Perhaps one of the toughest points in its history came during the mid two thousand's when the team was in deep financial trouble.

也許其歷史上最艱難的時刻之一是在2000年中期，當時該團隊陷入了嚴重的財務困境。

In december 2004, Wrexham was placed in financial administration, which is similar to bankruptcy.

2004年12月，雷克瑟姆被置於財務管理之下，這類似於破產。

Some people managed to get their hands on the football club because they wanted the ground to turn it into a supermarket or some other sort of property venture because of this, they were the first League One team to be docked 10 points in the standings due to a rule that penalized teams ending up in that position.

一些人設法得到了足球俱樂部，因為他們想把場地變成超市或其他一些財產風險，因為這個原因，他們是第一支在積分榜上被扣10分的甲級聯賽球隊，因為有一條規則，對結束在這個位置的球隊進行處罰。

It took Wrexham 18 months to exit, but not before they had become the first club to be hit with a 10 point automatic penalty, a sanction that saw them relegated from League One, They were eventually removed from administration when a new owner took over.

雷克瑟姆花了18個月才退出，但在此之前，他們已經成為第一個被自動罰10分的俱樂部，這一制裁使他們從第一聯賽降級。

But the club remained on shaky financial ground.

但俱樂部的財政狀況仍然不穩定。

Number eight.

The english football league system in north american professional sports.

If a team finishes the season at the bottom of the standings, it Jenna, it means a better chance at higher draft picks and retooling for the next season in english football doesn't quite work the same way.

如果一支球隊在賽季結束時排名墊底，它珍娜，這意味著有更好的機會獲得更高的選秀權，為下個賽季重新調整英國足球的工作方式不太一樣。

你現在處理的是一項有升級降級的運動，這對你來說很奇怪。

Championship League one, League two and so on.

冠軍聯賽一，聯賽二，等等。

Wrexham is currently in the fifth tier, known as the National League.

雷克瑟姆目前處於第五級聯賽，被稱為國家聯賽。

A key difference in this system is teams that place in the bottom can be relegated to lower tiered leagues and subsequently high placing teams can be promoted to higher tiers.

這個系統的一個關鍵區別是，排名墊底的球隊可以降級到較低級別的聯賽，隨後排名高的球隊可以晉升到更高的級別。

No one has gone from our league all the way up to the Premier League, but we've gone from the National League, some clubs have gone the national championship, so we're obviously going to try and number seven racecourse ground.

沒有人從我們的聯賽一路走到英超，但我們已經從國家聯賽走到了全國聯賽，一些俱樂部已經走到了全國錦標賽，所以我們顯然要嘗試七號賽馬場地。

Every team has a pitch they call home.

每支球隊都有一個他們稱之為家的球場。

Manchester United has Old Trafford Liverpool has Anfield, and Wrexham has the racecourse ground.

它是世界上最古老的國際足球場，在它的歷史上，球迷們見證了壯觀的時刻，也許沒有什麼比他們在91年92年的比賽中以2比1的比分從背後擊敗阿森納更令人興奮。

雷克瑟姆鎮是威爾士北部的一個藍領小鎮，靠近英國和威爾士邊境，距離利物浦約40分鐘車程。

I think Wrexham is an earthy place that's well grounded.

我認為雷克瑟姆是一個接地氣的地方，有很好的基礎。

We are very much a working class town, very, very proud town.

我們在很大程度上是一個工人階級的城鎮，非常、非常自豪的城鎮。

Its founding dates back to the middle ages, but more recently in the 20th century, it was a place for lead and coal mining as well as iron, steel and leather production.

它的建立可以追溯到中世紀，但最近在20世紀，它是鉛和煤的開採以及鐵、鋼和皮革生產的地方。

When those industries closed down, it had a great impact on the town and surrounding area.

當這些行業關閉時，對該鎮和周邊地區產生了巨大影響。

A lot of shops have closed.

很多商店都關閉了。

There's a lot of empty premises, a lot of charity shops and the high street doesn't look anywhere near as vibrant as it used to.

有很多空房子，有很多慈善商店，高街看起來不像以前那樣有活力了。

The Red Dragons have been a rallying point for the town and its been reinvigorated since.

