Episode 259 - Wrexham home groans after Birmingham stalemate PLUS Wrexham Women on the rise

A full house of Rhys, Andy, Tim and Liam pick the bones out of the draw with Birmingham and ask is it great we’re unbeaten in five or was it a massive missed opportunity?

Lewis O’Brien actually scoring a one on one was mentioned...#wrexhamafc #ryanreynolds #robmcelhenney #birminghamcity #championship #leicestercity #wales #walesfootball  Enjoy this Fat Boar-sponsored episode?

Well, is this a cracker of an hour with Wrexham AFC non executive director Shaun Harvey who lifts the lid on the busiest transfer window we’ve ever known.Thirteen players have come in from Manchester City, Nottingham Forest, Leicester and many (many) more clubs.

Episode 252 - Never Mind the Ballots &D QPR Preview

Andy and Tim tackle a thorny subject - tickets or indeed lack of them for #wrexhamafc​ fans. Five ballots have been announced in quick succession and some loyal fans have ended up with nothing. Nada. Zilch. We know the club is in an unenvious position of trying to make it fair so we pick the bones out of the ballot system. We ask if there is a fairer way and read some of your comments on a divisive subject.We also have an inside track from club about the Fan Advisory Board, the loyalty scheme and a new appointment they hope will make things better.Then we’re joined by Ben from the W12 QPR podcast to talk all things Rangers from their new boss, new signings - including a certain Richard Kone - and why ex-Hoop Karl Connolly is the best player ever (this may have been a one-sided opinion). Can we win on Saturday? Ben thinks we have a chance.#wrexhamafc​ #ryanreynolds​ #robmcelhenney​ #queensparkrangers #championship​ #norwichcity ​ #wrexhamafc #wrexham #championship #wrexhamfc #wxmafcEnjoy this Fat Boar-sponsored episode?

Episode 251 - Saying goodbye to Wrexham AFC heroes PLUS why are away days so expensive?

There may be no games but Andy, Tim and Liam have plenty to talk about from Wrexham Women’s impressive 5-2 opening day victory to us all hating Norwich City for their pricing scheme - and what we should do about it (look away Carrow Road janitors). Five home matches on sale in one go - is it fair and does it affect atmosphere?We also look at the omissions from the 25-man squad and the loss of Eoghan O’Connell. This brings us to the main order of the day. Our reflections on the players we’ve lost this season and what they’ve meant to us and the club. These are Eoghan O’Connell, Sam Dalby, Mark Howard, Jordan Davies, Will Boyle, Luke McNicholas, Luke Bolton, Ollie Palmer, George Evans, Jack Marriott, Steven Fletcher, Paul Mullin, Jake Bickerstaff, Mo Faal, Seb Revan, Callum Edwards, Tom O'Connor and Jacob Mendy. That’s a lot and we’ll always treasure their contributions (although some more than others). We also ask which ones we would have keptEnjoy this Fat Boar-sponsored episode?
