:17,518 --> 00:00:20,554
- The games
that happened with--with--
8
00:00:20,621 --> 00:00:22,356
you know, later on
and that run we've been on...
9
00:00:22,422 --> 00:00:24,024
- Oh, the run.
Yeah. Absolutely.
10
00:00:24,091 --> 00:00:25,425
- Is absolutely phenomenal.
11
00:00:29,897 --> 00:00:32,633
- Everywhere I go now,
people just talk about,
12
00:00:32,699 --> 00:00:34,401
"Oh, where you from?"
"Wrexham." "Oh."
13
00:00:34,468 --> 00:00:35,836
- Yeah.
- "Rob and Ryan got
14
00:00:35,903 --> 00:00:37,938
the football club---
bought the football club up."
15
00:00:38,005 --> 00:00:40,240
- October, November,
December time,
16
00:00:40,307 --> 00:00:41,842
we probably weren't
particularly happy
17
00:00:41,909 --> 00:00:43,010
with how we were doing,
18
00:00:43,076 --> 00:00:45,045
but this run
that we've gone on now,
19
00:00:45,112 --> 00:00:47,247
everything's--
everything's looking...
20
00:00:47,314 --> 00:00:48,382
great.
ROB: Yeah.
21
00:00:48,448 --> 00:00:49,750
PERSON: Suck balls.
We're gonna lose.
22
00:00:49,816 --> 00:00:50,951
I'm telling you,
on Sunday,
23
00:00:51,018 --> 00:00:53,120
they're gonna lose that game
in hand.
24
00:00:53,187 --> 00:00:54,588
And Wrexham's gonna go boom.
25
00:00:54,655 --> 00:00:55,789
SIMON:
'Cause there's been so many
26
00:00:55,856 --> 00:00:57,291
twists and turns this season.
27
00:00:57,357 --> 00:00:59,326
I just think there's got
to be another one.
28
00:01:01,094 --> 00:01:02,563
BUDDY HOLLY [singing]:
Every day
29
00:01:02,629 --> 00:01:04,565
It's a-getting closer
30
00:01:04,631 --> 00:01:08,101
Going faster
than a roller coaster
31
00:01:08,168 --> 00:01:13,006
Love like yours
will surely come my way
32
00:01:13,073 --> 00:01:15,275
A-hey, a-hey-hey
33
00:01:15,342 --> 00:01:19,046
Every day,
it's a-getting faster
34
00:01:19,112 --> 00:01:22,482
Everyone said,
"Go ahead and ask her"
35
00:01:22,549 --> 00:01:27,087
Love like yours
will surely come my way
36
00:01:27,154 --> 00:01:29,423
A-hey, a-hey-hey
37
00:01:29,489 --> 00:01:36,096
Love like yours
will surely come my way
38
00:01:42,970 --> 00:01:44,638
PERSON:
2 1/2 minutes, one touch.
39
00:01:44,705 --> 00:01:46,607
See if we can get it going.
40
00:01:46,673 --> 00:01:49,676
Got to play with some
fucking energy tomorrow.
41
00:01:49,743 --> 00:01:51,678
HUMPHREY: Wrexham are in
the playoffs, come what may.
42
00:01:51,745 --> 00:01:53,680
Stockport currently sit
43
00:01:53,747 --> 00:01:55,949
at the top of the table
by 3 points.
44
00:01:56,016 --> 00:01:58,685
They've got two games left
after they play us.
45
00:01:58,752 --> 00:02:01,154
We've only got one game left
after we play them,
46
00:02:01,221 --> 00:02:03,090
so we can add
a maximum of 6 points.
47
00:02:03,156 --> 00:02:05,325
They can add
a maximum of 9 points.
48
00:02:05,392 --> 00:02:07,261
If we beat them
and they drop points
49
00:02:07,327 --> 00:02:08,762
in their last two games,
50
00:02:08,829 --> 00:02:10,130
we've got an opportunity
51
00:02:10,197 --> 00:02:12,166
to push them
right to the wire.
52
00:02:12,232 --> 00:02:14,201
No one's expecting us
to do it,
53
00:02:14,268 --> 00:02:16,703
so that, in some ways,
makes it a bit easier, I think.
54
00:02:16,770 --> 00:02:18,839
- The underdog.
Back to being the underdogs.
55
00:02:18,906 --> 00:02:20,174
How about that?
HUMPHREY: Yeah.
56
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,342
I'm excited.
I'm looking forward to it.
57
00:02:22,409 --> 00:02:24,578
This is what--you couldn't ask
for a better last home game
58
00:02:24,645 --> 00:02:26,113
of the season, in a way.
59
00:02:27,314 --> 00:02:31,185
- If we don't win the league,
I'll miss my stag do.
60
00:02:31,251 --> 00:02:34,288
[bell dinging]
61
00:02:36,089 --> 00:02:38,625
And if we get
into the playoff final,
62
00:02:38,692 --> 00:02:40,260
I could miss my wedding.
63
00:02:40,327 --> 00:02:42,763
That's if we don't
get first spot,
64
00:02:42,830 --> 00:02:44,298
which I'm very confident
we will.
65
00:02:44,364 --> 00:02:46,099
- If you can't get excited
about a game like this,
66
00:02:46,166 --> 00:02:48,435
I don't know--what are you
doing in football?
67
00:02:48,502 --> 00:02:51,338
[birds chirping]
68
00:02:54,274 --> 00:02:55,609
[scanner beeps]
69
00:02:58,478 --> 00:03:00,914
Hi.
This is not good content.
