In a strange set of coincidences, my family and I actually visited Wrexham and walked around the stadium several years ago, right after Rob and Ryan bought the club. We were in north Wales to see the castles, and went to Wrexham to see the church, which is the burial place of Elihu Yale, the guy who gave all the money to found Yale University. My dad went to Yale for grad school, so I thought it would be cool to see and get some pictures for him. Wrexham AFC really wasn't a big deal then, though a couple of the locals asked us if we knew anything about the new owners, as if we would know! We go to Wales often, my mother-in-law was a war bride from Swansea in south Wales, and met my father-in-law in London during the war. She went looking there looking for work and he was a US Navy code clerk working in the embassy there, they met in a pub. My wife's relatives all still live in Swansea, and are all Swansea Jacks, supporters of the Swansea club. One of the uncles lives in the hills above the Liberty Stadium, you can look down in there the at night when it's all lit up. Been to that stadium several times, it's only a mile walk from the uncle's house. Also been to The Vetch, Swansea's old grounds in downtown Swansea.
Swansea City AFC has an eerily similar story to Wrexham. There is a documentary film from about 10 years ago called Jack To A King, tells how Swansea City went from almost bankrupt and in the lowest levels of the Football League to the Premiership.
