"We’ve embraced all the extra demands on the players, whether it's cameras around them or other commercial activities. But we never lose the focus that the most important thing we can do is win on a Saturday afternoon at three o'clock. And all our energy goes into that, really." The game will be critical to Wrexham's preparation because it will come just before the team kicks off the English Football League regular season, Parkinson said.
The game — a 1-1 draw against the Philadelphia Union of MLS — was punctuated by a thunderstorm that elongated halftime, but overall provided a good measuring stick, Parkinson said. Whether Wrexham's celebrity owners will be in the stands at B.C. Place remains to be seen, said Humphrey Ker, the club's executive director.
Cameras will certainly be rolling when the Red Dragons visit Vancouver, but how fans will have to wait to see how the match figures into 'Welcome to Wrexham.'
