Ryan Reynolds-owned Wrexham set to face Melbourne Victory

I don't get the backlash and dismissiveness around this match. It's a friendly against an international opponent, it happens every preseason all over the world. Seems like people want to shit on anything just for the sake of it.

3rd division opponent mate.... Whats next their preseason hitouts against Kingston City or Frankston Pines will be played at Marvel stadium?

No real backlash from my tbh I just find it a little cringy that a couple of thousand (at best) people will throng to a huge stadium dressed as superheroes to sit bored through 90s mins of a sport they have no interest in just for the chance to get a glimpse of an actor ... Horses for courses I suppose.

Wrexham toured around USA and if the Australian match is successful they will probably go to other countries as well

EFL third division is still a much stronger league than the Z-league

And a grilled cheese toastie has a stronger position than Lupi.

Funny the shit you can make up on internet forums without evidence.

Nothing says strong league like a Wrexham promotion out of it. Maybe a Shrewsbury tour should follow.

EFL League one is a full time league. Clubs have bigger budgets and market value than Z-league clubs. Z-league has a nearly 5 month offseason. Furthermore Z-league budgets are over the odds because the reality of Australian football is players are paid more than they're worth as incentive to play in this league.

do you require any more evidence?

Seriously HG,
For starters IDGAF BUT friendlies etc are not really helping our game here but for the sugar $ hit at the time of this occurring.
Do you really think the "casuals" who will attend this game will turn into AL supporters let alone the game ? ofcourse not.
They'll be there in HOPE to see Reynolds/his partner whatever his name is and just be there for another promotional friggin night for a outing thats it period !
Oh all the wrong time for the game to get some headlines, off season yaddayadda but that its a Club funded by hollywood actors that will get the press - oh probably the token sherrin pics as well yet some here will go isn't this good for the game lol.....
We know it happens world over but it really is nothing to right home about here for we have NEVER capitilised on any good exposure incl our WC runs.

Agree with this.
As far as preseason friendlies go, this isn't bad at all.
There's plenty to complain about W.R.T. football in Australia, but a preseason friendly against a team which has garnered a lot of interest over the last few years isn't one of them.

Wrexham have a lot of people (who wouldn't otherwise be that interested in football) following them.
I reckon this will pull a larger crowd than a preseason friendly against at least a quarter of the teams currently in the Premier league would.

It's just a promotor organizing this match it's got nothing to do with Australian football. Wrexham will probably go to China or somewhere else next season