Number five.

五號。

Community support, a football team is nothing without a community standing behind it and Wrexham is no different.

社區支持，如果沒有社區的支持，一支足球隊就什麼都不是，雷克瑟姆也不例外。

My family watch Wrexham, my family before that, I've watched Wrexham and that's how it's always been.

我的家人都在看雷克瑟姆，之前我的家人也在看雷克瑟姆，一直都是這樣。

The Red Dragons are in a bit of a unique situation.

紅龍隊的情況有點特殊。

There are only four welsh teams that play professionally in the english football league system.

在英國的足球聯賽體系中，只有四支威爾士球隊從事職業比賽。

Three of them are located in the south of Wales, leaving Wrexham as the only team in the north.

其中三支球隊位於威爾士南部，只剩下雷克瑟姆是北部的唯一一支球隊。

This gives the club a large and devoted fan base were the club that represents half a nation.

這給了俱樂部一個龐大而忠實的球迷群體，是代表半個國家的俱樂部。

There are 750,000 people in north Wales and they want something that makes them feel proud of where they're from.

威爾士北部有75萬人，他們希望有一些東西能讓他們為自己的家鄉感到驕傲。

That strong devotion quite likely saved the team in 2011 when it came under control of the Wrexham supporters trust, meaning the club was owned by its supporters a decade ago when the club had been mismanaged to the brink of collapse.

這種強烈的奉獻精神很可能在2011年拯救了球隊，當時球隊由雷克瑟姆支持者信託基金控制，這意味著俱樂部在十年前由其支持者擁有，當時俱樂部已經被管理不善到了崩潰的邊緣。

It was the fans who stepped up pooling their money and buying the club.

是球迷們挺身而出，湊錢買下了這個俱樂部。

Number four, the pitch, even though the team was Owned by its supporters, there were still problems to be found, it was very special that the fans owned the club.

第四，球場，儘管球隊是由其支持者擁有的，但仍有問題可尋，球迷擁有俱樂部是非常特別的。

But there was only so much that could be done.

但能做的只有這麼多。

I feel under fan ownership.

我覺得在粉絲的主導下。

Wrexham had been struggling on the field, given that they've been relegated to the National League since 2008 and have not been able to manage their way back to the Football League when a takeover bid had come in for the team, the supporters trust was skeptical.

雷克瑟姆一直在球場上掙扎，鑑於他們自2008年以來一直被降級到國家聯賽，並且一直未能管理好自己的方式回到足球聯賽，當有人對球隊進行收購時，支持者的信任是懷疑的。

The first I heard was that it was very, very famous people who were coming in for the club and it was, wow!

我第一次聽說是非常非常有名的人要來參加俱樂部的活動，那是，哇！！！！。

You know that at that point I didn't know names after it was revealed that the bid was backed by Reynolds and McElhenney.

你知道，當時我不知道名字，在透露出競標是由雷諾茲和麥克倫尼支持後。

Interest in the proposal grew in a zoom call to 2000 Trust members.

在對2000名信託基金成員的放大電話中，人們對該提案的興趣越來越大。

The duo made their pitch and when it was all said and done, 98% of the supporters trust approved the deal and they wiped the crowd for a couple of hours answering questions and really shining through the authenticity of what they were trying to achieve.

兩人做了他們的宣傳，當一切都說過了，98%的支持者信任準許了這筆交易，他們在人群中擦拭了幾個小時，回答了問題，真正照亮了他們試圖實現的真實性。

Number three, renewed hope following the announcement that Reynolds and McElhenney would acquire Wrexham, there was a flurry of excitement for the team and the town demand for jerseys skyrocketed more were sold in a week than half as many had in the previous year.

第三，在宣佈雷諾茲和麥克倫尼將收購雷克瑟姆之後，人們對球隊充滿了期待，鎮上對球衣的需求猛增，一週內售出的球衣比前一年的一半還多。

Many complete with custom.

Reynolds and Michael a knee on the back.

