PRESS CONFERENCE | Rob McElhenney & Ryan Reynolds in Full at Wrexham AFC

[@derekjones208]

Unbelievable to see and hear this. Being born and brought up in Wrexham and being used to dismissal and disinterest, I have to pinch myself when hearing what I'm hearing and seeing what I'm seeing. Thank you to both of them for believing in the club and the town. They are bringing some much needed fun and force to both.

[@disillusionedanglophile7680]

I wish Notts County would get some decent management. Wrexham is one of the oldest clubs in existence

[@derekjones208]

[@jespermeisel9799]

I now love Wrexham so much! I subscribed to just about everything there is about Wrexham and Wrexham AFC. I have always been a turncoat when it comes to football, but now I genuinely feel some actual connection to a team. Just wish they can stream their matches! Cant wait for that. Greetings to all from Sweden :)

These two can finish each other’s sentences…they’ve got a lot of overlap, humour, same age, happily married, young families…and men who have vision and the wherewithal to make it happen because they are about enabling and uplifting others. All power to Wrexham locals! 🇳🇿🇳🇿🐑🐑NZ

I'm not even a Wrexham fan (or even football for that matter) but I love this.The passion, the humility, the vision.

[@VanDiaries]

After watching the whole thing.. completely obsorbed. Such passionate individuals, it is clear to see why and how they have been accepted by everyone. I am inspired no end, and excited for the future of our club. First game I saw was vs Rotherham, we won 7-nil in 1995. My grandparents said I was a good omen! Got me hooked ever since. And here we are in dreamland

[@RustyVaperGameplay]

The players were never thinking "Who are these guys" IT'S FUCKING DEADPOOL AND MAC.

[@luchador041610]

Although I have been a huge fan of Manchester United for over 50 years, I look forward to supporting and following Rob, Ryan and Wrexham AFC as my second club. Please keep fighting for the rights to live stream Wrexham’s games in the USA.

[@antonyevans9772]

Not historically a Wrexham fan but always like to see Welsh teams succeed. Will be keeping an eye on Wrexham.

[@tipi5586]

Mate, with the problems at the heart of Cardiff and Swansea, a Welsh club with good ownership could literally become a biggest club in Wales XD

[@nicbongo]

My Welsh team for sure. Be great to see you bring a feeder club for Leeds in the short term. Enjoy the ride guys!

[@jefferyscholl]

Coming back to this after today, man did they deliver on all metrics. Congrats to the woman going up, congrats to the men going up, cannot wait for next year for both!

[@fmca96]

I LOVE how into it all they both are but I particularly admire the effort Rob is going to, learning some bits of Welsh and all. It's gorgeous to see.

[@trailofb33rs]

Seeing the ads, I thought it was just another show. I’m now fascinated by what they are trying to accomplish. Im also researching everything I can about Wrexham AFC and am now invested. I think it’s crazy they almost made promotion, but finishing in 2nd is still a huge leap.

[@ianbailey3924]

Money, publicity served with humor and humility. What's not to love? Good luck Wrexham fans. Win or lose you're on the map again.

[@Scottie444]

I'm a Celtic fan...but have a some North Wales heritage too, I will definitely be looking out for your results, Good luck Wrexham, Rob and Ryan. 🍀🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Rob, sorry to bore you if you already know. Philly has a massive connection with North Wales already. Caerwys my neck of the woods (15- 20 miles) from wxm was the founder's place that philadelphia was based on. The first structures were based on Caerwys market square. Look at the philley neighbourhoods all have North Wales names 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🙏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@MelanctonYates]

We actually have a town in the suburbs of Philly called North Wales. I live a few miles from there. There are a lot of Welsh named towns in the area (Uwchlyn, Bala Cynwyd, Bryn Mawr, Llanerch, Merion, Gwynedd, and Tredyffryn)

[@Hopelesslittlekilljoy]

Wow! I live in Philly and never made the Welsh connection before, no wonder Wrexham looks so familiar

[@SteveBlues87]

A shit ton of Welsh people migrated there, that's why it has such a connection, they were among the very first settlers in America. A lot of Welshmen fought for America during the American revolution. There's a lot of Welsh history in America. Abraham Lincoln was even of Welsh descent. People really don't know how deep the Welsh-American connection is.

[@JaVi-wf1gl]

loving this soooo much. I dont believe that would have worked with most Hollywood actors, but those 2 are jut so likable and you just know they are going to do the right thing for the team and the town. This will be so amazing for the community. Just bought the show on youtube;).

[@touchcircle22]

as a young Canadian kid I LOVED reading the back of my hockey cards. Just as Ryan says, it told me a story, I got to know a little more about my hockey hero's. It made me much more interested in the player. Having a Gretzky rookie card was like own a piece of Wayne himself. Yes indeed sports tells a story : }

[@usuallyblockedforspeakingt2803]

Wrexham are lucky to have two good guy's with such a high profile. This will draw more fans to the club worldwide. A good move IMO. From a liverpool fan.

[@JohnnyLREACTS]

Wrexham AFC officially my 2nd favourite club now!! Love from Canada

[@narlyskillzdosadar2743]

As an American who’s a fan of both actors and them as people it’s good to see both expanded not only their horizons but bringing communities together in the spirit as well. I’ll always be an E-A-G-L-E-S, Go Eagles! But I’d honestly be a Wrexham fan as well. I’m sure some of my Finnish friends would agree😁👍

Must say....I am now a WreXham fan! Gearing up! I would love to go watch a match in that historic stadium one day. Much success and blessings! Go WreXham!!!!

[@monica93304]

I'm of Uruguayan decent so needless to say I love football. I'm an Angelino that loves LAFC, and I've always loved the passion of football from it's birthplace. I'm a Liverpool fan but I really love the Wrexham story and history from what I can read. I'll be a fan from far away. You're lucky to have the new ownership group and wish you so much success.

[@carriew5106]

My football club is owned by foreign wealthy people so it would be very hypocritical to criticise abother club in the same position. That being said I wish my club was owned by people who genuinely seem to care about the fans, the town, the history. Rob and Ryan have got the football bug. And that is lovely to see.

[@MrEmperorApples]

if you had to have actors invest, you got two of the best! the future for the club is only looking brighter and brighter. I agree with Rob, having someone who is almost naively optimistic is important for any truly successful venture.

[@patrickscottwalsh]

I love the difference between how the welsh reporters ask questions compared to the english reporters. English reporters seem a bit chuffed by their optimism. Welsh people find it a breath of fresh air.

I have loved horseracing for 30 years, I am considered a very successful gambler, 4 years ago I was introduced to a wealth guy that wanted to get into racehorse ownership, we bought 3 horses, I would never have ben able to without his money, but watching a horse that you own win is just a different level to watch a horse you have backed win, I full get how emotionally involved these guys are with Wrexham

[@mht525]

Wrexham is now my 2nd club. This is what some major clubs (Manchester United specifically) dont have, owners who have integrity are willing to invest in the ground and respect the fans "the working class" They have a long term plan and are humble. Premier League for sure. Awesome 👌 ✌️🇦🇺

WHY IS THE OFFSIDE RULE SO CONFUSING TO PEOPLE? LOL

[@JohnA891]

Because the way it works is unlike any offside rule in NA sports (I can't actually think of any sport that has offside rules like your football). In the major sports that have offside rules in NA (Football and Hockey) your being offside is determined by your encroachment on a physical line (line of scrimmage in football and the blue line in hockey), not by the position of an opposing player.

[@princeofpcos9804]

What I find laughable, and yeah, a joke, is that in footy, being the last defender and running forward a few steps and raising your arm for an offside call is a legit play.
