Netflix using Wrexham in a promo for Ryan Reynolds' new film:

Seeing EmzCakes in a Netflix ad is so odd. Used to eat there all the time.

Last time I was there the bus station was full of druggies.

This is a nice gesture:

Recsam is ok.

Fucking hell. We're a city...

Newport and Wrexham are cities now. What a time to be alive.  Now Wrexham folk will just have to watch almost everything local and traditional or cultural be ripped down to make way for gaudy shopping centres and trendy shit.

Is this because of Rob and Ryan investing in the club?

[BritishHobo]

Probably. That or the decision makers looked at the history of attempts and went "fucking hell, just give it to them then".

Feels surreal that it's actually happened. It's not going down well, which feels inevitable. Doesn't seem like there was any appetite for it at all outside of the councillors who pushed for it.

I saw a tweet from someone saying they're gonna pop into the city centre tomorrow for a coffee, which really made me laugh as someone who, if I'm planning to go shopping in Cardiff centre, will say I'm "going into town".

Presumably just so councillors can get in close with bigger businesses who'll look to invest in a city, fuck knows why anyone wants it really.

[Gurke and Hare]

Doncaster. Bloody hell.

[buttgammon]

We did, it, we did it!

Insert Kamala Harris gif

[BritishHobo]

If we don't get City of Culture after this, something's wrong. How could any contender show more dedication to the title than literally becoming a city mid-process?

[PowerButchi]

Proud to be from Plas Madoc today. Well done Wrexham! We'll get new signs now. And fuck all else.

[Blue Jam]

Woo-hoo!










Nah, struggling to get exciting about this. Thanks all the same, Wrob and Wryan.

[Twonty Gostelow]

Should have given it to Caergwrle, but that obviously wouldn't fit the narrative of the Ryan and Ronnie Robbie documentary that's still filming.

Hope they don't fuck up the play-offs after all of this.

Wrexham (/ˈrɛksəm/ REKS-əm; Welsh: Wrecsam; Welsh pronunciation: [ˈrɛksam]) is a market town and the administrative centre of Wrexham County Borough in Wales.

Someone better get on this.

Does that mean it's now a market city?

Leant just then other day, Wrexham has the smallest sailing club in the world. They sail on a farm pond that looks about 200m diameter called The Flash. 65 pound/year dues, I may join

You do that, and go to the pub next door while you're at it - it's really nice!

[BritishHobo]

That pond will be a Pret by Sunday; it's all over.

Newport wasn't a city before? What the fuck, it's massive

It was in the early 00s I think.

The Pant-your-Ochain? Supposedly translates as the Hollow of Lamentation, a great name for a pub if true (and it probably isn't).
It's been a 'posh' evening out favourite for generations of Wrexhamians - bit like the Trevor Arms.

NOT ACTUALLY GOING TO GO THERE, JESUS

The very pub! Pre-covid, it used to be where I went for Sunday lunch with my family when I was back home.

Or the Corn Mill in Llan

Watching my first Wrexham game in about twenty years on S4C. My brother, who is  lifelong fan and not a gloryhunting twat like me, is at the match. Very surreal to see Serena from Gossip Girl wearing a Wrexham AFC scarf.

[buttgammon]

C'mon the town city!

[Twonty Gostelow]

C'mon the town city!

Oh.



Maybe they can get Tom Cruise for the play-offs.

[PowerButchi]

Just back from Wembley. We were fucking dire.

Wrexham City AFC now is it?

This needs a rewrite as well:
