ikri Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 3 hours ago, Optimistic Nut said: Yeah that's what I was meaning. What they've done for Wrexham and the show has put them on the map, progressed then, etc. Sunderland Til I Die is only a thing because the producers just happen to be Sunderland fans. 2017 is when they started shooting, freshly relegated from the PL, 6-7 years later they're still worse off than when they set out to film the programme. Sunderland fans seem to be making it out as though this has done the same thing for them. Paul Mullin for instance has more followers than Jack Clarke. The great irony of comparing Sunderland and Wrexham is that Rob McElhenney was inspired to buy a football club after watching Sunderland Til I Die. He and Ryan Reynolds could have easily bought Sunderland at that point but instead decided that a Welsh non league club was a better option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 (edited) I'm sure I've read somewhere that it was Hartlepool they nearly went for before Wrexham were recommended. There's a video of Rob playing the Sunderland Til I Die theme song on the guitar. Very funny. Edited February 23 by Optimistic Nut Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn’t know who they were turning down though, the offer that came in wasn’t advertised as from Ryan Reynolds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gets a lot more difficult soon when they have to go to all the current Top 6 away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Ahmed Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 They can't really afford to slip up today Anything less than a win would be an awful result because their next 3 games are Norwich (a) Leicester (H) Southampton (a) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
