Get ready for an unmissable chat with two legends behind the bar, Wayne Jones, the heart and soul of The Turf Hotel in Wrexham (as seen in Welcome to Wrexham Series), and Dieter Steinsbusch, the creative force turning York Lane in Sydney into Australia’s unofficial Wrexham fan HQ.
With the Wrexham FC team touring Australia and New Zealand for the first time ever, we dive into the hype, the heart, and what’s happening off the pitch.
Expect insider stories, behind-the-scenes secrets, and big news:
Wayne’s gut feeling? One or both of the club’s owners, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney may very well join the tour… and pop into York Lane to thank the Aussie supporters. It’s great for the fans, and smart branding for the actors. (P.S. Ryan is close mates with Hugh Jackman... just saying!)
Hear about the official Turf pop-up bars coming to Melbourne, Sydney, and Wellington — huge marquees, epic matchday vibes, and a welcome for all fans.
Wayne even reveals when he’ll be at York Lane and shares fond memories of living in Australia when he was 21.
⚽️ Football is bringing people together from Wales to Australia, building community, saving bars, and sparking joy.
This episode will make you want to grab a scarf, head to York Lane, and be part of the Wrexham wave!