雷諾茲和邁克爾一膝蓋在背上。

Team sponsor, Eve or Williams trailers received a huge boost when Reynolds and McElhenney did a promo for them try for Williams trailers, Williams trailers has been Britain's leading trailer manufacturer for over 60 years.

當雷諾茲和麥克倫尼為他們嘗試為威廉姆斯拖車做宣傳時，車隊贊助商伊芙或威廉姆斯拖車得到了巨大的推動，威廉姆斯拖車在過去60多年裡一直是英國領先的拖車製造商。

They've been able to attract new sponsors as well, such as Tiktok Expedia and Aviation Gin.

他們也已經能夠吸引新的贊助商，如Tiktok Expedia和Aviation Gin。

It's the kind of thing that many in Wrexham would have never imagined already, the small town club has scored a new major sponsor, the social media giant Tiktok number two, The Journey Don't let the glitz and glamour of big Hollywood names fool you!

這是很多雷克瑟姆人已經想不到的事情，這個小鎮的俱樂部已經獲得了一個新的主要贊助商，社交媒體巨頭Tiktok第二號，《旅程》不要讓好萊塢大牌的浮華和魅力迷惑了你!

There are no quick fixes and Reynolds and McElhenney do not have the first idea of what it takes to run a professional football club, anything we're sort of students of it all.

沒有快速解決的辦法，雷諾茲和麥克倫尼對經營一家職業足球俱樂部所需要的東西沒有什麼概念，任何東西我們都是學生。

And we were in the incredibly fortunate position we're in to help grow it and that's, you know, that's the name of the game.

我們處於非常幸運的位置，可以幫助它成長，這就是，你知道，這就是遊戲的名稱。

They're the first ones to say it.

他們是第一個說這話的人。

In fact, it's that humble approach that led many in the supporters trust to give their overwhelming support to the pair.

事實上，正是這種謙遜的態度導致支持者信託中的許多人對這對夫婦給予了壓倒性的支持。

We were big sports fans, we know to run businesses.

我們是忠實的體育迷，我們知道要經營企業。

What we don't know is football and that gives, gives you a lot of confidence when you're talking to people who are humble enough to say, I don't know though they're both known for their comedic prowess, their earnestly committed to growing the team and the community behind it, even though things have improved since their takeover success won't happen overnight and Reynolds and McElhenney are prepared to go the distance, but it was the journey that they were really interested in, where the fun will be in seeing how far we can go.

我們不知道的是足球，這給了，給了你很大的信心，當你和那些謙虛地說，我不知道雖然他們都是以喜劇能力著稱，但他們認真地致力於發展球隊和背後的社區，即使自他們接管以來事情有所改善，成功不會在一夜之間發生，雷諾茲和麥克倫尼準備走遠，但這是他們真正感興趣的旅程，其中的樂趣將是看我們能走多遠。

Number one, a true underdog.

第一，一個真正的弱者。

Why Wrexham?

為什麼是韋克斯姆？

Why not a bigger team when looking for a team to purchase Reynolds and McElhenney had a specific set of criteria they were looking for part of that included a team with a strong connection to its surrounding community.

為什麼不是一個更大的團隊呢？在尋找購買的團隊時，雷諾茲和麥克倫尼有一套特定的標準，他們正在尋找的部分標準包括與周圍社區有密切聯繫的團隊。

You know, everything we do is in lockstep with the community of Wrexham and that's a huge part of the attraction for us.

你知道，我們所做的一切都與雷克瑟姆的社區保持一致，這是吸引我們的一個重要原因。

It also had to be somewhere with a compelling story and one of the most compelling stories is that of an underdog fans swear there's something special about this club and they want the whole world to find out.

它還必須是一個有令人信服的故事的地方，而最令人信服的故事之一是一個劣勢球迷發誓這個俱樂部有一些特別之處，他們希望整個世界都能發現。

Reynolds described Wrexham as a sleeping giant and a team with huge potential.

雷諾茲將雷克瑟姆描述為一個沉睡的巨人和一支具有巨大潛力的球隊。

Whether you're a fan of football or not, an underdog story is one you can get behind and you can see it unfold in FX's Welcome to Wrexham, It's successful.