70
00:03:00,981 --> 00:03:03,684
[laughter]
71
00:03:05,652 --> 00:03:08,388
FLEUR: Today, obviously,
we play Stockport at home,
72
00:03:08,455 --> 00:03:12,526
which a much-anticipated game,
a huge game for us.
73
00:03:12,593 --> 00:03:13,994
Very hands-on,
especially at the moment,
74
00:03:14,061 --> 00:03:15,896
'cause obviously,
we're selling merchandise
75
00:03:15,963 --> 00:03:17,264
for Wembley as well.
76
00:03:17,331 --> 00:03:18,732
PERSON: I do all tickets
and scanners,
77
00:03:18,799 --> 00:03:20,901
setting them all up,
making sure they work.
78
00:03:20,968 --> 00:03:23,237
Big game, complete sellout.
79
00:03:23,303 --> 00:03:25,239
Stockport could potentially
win the league here,
80
00:03:25,305 --> 00:03:26,740
which we're not
going to allow to happen.
81
00:03:26,807 --> 00:03:28,041
[laughs]
82
00:03:29,510 --> 00:03:31,078
PERSON:
Excited, anxious, nervous.
83
00:03:31,144 --> 00:03:33,680
I couldn't sleep last night,
bouncing around all morning.
84
00:03:33,747 --> 00:03:35,215
We have to win.
85
00:03:35,282 --> 00:03:36,049
It almost feels like
a bit of a Hollywood
86
00:03:36,116 --> 00:03:37,551
potential ending to it all.
87
00:03:37,618 --> 00:03:39,753
We need to get this place today
filled with Wrexham fans
88
00:03:39,820 --> 00:03:42,089
as quick as we can
so no away fans try and get in.
89
00:03:42,155 --> 00:03:43,624
Halftime,
get yourself some dinner.
90
00:03:43,690 --> 00:03:44,858
I don't want to see anybody
sitting round.
91
00:03:44,925 --> 00:03:46,193
After ten minutes,
I want to see--
92
00:03:46,260 --> 00:03:47,427
no drinking, please.
93
00:03:47,494 --> 00:03:48,795
You shouldn't be drinking
at halftime.
94
00:03:48,862 --> 00:03:50,964
Probably gonna have
20, 30, 40 people staying in.
95
00:03:51,031 --> 00:03:52,533
So you're gonna remain steady.
96
00:03:52,599 --> 00:03:54,368
So one or two of you
focus on the glasses.
97
00:03:54,434 --> 00:03:56,403
One or two focus on serving.
98
00:03:56,470 --> 00:03:57,838
And the rest of you
get the fridges filled,
99
00:03:57,905 --> 00:03:59,106
toilets bleached and cleaned,
100
00:03:59,173 --> 00:04:00,274
and then stock back up, yeah?
PERSON: Right.
101
00:04:01,608 --> 00:04:03,177
- Hi, lads.
102
00:04:03,243 --> 00:04:04,511
Come on, Wrexham.
103
00:04:04,578 --> 00:04:06,113
Don't fuck it up.
104
00:04:06,180 --> 00:04:08,015
- Here we go, we're off
to the Stockport game.
105
00:04:08,081 --> 00:04:09,349
No mercy.
106
00:04:09,416 --> 00:04:11,952
- Today's match,
it is a significant one.
107
00:04:12,019 --> 00:04:14,488
We expect Wrexham Town Centre
to be really busy as well.
108
00:04:14,555 --> 00:04:15,822
[siren wailing]
109
00:04:15,889 --> 00:04:17,457
PERSON: Today we've had
a really significant
110
00:04:17,524 --> 00:04:19,126
policing operation around it.
111
00:04:19,193 --> 00:04:21,295
It's what we consider
a high-risk football match.
112
00:04:21,361 --> 00:04:23,363
So we have put a lot of
resource in--in Wrexham today.
113
00:04:23,430 --> 00:04:24,865
[crowd singing indistinctly]
114
00:04:24,932 --> 00:04:26,867
PERSON: There's gonna be
more supporters, more fans.
115
00:04:26,934 --> 00:04:28,969
Gonna need probably
a bigger police presence,
116
00:04:29,036 --> 00:04:29,937
bigger crowds
arriving in a town
117
00:04:30,003 --> 00:04:31,004
like Wrexham as well.
118
00:04:31,071 --> 00:04:32,673
PERSON: I don't predict
it's gonna be
119
00:04:32,739 --> 00:04:34,341
a quiet Sunday afternoon, no.
120
00:04:35,742 --> 00:04:38,178
PERSON: We're flying,
providing an aerial view
121
00:04:38,245 --> 00:04:39,680
of everything that's happening
on the ground,
122
00:04:39,746 --> 00:04:41,748
looking at the movement
of crowds
123
00:04:41,815 --> 00:04:43,517
and the movement
of police resources.
124
00:04:44,518 --> 00:04:46,687
PERSON: They're expecting
the away fans to arrive
125
00:04:46,753 --> 00:04:48,522
at Wrexham General Station.
126
00:04:48,589 --> 00:04:49,990
[indistinct announcement
over P. A. system]
127
00:04:50,057 --> 00:04:51,525
PERSON:
Mind the gap, please.
128
00:04:51,592 --> 00:04:53,494
[crowd cheering]
129
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,195
PERSON: The Wrexham fans
have pushed on.
130
00:05:01,068 --> 00:05:02,836
[crowd booing]
131
00:05:02,903 --> 00:05:06,139
[crowd singing]
132
00:05:16,483 --> 00:05:19,186
- Who wants a beer?
- Yay!
