Wrexham FC

I was delighted for the National League team when they won promotion to League Two a few weeks ago and now the players are off on an allexpenses-paid trip to Las Vegas courtesy of cochairman Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.

The whole story couldn’t be more Hollywood and I can already see the movie script being written about the small

Welsh club that gets taken over by two soccer-loving North American actors who motivate and steer the underdogs to victory.

I have to admit

I was cynical about the A-listers taking over a community club like Wrexham but their involvement has really put lower-league football on the map.

Who knows what will happen next season but,

OK, I haven’t draped myself in a Union flag and sworn allegiance to the King but I certainly don’t want to ruin it for anyone else.

If folk want to celebrate a man worth £1.8billion with a party that cost £100million as we live in a country with food banks overwhelmed and where warm banks actually exist, then let them eat cake and enjoy the concert. Oh and don’t forget we’ll pick up part of the tab.

Personally, I’ve ignored the whole thing, th opting for dinner with a friend in Glasgow where just last week chants ch of ‘stick your coronation up yir a***’ a* could be heard ringing out of a south so side stadium.

I stand by my assertion that t the th Queen’s death will spell the th end for the monarchy sooner so rather than later but the th media’s overkill would have ha you thinking every UK household are staunch royalists ro who have spent the weekend we lining the street singing sin “Long Live King Charles!”. es!”.

Channel 4 seems to be the only broadcaster br to offer any alternative with wi Frankie Boyle, who delivered some so home truths in a one-off special called ca Farewell To The Monarchy, and with the amount of investment available from Ryan and Rob, anything is possible.

The pair promised the team a “monster” party if they won the league and kept their word as the excited players shared photos on social media as they headed out to Sin City on Thursday. The trip has been designed for the squad to relax and unwind but you know what they say – what happens in Vegas… we’ll be treated to part two of Andrew: The Problem Prince tomorrow night.

I think Frankie is right and this whole circus will unwittingly act as a send-off for an outdated institution. I reckon the royals know their days are numnumbered, particularly the yoyounger members. I watchedw the penny drodrop for William and KaKate on their disastrous toutour of the Caribbean last year where calls for slavslavery reparations followfollowed them around, as well as aan awkward sit-down with Jamaica’sJamaica PM, who told them the country was moving on from their pointless relationship.

Older members such as Princess Anne may cling on as she demonstrated in a recent interview where she said a slimmed-down monarchy “is not a good idea”. Well, I wouldn’t expect turkeys to vote for Christmas.

She came across as stuck in her ways and unable to accept there are conversations to be had about her family moving forward. Whatever their future, there will be millions up and down the country enjoying this weekend’s festivities and that’s fine.

I just wish more of a voice was given to those who aren’t and, as the police have threatened to “deal robustly with anyone intent on undermining this celebration”, perhaps people are nervous to express dissent.

Over these past few weeks, as I’ve watched coronation-themed fashion items on breakfast TV and cooking programmes dedicated to the King, I’ve witnessed presenters who

I know are republicans discuss the coronation through gritted teeth.

And I’ve been shocked at how most are happy to go along with it without so much as questioning the money spent or the relevance of monarchy.

My mum will have been glued to her telly enjoying the pomp and pageantry with many others and that doesn’t make her a bad person.

But I can’t help but think we’ll look back on this and wonder how people could line the streets to applaud gold-encrusted carriages and sit by their TVs to witness the anointing of an unelected head of state who represents all the structural inequalities that exist in the UK today.
