Fearless in Devotion

It’s close season but that doesn’t mean there isn’t plenty to discuss for Andy, Tim and Liam in the world of Wrexham AFC. There’s big transfer rumours and we say goodbye to a true hero of our rise.

We also look at the play-off picture, the Kop development, rumours about the US trip and we explore a possible increase in season ticket prices.

And even that’s not all. We also examine at the possible retained list for the men’s team and the actual retained list for the women. Then...

The next Fearless in Devotion live night podcast is live and you’re about to have a classy 40 minutes with a cool customer - double promotion winning captain Ben Tozer.

His big reveal was all summed up in one word... Wrestlemania. How did Wrexham get promoted from the National League? They made a square out of bags and at the end of each night, the lads wrestled each other. Who was hardest? Listen to find out. 

He also takes us through the silliest fines, repeat offenders and his future as a top-rated manager in t...

It's the end of the season and whatever people say, it HAS been a good one. Tim, Andy, Rhys and Liam look back at the Middlesbrough game and the chance we missed to reach the play offs.

But then we look back at the season overall with the unofficial - and hastily arranged - FiD awards. We look at our player and young player of the season nominations, the surprise package and the most underwhelming star.

We name the best goal of the season and the performance that made us say ‘yeah, we’ve a...

Are you guys in for a treat. We’ve got not one but two great guests for you today, two McElhenneys for the price of one. You may know Rob (he sort of owns the place) but his dad Bob will win your heart. What a guy. In this special (and longer episode) we talk all Wrexham as Bob lifts the lid on Rob’s motivation behind his move for Wrexham. We talk best goals, best games, best swearing and a beautiful tribute to Philip J Parkinson. We look at the Kop and what Rob wants to do next plus...

It’s going down to the wire. Rhys, Tim and Andy look at the loss against Champions Coventry and ask was it a free hit or a f**k up? We reveal high news about a prospective guest before going through the missed opportunity at the Coventry Arena. Was it bad defending for the opener? Did Issa Kabore mean to cut back exactly there for the equaliser? If Thomason strike goes in instead of hitting the post do we get at least a point. But the big question is… should Danny Ward have done better with the free-kick? There are...

It's the next part of the Fearless in Devotion live night! Here Wrexham Women's boss Jenny Sugarman gave us a class half hour answering the big questions about a mega successful season - the biggest in our history.

There's a bit about her, how she got the job (it was old school), targets this term, standout moment, Wales vs England, Wrexham vs South Wales, European nights, hopes for the future and if we can ever be the 'best in the world' side that Ryan and Rob want. There's lots, lots more so spend 30 minutes with a...

It's back in our hands. Amazing really considering where we were after the Birmingham defeat but you can never count out Philip J Parkinson. Andy, Tim and Liam look at the scrappy win at Oxford and see where it leaves us in the play off hunt.

We discuss how good Matty James was, why Josh Windass is the match winner (again) at the right time of the season and how Dom Hyam was superb at the back. But do we have problems down the right hand side though with two massive games ahead?

...

Wrexham are back in with a shout of the play-offs. Rhys, Tim, Liam and Andy examine our rather comfortable win against Stoke, while biggest play off rivals Hull could only manage a draw.

Phil Parkinson made some big calls dropping Arthur Okonkwo and Max Cleworth and there’s differing opinions on whether he was right to do it.

We also ask if Josh Windass has the X-Factor to get us over the line, is Callum Doyle back to his best and who is our early shout for player of the season. We predict wh...

It was the latest Fearless in Devotion live night at the Maesgwyn Hall on Thursday (April 17) and we couldn’t leave you hanging. Wrexham CEO Michael Williamson gave us 50 minutes of his time and answered all the big questions you posed to him (and a few from us).

These include: loyalty scheme (or lack of it), away pricing, season tickets in the future, lots and lots (and lots) on the Kop, plus the rest of the ground development, the training ground, the academy, the pre-season tours and the transfer window rated and slated.

Oh...

Is the play off dream gone? That’s the stark question Andy and Tim have to answer after another horrific defeat in a week seems to have derailed a season. Too many players were off par and we’re looking at you Max, Arthur, George Dobson and Matty James.

We pick the bones out of a painful defeat at bogey side Birmingham and ask if there are positives we can take into the last four games of the season. We also re-rate the transfer window and go through the final few games and try to identify where we c...

Welcome to the ‘Wrexham got hammered’ edition - they don’t happen very often! We look at what went wrong but we have to take our hats off to Southampton. They are the benchmark we need to reach.

