Wrexham was a distressed asset, having languished in the National League since 2008, alongside teams like Scunthorpe and Dorking Wanderers
Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, as depicted in the documentary series Welcome to Wrexham, sign autographs, visit the local church and, in one of the best parts of the show, meet volunteers and fans at The Turf, the pub that is attached to Wrexham AFC’s stadium. As one might imagine if the owners of just about any sports team were to meet a handful of supporters over pints, the pair get an earful.Start your day with a roundup of B.C.
The two actors, a Canadian and an American, then do something that could be a lesson to sports executives everywhere, from impatient billionaires to experienced hands who have been in the business for decades. It could also be a lesson for Ottawa Senators fans, if Reynolds is successful in his desire to be part of the ownership group that takes over that hockey franchise. They do nothing. They give it time.
This season has been better. With a win on Tuesday, Wrexham climbed to the top of the National League, the fifth tier in English football, with a 20-5-2 record. That top spot is crucial because it’s the only one that gets automatic promotion to the fourth tier. And while promotion from any of the tiers is significant, the jump from fifth to fourth in England essentially turns a team from semi-pro to professional.
