NORTH Wales fans might argue that there isn't a club in the world like Wrexham... Well, they'd be wrong!
Sharing a comic trailer for 'Welcome to Wroxham FC', the Non-League Division English club based in Norwich has teased fans that they're easily confused with our beloved Reds in Wrexham.
Hey @Wrexham_AFC, can you let everyone know we’re NOT YOU? 😤

hometown) and that I must actually be from Norfolk. 🤦 🏴
The trailer, a play on the award-winning docu-series 'Welcome to Wrexham' showcases fans of the non-league club declaring they "haven't even heard of them."
Fans were quick to create their own puns, and said "How can you not love these lot? Legends youse guys are!"
A women from Norwich bought a bike off me on EBay, and asked if she could pop round to collect in the next half hour. I said sure and then she realised she used the wrong vowel in the name. Up the Wr?xham’s!

Another said: "What's 1 vowel and 250 miles between friends? Up the Wr_xhams!"
"It's Always Sunny in Wroxham", said one individual, a humorous play on Wrexham's co-chairman Rob McElhenney who co-wrote the hit-series 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.'
