"WHY not dream big?"

That was the message from Wrexham AFC's new owners Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds as they held their first press conference at The Racecourse.

They say they are here for years, this is the first of many trips to Wrexham. And when the documentary cameras have left and the new cycle has turned, they will still be working hard for Wrexham.

South Wales Argus:

Both Wrexham the football club and Wrexham the community, which they say are interconnected.

Rob described the historic stadium as feeling like a cathedral where he could feel the spirit of the people of Wrexham.

He said the club was here before any of us were alive and will be here long after.

They see themselves as custodians that will leave the club better than they found it.

And, in terms of football, there are no limits.

South Wales Argus:

Ryan said the focus would always be to "win, win, win" but they were realistic in their expectations.

South Wales Argus:

Rob, however, said he believed he could achieve something special with Wrexham.

The term "global force" was used again.

"I don't understand why we can't get to the premier league", says Rob.

"We have the structure here. Why not dream big?"

Why Wrexham? Is a question Rob and Ryan have been asked many times.

But, there enthusiasm for the club and community, really shone through.

"This is not a toy", said Rob.

"We wanted a club with history. Nowhere else came close."

It also seems that Ryan has become invested in the reality of British football.

Talking about the game against Maidenhead, he said: "I loved every minute of it but it certainly had its moments of agony,

"I loved watching the club out there. For a moment there it was pretty damn exciting."

South Wales Argus:

Both spoke about the warm welcome they had been given in Wrexham.

Rob said: "It's incredible. We've only been here for two days and we already feel like we've been welcolmed home."

South Wales Argus:

Ryan added: "They will be bored of us soon I hope. But it's been pretty amazing."

Ryan added that meeting supporters in The Turf for a "no holds barred" chat was an unexpected pleasure.

Although both agreed they had perhaps drank too much.