133
00:05:20,020 --> 00:05:23,056
[crowd singing]
134
00:05:27,027 --> 00:05:29,196
- Rob and Ryan,
this is a message for you
135
00:05:29,263 --> 00:05:31,031
from the best beard in Wales
136
00:05:31,098 --> 00:05:33,433
to the best football club
in Wales:
137
00:05:33,500 --> 00:05:34,735
come on the town!
138
00:05:34,801 --> 00:05:37,504
- Let's go!
139
00:05:39,940 --> 00:05:41,675
- This is Wrexham, this.
140
00:05:41,742 --> 00:05:45,012
[crowd singing indistinctly]
141
00:06:09,670 --> 00:06:12,806
- Physicality, intensity,
sprint into the ball,
142
00:06:12,873 --> 00:06:14,241
and make them play backwards.
143
00:06:14,308 --> 00:06:16,143
Getting on top of them
all over the fucking pitch.
144
00:06:16,210 --> 00:06:17,678
Don't give them a fucking inch.
145
00:06:17,744 --> 00:06:18,779
Desire to stop crosses.
146
00:06:18,846 --> 00:06:20,113
Defend crosses if they come in.
147
00:06:20,180 --> 00:06:22,115
A real tenacity
to stop crosses.
148
00:06:22,182 --> 00:06:23,951
Can we exploit
the space down the sides
149
00:06:24,017 --> 00:06:25,485
of the center backs
with quality?
150
00:06:25,552 --> 00:06:28,121
Can we get control of the game
with the ball and be patient?
151
00:06:28,188 --> 00:06:29,089
We know how we've got to play.
[bell ringing]
152
00:06:29,156 --> 00:06:30,424
Let's go and implement it.
153
00:06:30,491 --> 00:06:33,627
[team cheering and clapping]
154
00:06:33,694 --> 00:06:36,730
[indistinct chatter]
155
00:06:40,667 --> 00:06:43,036

[indistinct chatter]
157
00:06:53,714 --> 00:06:55,782
ANNOUNCER 1: The noise,
and here come the teams,
158
00:06:55,849 --> 00:06:58,185
Wrexham and Stockport County.
159
00:06:58,252 --> 00:07:00,654
Wrexham in the red shirts,
white shorts;
160
00:07:00,721 --> 00:07:03,657
Stockport,
white shirts, black shorts.
161
00:07:03,724 --> 00:07:04,858
ANNOUNCER 2:
It's certainly two teams
162
00:07:04,925 --> 00:07:06,160
that wish to be in league one
163
00:07:06,226 --> 00:07:08,395
than rather be
in the conference.
164
00:07:08,462 --> 00:07:09,830
ANNOUNCER 1:
Well, I got to say,
165
00:07:09,897 --> 00:07:11,265
I think both these teams
166
00:07:11,331 --> 00:07:14,368
are on a very definite
upward trajectory.
167
00:07:14,434 --> 00:07:16,103
And I'm fully feeling
this rivalry
168
00:07:16,170 --> 00:07:17,604
will go on for a while.
169
00:07:17,671 --> 00:07:19,106
ANNOUNCER 2:
Listen to that noise, guys.
170
00:07:19,173 --> 00:07:20,841
ANNOUNCER 1: Wow.
ANNOUNCER 2: Wow.
171
00:07:20,908 --> 00:07:22,075
ANNOUNCER 1:
Just wow.
172
00:07:22,142 --> 00:07:23,644
Fasten your seat belts,
everyone.
173
00:07:23,710 --> 00:07:25,078
So here we go.
174
00:07:25,145 --> 00:07:27,648
[dramatic music]
175
00:07:37,791 --> 00:07:41,361
PHIL: You know,
we actually started--
176
00:07:41,428 --> 00:07:43,997
in the first 15, 20 minutes,
made mistakes.
177
00:07:47,467 --> 00:07:49,803
But we very quickly got
into our stride in that game
178
00:07:49,870 --> 00:07:52,773
and after that, and I thought
we just overpowered them
179
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,142
in--in all areas
of--of the pitch.
180
00:07:55,976 --> 00:07:58,312
ANNOUNCER 1: He changes angle,
finds Hosannah.
181
00:07:58,378 --> 00:07:59,546
Hosannah burns past his man
182
00:07:59,613 --> 00:08:01,048
from base,
tearing down the flag.
183
00:08:01,114 --> 00:08:03,550
Hippolyte goes to ground
to put it out for a throw in.
184
00:08:07,554 --> 00:08:11,124
ANNOUNCER 1: Here comes Tozer,
hurling it in under the bar.
185
00:08:13,093 --> 00:08:15,863
[singers vocalizing]
186
00:08:15,929 --> 00:08:17,931

187
00:08:17,998 --> 00:08:19,666

188
00:08:19,733 --> 00:08:23,337
ANNOUNCER 1:
Ollie Palmer glancing it home.
189
00:08:26,673 --> 00:08:29,009
ANNOUNCER 1:
And Wrexham take the lead
190
00:08:29,076 --> 00:08:32,212
in this massive,
massive match.
191
00:08:32,279 --> 00:08:34,848
PHIL: All the bits of detail
we set out sort of
192
00:08:34,915 --> 00:08:36,083
came to fruition in that game.
193
00:08:36,149 --> 00:08:37,317
ANNOUNCER 1:
Holds off one man.
194
00:08:37,384 --> 00:08:39,086
Croasdale dispossesses,
finds Davies.
195
00:08:39,152 --> 00:08:40,287
PERSON:
Go on!
196
00:08:40,354 --> 00:08:42,489
ANNOUNCER 1:
One above with the keeper.
197
00:08:42,556 --> 00:08:44,625
[crowd cheering]
198
00:08:44,691 --> 00:08:46,727
Wrexham, a super goal.
199
00:08:46,793 --> 00:08:48,028
Love it!