But first we reveal some big news! Then we dive into the analysis and ask if Parky or the players are to blame plus what we can do to turn things around. We all agree the play offs push is not over by a long way.

We mention our most infamous hammerings and preview the now huge...

Welcome to the Easter sore head edition. Tim, Andy and to a lesser extent Liam hit West Brom hard but like the team, we’ve recovered (well, sort of).

We ask why were Wrexham so passive in the first half and so good in the second. Was Arthur to blame for the first and why was Issa definitely to blame of the second.

But then, the second half - how good was Windass and have we made peace with him not celebrating. We look at two beautiful goals and one amazing, world class sa...

Another little bonus for you! In a finance special Liam and Andy are joined by Dan Plumley senior lecturer in football finance at Sheffield Hallam University for a fascinating deep dive into Wrexham AFC’s record-breaking finances.

We delve into the £33.3m turnover, the £14.8m losses and the amazing 57.7% rest of the world revenue. And we ask the big questions such as are Wrexham effectively a Premier League business, does being such a global brand carry risks and is a £70m Kop Stand the only way we can go. We examine the private equity boost from Apollo inves...

​In the mid-90s, they were just two university mates dreaming of careers in sports broadcasting. Fast forward to today and Adrian Chiles and Bryn Law find themselves on opposite sides of a massive Championship clash: Wrexham vs. West Brom.

​In this exclusive sit-down, the two veteran broadcasters reminisce about their student days, their parallel journeys through the media world, and the surreal reality of their beloved clubs finally facing off on the big stage.

​In this episode:

We’ve done it. Wrexham Woman are Adran champions and European football is coming back to the Racecourse. We go through an amazing win for Jenny Sugerman’s charges. The match has been a culmination of great work by Gemma Jones over a long period of time of time as she realises a dream. We have special mention for Lili Jones, Faye Knox and of course top goal scorer Katie Barker.

There’s also the small matter of record-breaking Wrexham AFC accounts. Liam was one of a few journalists invited to the media briefing and he takes throug...

She’s one of the stars of Welcome to Wrexham and Rob and Ryan’s official Welsh translator. As a reporter she’s been caught up in coups and visited nuclear disasters but nothing could prepare her for her own battle over the last 18 months.

In a Fearless in Devotion special, Andy and Liam talk to Maxine Hughes as she lifts the lid on her battle with triple negative cancer. She reveals how the Wrexham AFC family helped her - especially Rob Mac and Ryan Reynolds.

She also talks how Welcome to Wrexham has ch...

We’re back in the race. After a brilliant smash and grab against Sheffield United Rhys, Tim and Andy ask if that was the best win of the season. We examine just how Parky’s battered army managed to turn it around at Bramall Lane and what it means for the play-off picture. Rhys lays into our fans in an amazing, and slightly unhinged tirade, while we hail Sam Smith, Issa Kabore and George Thomason for their recent efforts.

We also examine a brilliant win with a brilliant goal for Wrexham Women, calls up to the Welsh side...

The battle for the play-offs is heating up as Wrexham have left the door open to the chasing pack. Andy, Tim and Liam discuss Tuesday’s loss to Watford and ask was it tiredness, or something more?

Who is the most knackered out there and who do we really need back after the international break? But really, is everyone just overreacting and do we need to get real?

We look at the referee’s performance, the race for the play offs and ask if we really had a good transfer window in the cold...

The Welsh Derby didn’t disappoint - at least if you’re of a North Walian persuasion! This week on Fearless in Devotion, Liam, Tim and Andy bask in the glow of a clinical 2-0 win for Wrexham over Swansea City under the Friday night lights.

In this episode:

Swansea Reaction: Was it a case of "substance over style"? Swansea had the ball, but Wrexham had the goals. We discuss Arthur Okonkwo silencing the Jacks, standout shifts from Doyle and Hyam, and the bitter reactions from South Wales.

The Commentary Box...

It’s Welsh derby time as Tim, Liam and Andy preview the big match against Swansea at the Cae Ras on Friday.

There’s certain to be some star power with Ryan Reynolds - fresh from watching the Hull match from the tech end - and Rob Mac coming over to commentate. There’s also chance of a certain Snoop Dogg making an appearance - but what team should we play?

We look at how injuries have bitten and ask what we’d change for the visit of the Jacks. We also pour through t...

Wow....caught your breath yet? An exhausted Tim and stunned Liam look back at Wrexham's glorious FA Cup defeat to Chelsea and why there are far more positives than negatives.

We also dig deep into the main talking points, which all centred around Wrexham’s first taste of VAR.

Was it or wasn't it a red card for George Dobson? Did Lewis Brunt's toenail really gain an unfair advantage?

