Wrexham is the Game 6: And pigs may fly
Mic drops, Rob takes on red tape while Gene Simmons joins the doc – and he's mad
ANDY: Imagine being Shaun Harvey. You're sitting down to a nice Sunday lunch. Songs of Praise is on the telly and all is well.
You know Rob McElhenney is in town, but hell, he's at the baseball down in London - he can cause no trouble there...
Or can he. You see the newsflash. So we're definitely signing Arthur Okonkwo are we?
Nothing is insurmountable in Rob's world – and that’s refreshing. Not got the Premier League class keeper on £19k a week at Arsenal to sign for a League One club yet? = No problem, Rob will sort it out. And he'll tell Talksport all about it.
Talking about Rob doing it all, this week's special guest columnist Liam Randall looks at his ongoing battle with the council/red tape.
Super scoring goalkeeper Mark Howard? He ain't the first sweeper keeper as we delve into the tale of the 'Flying Pig'. There's all your old favourites from fan of the week to reviewing the latest Welcome to Wrexham episode.
You know what I'm going to say. A lot of you are reading the free version which stops, abruptly, before we get to the good stuff.
For the full hit you need to pay £15 a year (or 28p an issue) and for that, this week Tim and 90s winger Neil Wainwright create a truly renewable energy source and I track down the Holy Grail with a little help from forgotten Flynnidadian Josh Johnson.
What more could you want? What you mean you want Arthur Okonkwo signing on a permanent deal?
Well, over to you Rob...

Burning question: Rob vs red tape (who will win…)
LIAM (SPECIAL GUEST COLUMNIST!): Rob McElhenney REALLY hates red tape. I’m not sure if he’s mentioned it enough times on the latest season of Welcome to Wrexham.
If it wasn’t for all that damn British bureaucracy, the Racecourse Ground would have four completely new stands by now, with a capacity of 55,000 and plush seats with beverage holders.
That’s the impression you’d come away with if you took everything the Wrexham co-chairman says on the documentary at face value.
However, the reality is that the ball has been in the club’s court for some months now regarding when the new Kop Stand is built.