200
00:08:48,095 --> 00:08:50,030
Drills it!
201
00:08:50,097 --> 00:08:53,800
[announcers speaking
indistinctly]
202
00:08:53,867 --> 00:08:57,237
SINGER:
Oh, baby, you got me
203
00:08:57,304 --> 00:08:59,106
PHIL: Mull scored
a really good goal.
204
00:08:59,173 --> 00:09:02,075
And Ollie Palmer was immense.
205
00:09:02,142 --> 00:09:03,710
ANNOUNCER 1: Davies and Young
go for the free kick.
206
00:09:03,777 --> 00:09:05,045
Davies floats a beauty in.
207
00:09:12,152 --> 00:09:13,620
It's three!
208
00:09:13,687 --> 00:09:15,489
Oh, my goodness me.
209
00:09:15,556 --> 00:09:18,792
[rock music]
210
00:09:18,859 --> 00:09:20,627
So we could be near
the final whistle here
211
00:09:20,694 --> 00:09:21,995
as he knocks it long.
212
00:09:22,062 --> 00:09:24,598
[crowd cheering]
Just listen to that.
213
00:09:24,665 --> 00:09:25,966
PERSON:
Come on!
214
00:09:26,033 --> 00:09:27,100
ANNOUNCER 1:
Just listen to that.
215
00:09:27,167 --> 00:09:30,270
ANNOUNCER 2: Yes.
[laughter]

00:09:30,337 --> 00:09:34,107
SINGER: Oh, no,
she gave it all away
217
00:09:34,174 --> 00:09:38,278
All the best today
218
00:09:48,856 --> 00:09:52,526
[crowd cheering]
219
00:09:52,593 --> 00:09:56,430
[crowd singing]
220
00:09:56,497 --> 00:09:58,398
ANNETTE: After today,
we're top of the league.
221
00:09:59,666 --> 00:10:01,301
Who'd have thought
we'd be saying that?
222
00:10:01,368 --> 00:10:03,737
We're just--
we're top of the league.
223
00:10:06,573 --> 00:10:07,808
ANNETTE:
Although I was nervous,
224
00:10:07,875 --> 00:10:09,743
every single one of them
stepped up today.
225
00:10:09,810 --> 00:10:11,478
You could see how much
they wanted it.
226
00:10:11,545 --> 00:10:13,814
It was just fantastic
to hear the Racecourse
227
00:10:13,881 --> 00:10:15,349
back to how it used to be,
228
00:10:15,415 --> 00:10:18,151
you know, bouncing,
absolutely bouncing.
229
00:10:18,218 --> 00:10:22,489
[crowd singing]
230
00:10:22,556 --> 00:10:23,857
- Told you all
Wrexham were gonna win
231
00:10:23,924 --> 00:10:25,292
this fucking league, didn't I?
232
00:10:25,359 --> 00:10:27,261
And we're winning
the fucking cup.
233
00:10:27,327 --> 00:10:29,496
[crowd chanting indistinctly]
234
00:10:29,563 --> 00:10:31,298
SHAUN: It's a shame Rob and
Ryan couldn't be here today,
235
00:10:31,365 --> 00:10:33,367
because these
are the sort of days
236
00:10:33,433 --> 00:10:36,870
that they invested in the club
to be able to see.
237
00:10:37,905 --> 00:10:40,707
ROB: Well, well, well.
HUMPHREY: Well, well, well.
238
00:10:40,774 --> 00:10:42,476
ROB:
We are top of the league.
239
00:10:42,543 --> 00:10:45,045
- There's a lot of very happy
people here in North Wales.
240
00:10:45,112 --> 00:10:46,380
It's a great day here.
241
00:10:46,446 --> 00:10:47,781
We've got, like,
lots of the players' kids
242
00:10:47,848 --> 00:10:49,816
around the pitch
having a kick-around.
243
00:10:49,883 --> 00:10:51,552
It's just the perfect end
to the season here.
244
00:10:51,618 --> 00:10:52,653
- See you guys.
245
00:10:52,719 --> 00:10:54,021
ROB:
The mood in the locker room
246
00:10:54,087 --> 00:10:55,289
has got to be
incredibly positive.
247
00:10:55,355 --> 00:10:56,590
- Yeah. Yeah.
ROB: Correct? Yes.
248
00:10:56,657 --> 00:10:58,325
PERSON: We won it.
The boys were good.
249
00:10:58,392 --> 00:10:59,726
PHIL: Hi, Rob.
ROB: Yeah.
250
00:10:59,793 --> 00:11:01,328
PHIL:
Enjoy that.
251
00:11:01,395 --> 00:11:04,031
ROB: You've done everything
you said you were gonna do
252
00:11:04,097 --> 00:11:05,265
and delivered
on every promise.
253
00:11:05,332 --> 00:11:07,501
So let's go just win
this fucking league.
254
00:11:07,568 --> 00:11:08,836
- [laughs]
255
00:11:08,902 --> 00:11:09,970
Simple as that.
Thanks, Rob.
256
00:11:10,037 --> 00:11:11,471
- Yeah.
- Appreciate that.
257
00:11:11,538 --> 00:11:12,806
PERSON: These lads have been
phenomenal all season,
258
00:11:12,873 --> 00:11:14,208
so I don't know.
259
00:11:14,274 --> 00:11:15,375
I've just got
a feeling in my bones
260
00:11:15,442 --> 00:11:16,677
that it's just all
gearing up our way.
261
00:11:16,743 --> 00:11:19,680
[uplifting music]
262
00:11:19,746 --> 00:11:23,016
[crowd singing indistinctly]
263
00:11:28,255 --> 00:11:31,091
- We could still do this.
