I know the majority of us aren’t fans of OAFC especially after their antics this season with the pitch invasion and their players giving it the big un…. But hats (or flat caps) off to their owner for completing his 3000 mile solo row across the Atlantic raising a fair few quid for Alzheimer’s…

Also give em credit for all proceeds from their home game v Kidderminster going to the charity and a minimum entrance fee of £1.

Yes, a great feat at any age let alone at 73 years young.

Apparently he's capsized about 4 times and had a torrid time with the bad weather on the crossing too, which makes it that bit more remarkable that he's still alive tbh,.. well done that man.

all we are saying, is give us ...a goal, or 2+

Well done but not sure about them playing Wrexham any time soon

https://www.telegrap...ep-finish-line/

Mr Rothwell paid his respects to Wrexham Football Club’s celebrity owners, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, who donated £1,600 to his cause. He said: “You have given what I have done credibility. And I wish Wrexham all the best. I hope Wrexham get promoted because we don’t want to play you again next year.”

What is that suppose to mean?
You`ve only just been allowed back from a ban, and you (revert to type) with antagonistic/inflammatory posts that seem to be devised with the sole intent of triggering people.
Don`t bother replying, as it would be your usual - evasive / change the subject type of comment anyway.

I`ve looked through the list of emoji`s, but can`t find the CLOWN one ...
