Wrexham fans have been making the same point about Welcome to Wrexham after the latest season of the documentary gave limited attention to the women’s team despite their success on the pitch.
Supporters took to Reddit this week to discuss the latest episodes, with many expressing disappointment that Wrexham Women featured only briefly throughout the season.
The reaction was not universal, but a clear theme emerged. Many fans felt one of the club’s biggest success storylines was left largely untold.
Several supporters pointed to the women’s achievements and questioned why there was not more focus on a side that continues to grow.
Wrexham fans wanted more coverage of the women’s team
The discussion began when one supporter asked whether anyone else was disappointed by the lack of coverage given to Wrexham Women.
One fan wrote: “Absolutely disappointed. Especially considering the season they had! The women’s team could likely have their own 3-4 episode mini series.”
Another supporter felt the documentary missed a major opportunity.
“I shall be very disappointed if the majority of the final episode isn’t given over to the women’s victories. I think the women have had a great story to tell and it’s really disappointing that they haven’t, for whatever reason, told it.”
Others noted that documentary crews were regularly present at women’s matches.
One fan who attended Cardiff versus Wrexham said: “The footage exists, and so does a great story, and it’s a real shame that they haven’t done more about the women’s team.”
Supporters believe Wrexham Women had one of the club’s best stories
There was also optimism among supporters that the documentary may yet spend more time covering the women’s side in future seasons.
One popular comment suggested: “They qualified for the Champions League. I don’t think they are worried about time in the doc. I can guarantee you they get a featured episode about the Champions League in the next season.”
Another fan argued that the women’s team is central to the wider story the documentary is trying to tell.
“The main story is about how a town’s fortunes are tied to how well their local club does, and R&R’s goal of shining a light on Wrexham to uplift the town. The women’s team is absolutely a part of this main story.”
That sentiment was echoed elsewhere in the discussion.
One supporter responded: “The show is about Wrexham and the women are definitely part of that.”
While some fans admitted they have only a passing interest in women’s football, the dominant reaction centred on a feeling that the latest season could have done more to showcase one of the club’s biggest recent successes.
Judging by the discussion, many Wrexham supporters came away from the latest episodes saying the same thing. They wanted to see more of the women’s team and believe their story deserves a bigger place in Welcome to Wrexham going forward.