We could still win the league.
264
00:11:42,102 --> 00:11:44,938
PERSON: [singing] Oh, parky,
do you know what he's worth
265
00:11:45,005 --> 00:11:48,408
Ollie Palmer
is the best on Earth
266
00:11:48,475 --> 00:11:51,378
A lucky striker
is just what we need
267
00:11:51,445 --> 00:11:54,915
Ollie Palmer's
the best on Earth.
268
00:11:54,982 --> 00:11:56,149
[laughs]
269
00:11:56,216 --> 00:11:58,452
PERSON: After being defeated
at Wrexham,
270
00:11:58,519 --> 00:12:01,421
Stockport County have won
their second-to-last game
271
00:12:01,488 --> 00:12:04,024
and moved back
into first place.
272
00:12:04,091 --> 00:12:06,160
In order to earn
automatic promotion,
273
00:12:06,226 --> 00:12:09,363
Wrexham must win
their final game of the season
274
00:12:09,429 --> 00:12:11,231
and Stockport
must lose theirs.
275
00:12:11,298 --> 00:12:13,567
Any other result
consigns Wrexham
276
00:12:13,634 --> 00:12:15,402
to the dreaded playoffs.
277
00:12:15,469 --> 00:12:17,437
ROB: Our biggest game
for a while, isn't it?
278
00:12:17,504 --> 00:12:19,106
Goodness me.
279
00:12:19,173 --> 00:12:21,775
Well, obviously, we've got
to go to Dagenham and win
280
00:12:21,842 --> 00:12:25,379
and hope that Stockport
lose at home to Halifax.
281
00:12:25,445 --> 00:12:26,713
GILES:
So I think it's a big ask,
282
00:12:26,780 --> 00:12:28,582
but I think, uh--
I think we can do it.
283
00:12:28,649 --> 00:12:30,017
I think we've got
to be positive.
284
00:12:30,083 --> 00:12:32,052
And, uh, I think
we'll be celebrating
285
00:12:32,119 --> 00:12:34,421
with, um, possibly a barbecue.
286
00:12:34,488 --> 00:12:36,557
RONNIE:
Wrexham supporters
287
00:12:36,623 --> 00:12:38,859
have always been
behind the team.
288
00:12:38,926 --> 00:12:41,195
Uh, but we never quite made it
289
00:12:41,261 --> 00:12:43,931
and never really felt
like we were gonna get motion.
290
00:12:43,997 --> 00:12:45,966
But this time is different.
291
00:12:52,105 --> 00:12:54,474
PERSON: How far we've come
this season, the progress--
292
00:12:54,541 --> 00:12:57,211
everything's been
sort of like a fairy tale.
293
00:12:57,277 --> 00:12:59,146
PERSON: We've been down here
for 14 years,
294
00:12:59,213 --> 00:13:00,981
so it's time we went up.
295
00:13:01,048 --> 00:13:04,351
- Yeah, up the town,
up the town.
296
00:13:04,418 --> 00:13:05,686
PEOPLE: [singing]
He plays in red and white
297
00:13:05,752 --> 00:13:07,020
He's fucking dynamite
298
00:13:07,087 --> 00:13:09,356
We've got Super Paul Mullin
299
00:13:09,423 --> 00:13:10,524
[laughter]
300
00:13:10,591 --> 00:13:13,627
- I've not known the town
buzz like this for years.
301
00:13:13,694 --> 00:13:16,230
And it's all down
to the football club, for sure.
302
00:13:16,296 --> 00:13:18,499
JASON: There's just
that sense of something's
303
00:13:18,565 --> 00:13:20,801
happening that things
are coming together,
304
00:13:20,868 --> 00:13:22,569
and that really is fantastic.
305
00:13:22,636 --> 00:13:23,937
PERSON: It's something
to really, really
306
00:13:24,004 --> 00:13:26,573
look forward to,
uh, 5:00 tomorrow,
307
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,642
Sunday, and see that--
308
00:13:28,709 --> 00:13:31,378
let's get in there
and show them how it's done.
309
00:13:34,381 --> 00:13:35,816
AARON: For the last two weeks,
I've been doing nothing,
310
00:13:35,883 --> 00:13:38,318
just, like, coming in, icing,
doing this every day.
311
00:13:38,385 --> 00:13:41,388
So I got to do this every day
just to try and keep my bulk.
312
00:13:41,455 --> 00:13:44,992
The Weymouth away is where,
uh, I did my hammy,
313
00:13:45,058 --> 00:13:47,294
my tendon, my hamstring.
314
00:13:47,361 --> 00:13:50,364
Toz played me a pass,
and I opened out to run.
315
00:13:50,430 --> 00:13:53,767
And I just felt a sharp, like,
pain in my hamstring.
316
00:13:53,834 --> 00:13:54,935
It wasn't a pop or anything,
317
00:13:55,002 --> 00:13:56,136
which is great,
'cause nothing went.
318
00:13:56,203 --> 00:13:58,138
But it's just, like,
a micro tear,
319
00:13:58,205 --> 00:14:00,073
but it was actually
in the tendon that got tore.
320
00:14:00,140 --> 00:14:03,610
So...the tendon tore,
and I just knew
321
00:14:03,677 --> 00:14:05,712
I couldn't go on after that
'cause the pain was sharp.
322
00:14:05,779 --> 00:14:08,182
And then at first
when the injury happens,
323
00:14:08,248 --> 00:14:09,650
you're just thinking--
324
00:14:09,716 --> 00:14:11,552
you hope it's not bad.
325
00:14:11,618 --> 00:14:13,220
Then obviously,
he told me what it was.
