Millie Tipping is one of the biggest Wrexham fan as she started supporting them since she was 7 years of age.
Life of Wrexham She had a lot of Wrexham Signatures and art drawing since its favorite team and have been an interest since she was 7. She also had a scarf which it was signed by the owner Rob McElhenney. She describe her Autism which has a different sense of wiring.
She started playing disability football when she was 5 which she was used to it at the time until she started playing the girls football team with the other typical mainstream girls team when it was established. She had the best time of her life when she went with the traveling team. Until she was no longer on the girls team because of age restriction to joined the professional which she got really upset. However she was able to fight these dark days and haven’t give up Wrexham. Until one day she was able to bring a light at the end of the tunnel until she met Kerry Evans who runs the Disability Liaison officer of Wrexham AFC. It changed Mille’s life forever which she was grateful to have the opportunity to meet the players the day before the match and the hour before kickoff while each player use the back room to put on their team jersey. Millie was able to coop her emotions even when Rob and Ryan Reynolds became chairman of Wrexham and made a lot of friends since then. Her mom was grateful that Kerry give her season tickets so she can go to every home match. She was also the team mascot at the Quiet zone by the corner of Mold Road. There is a designated quiet entrance, at gate 12 on the Mold Road. She was able to be the person her own because she gets to have her own seat includes the same routine and same stewards who are qualified for special needs pupil and provides them the best experience of going to the football match.
The Racecourse because seating was available anywhere and it was quieter. Tipping, who has autism and is unable to sit in large groups, preferred the previous ambiance. She was shocked to learn that McElhenney and Reynolds were purchasing Wrexham AFC, and she still finds it hard to believe occasionally! Although Wrexham AFC’s home has changed, Tipping now has her own seat in a designated area and is attended to by stewards during games thanks to the creation of the Club’s Quiet Zone.
When Millie heard that super scorer player Paul Mullin’s son Albi was diagnosed with Autism, she wanted to do something useful like drawing an art project for Paul and his son Albi. She wanted to show that Mullin is not alone and Albi is also not alone, so she wanted to think it should be shown as a superpower instead of saying disability. She also wanted to draw the heart for the boots that also has Albi’s name on it. She also got a goodie bag for Albi which includes Paw Patrol blanket, a fidget toy, a little star pop it, a stress ball and a drawing of Albi riding on his dad’s shoulder. Later, she and her mom went to the back of the stadium to wait for Paul Mullin to arrive. While waiting for the Scouse player, she took pictures with the players and some of the staffs that worked for the team. When Super Mullin arrived, Millie was excited to see him, which she gives him the art canvas and a bag for Albi. Paul also thanked her for the generous gifts and give her a big hug and took a photo with Paul to hold the sign that said Unite For Access. She also wants a Wrexham win of 5-0 which she predicted for the match against Solihull Moors. Paul also scored a hat trick which it was the best match that she would never forget.
She was also at all of the home matches included the away matches which she was also witnessed the most important match when Wrexham won match 3-1 against Boreham Wood and the team won the League back to the EFL Division for the first time in 15 years.
The important lesson was to never give up your dreams and keep up your passion going. Always believe in yourself and keep up with the progress you make.
