"I really enjoyed going down to the Guildhall and being in the meeting with all the councillors, because sometimes as a manager you're in a a bubble and you don't get a chance to reflect. But listening to people speak about the impact of the club on the area since Rob and Ryan have been here, and their memories over the last four years, was fantastic."
"I spoke to a lot of people outside my normal realm that I speak to day to day in the club and where I live. It just really hit home to me -- the impact on the club's success, on the the city itself, and the surrounding area."
"We've always stressed, and it comes from the top with the owners, that as much as Wrexham has got the global appeal the most important thing is the local businesses and the local people who support the club and have been through tough times."
Phil Parkinson received the Freedom of Wrexham and attended the Guildhall in a suit for the civic honour. The occasion provided a chance to step outside the managerial bubble and reflect on local memories and the club's impact since the arrival of co-owners Rob Mac and Ryan Reynolds. Rob Mac and Ryan Reynolds received the city's highest civic honour in April 2023. Club leadership prioritizes local businesses and long-standing supporters even as global appeal grows. On the field, Wrexham recorded away wins at Millwall and Norwich but remain without a league win at the SToK Cae Ras, losing to West Brom and QPR and drawing with Sheffield Wednesday.