326
00:14:13,287 --> 00:14:18,325
And then...at that point,
I was just thinking...
327
00:14:18,392 --> 00:14:21,061
my season's over
and I can't help the boys.
328
00:14:21,128 --> 00:14:23,597
[indistinct chatter]
329
00:14:23,664 --> 00:14:25,332
Took a while to sink in.
330
00:14:30,037 --> 00:14:32,439
[indistinct chatter]
331
00:14:35,642 --> 00:14:39,546
[light music]
332
00:14:39,613 --> 00:14:42,282
ANNETTE: So today we're off to
the last game of the season.
333
00:14:42,349 --> 00:14:44,218
We're going
to Dagenham & Redbridge.
334
00:14:45,886 --> 00:14:47,287
I am nervous, to be honest.
335
00:14:47,354 --> 00:14:49,456
We've got four hours
until we get there,
336
00:14:49,523 --> 00:14:50,624
four and a bit,
337
00:14:50,691 --> 00:14:52,125
but I am excited,
338
00:14:52,192 --> 00:14:54,361
and I do think we're
definitely gonna go up.
339
00:14:54,428 --> 00:14:58,098
PERSON: Wrexham!
CROWD: Wrexham!
340
00:14:58,165 --> 00:15:02,402
Wrexham! Wrexham!
Wrexham! Wrexham!
341
00:15:02,469 --> 00:15:04,271
[horn honks]
342
00:15:04,338 --> 00:15:05,405
PERSON:
I've said since Christmas,
343
00:15:05,472 --> 00:15:07,274
we're gonna win the league.
344
00:15:07,341 --> 00:15:10,010
It's just a really good time
to be a Wrexham fan.
345
00:15:11,845 --> 00:15:14,348
[groans]
Is it too early to drink?
346
00:15:15,782 --> 00:15:19,253
[rhythmic clapping]
347
00:15:21,355 --> 00:15:23,123
- What the hell are you doing?
348
00:15:23,190 --> 00:15:25,626
- Uh, I'm working out
my anxiety through, uh,
349
00:15:25,692 --> 00:15:26,927
body movements.
350
00:15:26,994 --> 00:15:28,562
- Oh.
351
00:15:28,629 --> 00:15:31,665
[dramatic music]
352
00:15:36,703 --> 00:15:39,139
PERSON: We've got two hours
and seven minutes,
353
00:15:39,206 --> 00:15:41,108
not that I'm counting.
354
00:15:42,476 --> 00:15:43,944
PERSON 1: If the Hollywood
ending happens today...
355
00:15:44,011 --> 00:15:45,712
PERSON 2:
To Wrexham. Cheers.
356
00:15:45,779 --> 00:15:47,347
PERSON 3:
We'll do it again.
357
00:15:47,414 --> 00:15:49,316
SHAUN: The fact we're here,
the challenge today
358
00:15:49,383 --> 00:15:51,185
is actually what we were
seeking to try and achieve
359
00:15:51,251 --> 00:15:52,419
at the outset of the season.
360
00:15:52,486 --> 00:15:54,354
- To Halifax.
[speaking indistinctly]
361
00:15:54,421 --> 00:15:55,789
PERSON:
To Wrexham.
362
00:15:55,856 --> 00:15:57,191
- You know, and it's a credit
to everybody involved
363
00:15:57,257 --> 00:15:58,859
that we got ourselves
into this position.
364
00:15:58,926 --> 00:16:00,861
And, uh, we've got
90 minutes away
365
00:16:00,928 --> 00:16:02,162
from, uh, our destiny
being known.
366
00:16:02,229 --> 00:16:07,701
CROWD: Wrexham! Wrexham!
Wrexham! Wrexham! Wrexham!
367
00:16:07,768 --> 00:16:09,570
[crowd chanting indistinctly]
368
00:16:09,636 --> 00:16:11,171
- Good luck.
369
00:16:11,238 --> 00:16:13,006
We're all behind you.
370
00:16:14,908 --> 00:16:17,344
OLLIE: A horrible
wet, windy away day
371
00:16:17,411 --> 00:16:19,713
with a great set of lads
with a great...
372
00:16:19,780 --> 00:16:21,682
bunch of fans traveling.
373
00:16:21,748 --> 00:16:23,050
CROWD:
Wrexham!
374
00:16:23,116 --> 00:16:24,284
- I knew what I signed up to.
375
00:16:24,351 --> 00:16:26,653
I knew why I came here.
376
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,456
That's to get
this football club
377
00:16:29,523 --> 00:16:33,594
and give this town
something to cheer about.
378
00:16:34,828 --> 00:16:37,764
ANNOUNCER 1: Good afternoon
from the final league game
379
00:16:37,831 --> 00:16:39,633
of the National League season.
380
00:16:39,700 --> 00:16:42,102
All comes down to this.
381
00:16:46,907 --> 00:16:48,175
The equation is quite simple.
382
00:16:48,242 --> 00:16:49,843
Wrexham have
to win their game.
383
00:16:49,910 --> 00:16:52,179
And it's all eyes on Stockport
384
00:16:52,246 --> 00:16:54,047
in their game against Halifax.
385
00:16:55,215 --> 00:16:57,751
PERSON:
Even if Halifax doesn't win,
386
00:16:57,818 --> 00:16:59,920
we're still somewhere, right?
387
00:16:59,987 --> 00:17:01,221
Then we get the tournament.
- Yeah.
388
00:17:01,288 --> 00:17:02,756
ANNOUNCER 1:
And we're underway
389
00:17:02,823 --> 00:17:04,992
at the Chigwell Construction
Stadium.
390
00:17:10,797 --> 00:17:12,232
Paul Mullin
was not intercepted.
