ANDY: Another week, another seven absolute nuts days in the life and times of Wrexham Association Football Club.

The chairman shows up on Friday night at the Fat Boar and buys everyone a beer. He comes with Magic Mike in tow. The next day one of the world’s biggest rock/punk stars shows up randomly in The Turf. And no one bats an eye lid.

And never mind all of the above… Homes Under The Hammer legend Dion Dublin was also there.

Read about this and much more in this week’s star-studded Wrexham is the Game. There’s also the small matter of the match against Cambridge, but we won’t dwell on that too much.

Love you to subscribe. Ryan said he’d come to your house if you do. And Billy-Joe will serenade each and every one of you.

When I come around (…to Wrexham vs Cambridge)

TIM: What an odd 24 hours. It started with a few social drinks in dirty Shrewsbury. Those extended to Ruabon and Summerhill as the night remained young.

I then got a shout to say Ryan was back in town. A quick taxi ride to the Fat Boar (well, King Street because the jobsworth cabbie was infuriated I paid my £6.50 fare online instead of giving him £7 cash) and you could sense we were in the presence of greatness.
