If you've ever tuned in to 'Welcome to Wrexham' you'll know the story of what happens when Hollywood comes to a working-class Welsh town. The meteoric rise of both the football club and it's now worldwide audience is some story. We're going to have a great, insightful day at the Racecourse Ground and as well as the usual high-quality guest speakers and lots of opportunities to network, our keynote will be a senior figure from Wrexham AFC. FTF16 is sponsored once again by Premier Relocation. We'd like to thank Andy Wells for all his help and support over the years. You guys are brilliant at what you do. This FTF is a first of it's kind as we are hosting this event in a partnership with the Cymru Premier. The FAW have made great strides to shape and promote the league and we'd like to thank Joe Donkor for his help. We are hoping to get representatives from all the Cymru Premier clubs in attendance. Whilst I can't promise superstar actors, as always there will be loads of good football-people, some great conversations and some deals done (or at least started) at FTF16. We hope you can join us."