Plus: Was that the best Cae Ras atmosphere in a long time? Why is Garnacho so disliked? Karate Kid star in th...

It’s the tie everyone has been waiting for as Wrexham welcome Premier League giants Chelsea to a sold-out Racecourse Ground for a massive FA Cup fifth round clash on Saturday.

In this episode, Rhys, Liam and Andy are joined by Wrexham legend Andy Morrell and Chelsea expert Harry Brent to break down the tactical battle, the emotional history between the two clubs and how the Red Dragons can pull off the ultimate giant-killing.

We also look ahead to the newly announced 2026 US Tour and check in on the Championship play-off race after Hu...

Happy St. David’s Day! Join Rhys, Tim and Liam as we recap another massive week for the Town. We kick things off by dissecting the Charlton result, debating whether Wrexham are riding a wave of luck after those heroic blocks from Dobson and Kaboré. With Ollie Rathbone staking his claim for player of the season and Arthur Okonkwo pulling off a world-class save, we ask just how far this momentum can take us.

Beyond the men's first team, we celebrate a historic afternoon at the Cardiff City Stadium where Wrexham Women defeated Cardiff 3-1 in fro...

Phil Parkinson's Wrexham winning machine rolls on as Tim, Andy and Liam dissect nervy 2-1 win over Portsmouth which has cemented our place in the play-offs. We ask the big question: are we now looking above us rather than behind?

We also dive deep into a massive Racecourse Ground rumour regarding the Chelsea match and potential stadium changes that could affect every supporter. (Note: This remains unconfirmed by the club, but we break down what it could mean if true!)

Finally, we're joined by guest Callum to preview our trip to Charlton Athletic...

What a weekend for Wrexham AFC. Not only did the men pull off one of their greatest results since the takeover - the women’s side snared their first bit of silverware. Tim, Andy and Rhys are ecstatic as they look at both amazing victories. As well as reflecting on Jenny Sugarman’s history makers we ask: was that Lewis O’Brien’s AND George Thomason’s best game for Wrexham and how much credit must go to Parky for moulding ANOTHER promotion hunting team?

We also look at a near assault on one our players, ask if Ben She...

SORRY THIS IS LATE!!!

Andy and Tim take a brief look back at Tuesday's 2-2 at Bristol City before wondering how many changes Phil Parkinson will make ahead of Saturday's visit of Ipswich Town, just eight days after defeating them in the FA Cup.

PLUS: Eurovision X Wrexham AFC; is Kaboré nearing his best form?; why Lewis O'Brien is feeling confident ahead of the Chelsea clash.

This is a big one. Wrexham have drawn Chelsea in the FA Cup — and once again the eyes of the football world are on the Red Dragons.

Andy, Liam and special guest Simon Cooke react to the blockbuster tie, exploring the surprising connections between Wrexham and the West London giants.

They look at why Phil Parkinson seems to have a cup hoodoo over Chelsea, revisit previous pre-season “friendlies” between the sides, and ask whether this draw feels written in the stars.

The episode also covers Wrexham’s FA Cup victory over Ips...

This is a big one. Andy, Tim and Liam sit down with Wrexham non-executive director Shaun Harvey for an in-depth look at the Red Dragons’ January transfer window. He reveals the strategy, how close the club came to landing some major names and the inside story behind the three deals that did get over the line.

Harvey also reflects on five years under Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac's ownership, sharing behind-the-scenes insight into how the ownership model works - plus a few brilliant stories along the way.

To round things off, he gives hi...

Well, you can’t win them all and Rhys, Liam and Andy are on hand to dissect the Millwall defeat. Did they out-Wrexham us, was Max really to blame for the opener and are injuries going to cost us? Dr Rhys is on hand to help us on that last one. We also discuss Millwall fans being a little fighty in a throwback to the bad old days.

Then we dive headlong into a thorny issue. The remarks from Elliot Lee and Paul Mullin that seemingly call out Phil Parkinson and his treatment of them. Who is in...

It’s done. In fact, you could say it’s Keillor-Dunn. Liam, Andy and Tim rate and slate Wrexham's transfer window as it slams shut with THREE new recruits arriving at the Racecourse Ground.

We break down the signings of Zak Vyner from Bristol City, Davis Keillor-Dunn from Barnsley and Bailey Cadamarteri from Sheffield Wednesday. We also look at how they fit into the squad and then name our first choice starting XI.

We also talk about the ones that got away - we’re looking at you, right wing-backs - and some emotio...

