00:00Yeah, it's been different. It's totally different, but we've enjoyed it and the area, Wrexham
00:07area, has been uplifted by the football team doing well, but equally the owners and the
00:14feel-good factor they've brought into the area, the American tourists and tourists from
00:19other countries coming round to look at the racecourse ground. And obviously when Rob
00:25and Ryan bought the football club, one of the aims was to see could a successful team
00:32transform an area, and I think certainly it's along the way of doing that. You really feel
00:37it in the town that everybody's walking around with a smile on their face and enjoying being
00:43part of it, because I think everyone is a part of it. And for those of you who know
00:47the story, Wrexham Football Club has had a lot of tough times in being in the National
00:53League for 15 years, a lot of times nearly went out of business. So all those people
00:57who were there through the tough times are really enjoying this ride, and so right. We
01:03want to keep the story going, and the way we do that is by keep producing teams which
01:08can win football games and keep us competitive at the top of our respective division.