391
00:17:12,299 --> 00:17:13,567
He's on his own, though.
392
00:17:13,634 --> 00:17:16,103
ANNOUNCER 2: Well, Mullin
hits it low, just wide.
393
00:17:24,211 --> 00:17:25,045
ANNOUNCER 1:
He's still in the middle.
394
00:17:25,112 --> 00:17:26,613
Ollie Palmer at the back post.
395
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,982
He was just forced
away from goal.
396
00:17:32,619 --> 00:17:33,620
PERSON:
Uh-oh.
397
00:17:33,687 --> 00:17:35,322
- Oh, Stockport scored.
398
00:17:35,389 --> 00:17:37,090
- Oh.
399
00:17:37,991 --> 00:17:39,259
ANNOUNCER 1:
Goal at Stockport,
400
00:17:39,326 --> 00:17:41,261
not the news Wrexham wanted.
401
00:17:46,233 --> 00:17:49,970
PERSON: You could literally
hear it pass round the crowd.
402
00:17:52,973 --> 00:17:54,074
PHIL:
Stockport scored early.
403
00:17:54,141 --> 00:17:55,709
Obviously, the result,
the scoreline,
404
00:17:55,776 --> 00:17:58,078
filtered around
the Dagenham stadium.
405
00:17:59,713 --> 00:18:01,548
PAUL: Not many people get
to deal with pressure in life.
406
00:18:01,615 --> 00:18:04,051
And to have to do it every
week is, um, quite strange.
407
00:18:04,117 --> 00:18:05,552
You sort of get used to it,
408
00:18:05,619 --> 00:18:08,088
but obviously, it intensifies
as the season goes on.
409
00:18:10,491 --> 00:18:13,560
[crowd cheering]
410
00:18:16,096 --> 00:18:17,798
PHIL:
If, in the game of football,
411
00:18:17,865 --> 00:18:20,934
all the players looked as if
they had no energy at all,
412
00:18:21,001 --> 00:18:22,736
there's some reason for that.
413
00:18:29,877 --> 00:18:31,845
ANNOUNCER 1:
[indistinct] to punch it away,
414
00:18:31,912 --> 00:18:32,846
and that's it.
415
00:18:32,913 --> 00:18:34,748
Halftime, nil-nil.
416
00:18:39,753 --> 00:18:41,188
- Shit.
417
00:18:44,791 --> 00:18:46,126
PHIL:
70 fucking percent.
418
00:18:46,193 --> 00:18:48,162
It's 70% for me, right?
419
00:18:48,228 --> 00:18:50,297
So two things--
as a team, right, listen,
420
00:18:50,364 --> 00:18:52,032
we're coming off this fucking
pitch in the second half.
421
00:18:52,099 --> 00:18:53,967
And we're gonna
fucking put a shift in.
422
00:18:54,034 --> 00:18:56,537
We're gonna work
our fucking bollocks off,
423
00:18:56,603 --> 00:18:57,604
right, out of possession.
424
00:18:57,671 --> 00:18:59,339
And then we're gonna play.
425
00:18:59,406 --> 00:19:00,741
STEVE:
You're fucking tired.
426
00:19:00,807 --> 00:19:02,109
You're not pushing yourself
hard enough.
427
00:19:02,176 --> 00:19:04,378
Football's fucking hard.
That's what it is.
428
00:19:04,444 --> 00:19:07,247
If we have to carry you
off the pitch after 98 minutes,
429
00:19:07,314 --> 00:19:08,549
we will carry you
off the pitch.
430
00:19:08,615 --> 00:19:10,717
Get up against the man
you're playing against
431
00:19:10,784 --> 00:19:12,085
and be better than him.
432
00:19:12,152 --> 00:19:13,720
Be better than
the center half, Ollie,
433
00:19:13,787 --> 00:19:15,189
you and Mulls.
434
00:19:15,255 --> 00:19:16,723
Get in the fucking box
when the cross is out.
435
00:19:16,790 --> 00:19:19,526
Be better than the man
you're playing against,
436
00:19:19,593 --> 00:19:22,029
and you'll win this
fucking game, all right?
437
00:19:22,095 --> 00:19:22,796
PHIL: Come on, boys.
- Fucking come on, then.
438
00:19:22,863 --> 00:19:24,231
PHIL:
Come on. Come on.
439
00:19:24,298 --> 00:19:26,066
STEVE: If Mulls and Ollie are
closing, then we back them up.
440
00:19:26,133 --> 00:19:28,135
PERSON: [singing]
Wrexham, we do
441
00:19:28,202 --> 00:19:30,304
We love you, Wrexham, we do
442
00:19:30,370 --> 00:19:32,673
We love you, Wrexham,
we do
443
00:19:32,739 --> 00:19:35,409
Oh, Wrexham, we love you
444
00:19:35,475 --> 00:19:38,312
- Come on, Wrexham!
PERSON: Go get him, JJ!
445
00:19:39,313 --> 00:19:40,848
- Come on, come on, come on.
446
00:19:40,914 --> 00:19:43,750
[tense music]
447
00:19:46,153 --> 00:19:47,921
ROB: Jeez.
PERSON: Uh-oh.
448
00:19:47,988 --> 00:19:50,090
- They're just all over us.
449
00:19:52,726 --> 00:19:53,727
ANNOUNCER 1:
Bryce is in on his right foot.
450
00:19:53,794 --> 00:19:54,895
He hits it. He's in.
451
00:19:54,962 --> 00:19:56,597
[crowd cheering]
452
00:19:56,663 --> 00:19:58,432
And that's been coming,
453
00:19:58,499 --> 00:20:01,101
and with 55 minutes
on the clock.