Tim, Andy, Liam and Rhys pore through another away - our fourth in a row - at Sheffield Wednesday and ask if we’re cementing ourselves in the play-offs. We also ask who is our preferred striker, Keiffer Moore or Sam Smith, what a day out in Sheffield is like and is that the best goalie clearance we can remember?

We then go head long into transfers, with all the latest names linked which we rate and slate including Zak Vyner. We also say goodbye to the likes of Paul Mullin, Andy Cannon and to a lesser de...

Andy and Liam are joined by two special guests for this midweek FiD episode as we preview Saturday’s big game at Sheffield Wednesday.

First we look at that match with Mirror Sports editor and Wednesday fan James Whaling. He takes us through the whole horrible saga and explains it for the layman with echoes of what happened to us. But there is hope as the Owls enter administration.

He also tells us more about Josh Windass’ ‘celebrations’ before we delve into the transfer latest. Look away James, one of the names is Wednesda...

Rhys, Andy, Liam and Tim are happy. We’re over the moon as Wrexham AFC are in the play off positions after a truly stunning last-gasp win against Queen’s Park Rangers that left us all breathless.

We examine how a lacklustre first half turned into a barnstorming second, we hail Josh Windass as the best sub performance ever and ask - is this best Wrexham away performance we’ve experienced? We got star spotting at Loftus Road and review the posh seats

On top of that we look into...

In this midweek Fearless podcast, we zoom out and tackle the big picture at Wrexham AFC, as well as James McClean's farewell and that gesture to the away fans.

We’re joined by a man who’s literally written the book on Wrexham’s modern history. Ian Herbert, deputy chief sports writer at the Daily Mail, joins Andy and Liam to provide his insight on the wider forces shaping the club on and off the pitch.

First, we react to the late sucker punch against Leicester, debate our preferred XIs and ask whether the at...

Well, you can't win them all. Wrexham's five-match winning run is over and Andy, Rhys, Liam and guest Barry Jones pick through the loss to Norwich.

We hail Arthur, but lament some poor performances - especially in the second period. We also pose a few questions including should Keiffer Moore start against Leicester and does Josh Windass fit in?

There's also big news with a goodbye to a legend in James McClean but we're glad we're holding on to another in Max Cleworth.

There's celeb guest, big transfer news and the Kop latest...

This time out Andy and Liam are joined by former Welsh international and BBC Feast of Football pundit Iwan Roberts to dive into his old club, Norwich. But first we reflect on the Nottingham Forest FA Cup win and if Wrexham should move for a top level Championship striker ready for a transfer.

We look at Norwich’s problems this season and if they can overcome them, plus a deep dive into how he sees Phil Parkinson’s side developing - and what our ambitions should be. There’s even time for a few tales about Parkin...

Join Tim, Liam and Andy as we rave about an unforgettable FA Cup upset for Wrexham after beating Premier League side Nottingham Forest on penalties under the lights at the Racecourse Ground.

We discuss Arthur Okonkwo's heroic performance in goal and whether he's the best keeper we've seen. Where does that result rank in the pantheon of Wrexham's storied FA Cup history and who were the standout players?

We also chat about transfers and do we really need many tweaks? PLUS who does everyone want in Monday's fourth round draw?

...

FA Cup fever has gripped North Wales and who better to talk about it with than an icon of the Welsh footballing scene. Tim and Andy are joined by famed documentary maker Jonny Owen who also happens to be a director of our Friday opponents Nottingham Forest. 

He tells us the story about exactly how that happened to a boy from Merthyr, plus covering Wrexham in his early days as a TV journalist. He regales us his fondness for Wrexham, his love of Welcome to Wrexham and a few fair brilliant stories - one involving a w...

Wrexham are rampant - and we’re here for it. Rhys, Tim, Liam and Andy discuss another brilliant win - Phil Parkinson’s fourth in a row. And we hail the Parky effect as we sit ninth - just one point off the play offs. We discuss how Parky’s done it and do we give him enough credit. We also hail Broadhead, Sam Smith and of course Matty James with THAT strike.

We also look through the latest transfer news as we seemingly battle Crystal Palace for a player and we ask a simple question - can we...

Tim, Andy, and Liam are back to toast a perfect start to 2026 as the town marched into Ewood Park and left with all three points.

It wasn't the New Year's Day team sheet many expected. The lads discuss the initial "pre-match panic" at a starting XI missing Josh Windass, Nathan Broadhead, and Kieffer Moore. Super Sam Smith got the nod, though, and didn't disappoint, getting us off the mark against Blackburn and proving he can lead the line in the Championship.

Ollie Rathbone didn't just look the part - he owned the pitch...
