Wrexham is a Welsh town which is very close to the Welsh/English border. Much like Swansea City or Cardiff City, they play in the English football ladder rather than the Welsh system. Wrexham is just south of Chester, and not far north of Shrewsbury. The nearest major city for residents to visit is Liverpool.

Promotion would see them play in League Two. Another three promotions and they'll make it to the Premier League. Easier said than done.

The show follows the new owners and the team as they navigate their way through the 2021/22 season. A second series is being made now, which follows the 2022/23 season.
