  Mike Jolly and his wife May are flying in from Kuala Lumpur for Southend's crucial tie at Rochdale.

A dedicated football fan traveled over 6,500 miles to watch his team, Wrexham AFC, play in the United States during their pre-season tour, showcasing the lengths to which fans will go to support their teams. The fan, a member of the Wrexham Supporters' Trust, journeyed from Wales to face the challenges of long flights and time zone differences, all to see Wrexham compete against teams like Chelsea and Manchester United. This trip not only highlights the global appeal of football but also the strong community and loyalty among Wrexham's fanbase, especially following the club's increased visibility due to the Disney+ documentary series "Welcome to Wrexham," which features the team's owners, actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.
