They talked about what it’s like to have a documentary team. Palmer said, “It’s mad, but again I go back to the character in that dressing room., it’s not distracting anyone. The documentary guys are a part of the furniture. They’re just there all the time, they’re really lovely people, and they try to stay out of the way; it’s great. A lot of the lads embrace it. It makes it a really fun place to be. That’s why everyone ultimately wants to come here.”

“Why does every league one and championship player that I know now want to come here? Is it really because we’ve just got promoted into League Two? No F*****g chance, right?’ It’s because of everything” the striker added. Wrexham is now in the United States to play four important practice matches. This will help them prepare for their first season in the Football League since 2008.