454
00:20:01,168 --> 00:20:02,970
- Dagenham battered us,
basically, you know?
455
00:20:04,671 --> 00:20:06,373
ANNOUNCER 1:
The back post, McCallum, goal.
456
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,276
[crowd cheering]
457
00:20:10,110 --> 00:20:11,278
JORDAN:
It wasn't good enough.
458
00:20:11,345 --> 00:20:12,779
We all knew
it wasn't good enough.
459
00:20:12,846 --> 00:20:14,848
ANNOUNCER 1: See McCallum
lays off to Robinson,
460
00:20:14,915 --> 00:20:19,653
3-nil, and it just gets worse
and worse for Wrexham.
461
00:20:21,522 --> 00:20:22,689
- Fuck!
462
00:20:23,991 --> 00:20:26,527
[singers vocalizing]
463
00:20:26,593 --> 00:20:28,061
AARON: Yeah, it's tough
to watch from the sideline
464
00:20:28,128 --> 00:20:30,430
this team not performing,
you know?
465
00:20:30,497 --> 00:20:33,066
But I can't say nothing 'cause
I'm not playing, you know?
466
00:20:34,401 --> 00:20:37,337
PAUL: I think, leading up
to that game, there--
467
00:20:37,404 --> 00:20:39,072
there was no talk that we could
possibly lose the game.
468
00:20:39,139 --> 00:20:40,707
There was all talk
that we were gonna--
469
00:20:40,774 --> 00:20:42,276
we were gonna win the game.
470
00:20:42,342 --> 00:20:44,678
As a squad, we probably
got carried away with that.
471
00:20:44,745 --> 00:20:47,047
[crowd chanting indistinctly]
[whistle blows]
472
00:20:47,114 --> 00:20:48,715
ANNOUNCER 1:
Wrexham's regular season
473
00:20:48,782 --> 00:20:51,018
ends in a 3-nil away defeat
474
00:20:51,084 --> 00:20:52,719
to Dagenham & Redbridge.
475
00:20:52,786 --> 00:20:54,354
Phil Parkinson's side
476
00:20:54,421 --> 00:20:56,957
finish second in the
Vanarama National League.
477
00:20:57,991 --> 00:20:59,159
- All right, well,
let's go get it.
478
00:20:59,226 --> 00:21:00,294
Let's go get it at Wembley.
479
00:21:00,360 --> 00:21:02,229
And--and let's go get it
at Wrexham.
480
00:21:02,296 --> 00:21:05,999
And let's go get it again
in, uh, West Ham.
481
00:21:06,066 --> 00:21:07,568
- Yeah, exactly.
482
00:21:07,634 --> 00:21:09,736
ROB: All right. Talk soon.
- All right.
483
00:21:09,803 --> 00:21:12,139
I love that the fans
are still behind them.
484
00:21:12,206 --> 00:21:15,175
[crowd chanting indistinctly]
485
00:21:15,242 --> 00:21:18,278
[somber music]
486
00:21:26,486 --> 00:21:28,121
JORDAN: It's hard,
because I never want
487
00:21:28,188 --> 00:21:31,225
to let the fans down.
488
00:21:31,291 --> 00:21:33,093
I wanted to give
the people of the town
489
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,763
exactly what they deserve
for all their--their passion
490
00:21:36,830 --> 00:21:39,299
and--and their following.
491
00:21:39,366 --> 00:21:42,402
[crowd singing indistinctly]
492
00:21:53,814 --> 00:21:55,349
PHIL: It is a great honor
to be on the touchline
493
00:21:55,415 --> 00:21:57,117
with support like that.
494
00:21:57,184 --> 00:21:59,052
You know, the--the fans
were outstanding for us,
495
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:00,754
but they have been all season.
496
00:22:00,821 --> 00:22:03,590
Today they knew
that Stockport were winning.
497
00:22:03,657 --> 00:22:05,726
They knew that the lads
looked as if
498
00:22:05,792 --> 00:22:07,861
the stuffing had been knocked
out of them a little bit.
499
00:22:07,928 --> 00:22:09,029
And they kind of
understood that
500
00:22:09,096 --> 00:22:10,764
and gave the lads
amazing support,
501
00:22:10,831 --> 00:22:12,099
as they've done all season.
502
00:22:12,166 --> 00:22:14,001
And, you know,
it's a--a great privilege
503
00:22:14,067 --> 00:22:15,335
to be the manager
on the touchline
504
00:22:15,402 --> 00:22:16,670
in front of those supporters.
505
00:22:16,737 --> 00:22:19,339
And, you know, we've got
a great opportunity now
506
00:22:19,406 --> 00:22:21,642
to finish this season
in style.
507
00:22:21,708 --> 00:22:25,379
[crowd singing indistinctly]
508
00:22:25,445 --> 00:22:28,715
RYAN: When Rob dragged me
into this insanity,
509
00:22:28,782 --> 00:22:31,952
I think that the most common
thing we heard was,
510
00:22:32,019 --> 00:22:33,854
"Why Wrexham?"
511
00:22:33,921 --> 00:22:36,156
ANNOUNCER 1: Not one Wrexham
fan has left the stadium.
512
00:22:36,223 --> 00:22:37,791
They're not gonna let
this team leave
513
00:22:37,858 --> 00:22:40,427
without showing them
what this season has meant.
514
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,769
RYAN:
That question was answered,
515
00:22:48,836 --> 00:22:50,771
I mean, so many times
throughout the season,
516
00:22:50,838 --> 00:22:53,674
but I think that's why.
517
00:22:53,740 --> 00:22:56,677
[crowd singing indistinctly]
518
