Its so cool to see an actor get so embedded into football to the point of buying and supporting the club passionately. He seems like a genuinely nice guy.

Legit credit to him for repeatedly pointing out that that Notts county has also had an amazing run, and should in no way be seen as the "bad guy" here. Both teams have been killing it, and both deserve huge props for the astounding seasons they've delivered.

[@lvthud]

100%, he also is echoing what I have been reading on the forums, the one automatic up/down really is a travesty, Notts County is 34 points ahead of the 3rd place club and may not go up, of course the same could be said for Wrexham, either of them not going up would be a crying shame.

[@danlee1211]

I live in Los Angeles and was on holiday in the UK and decided to go to Wrexham so see them, talk to people about the team and what this means to them. It is hard for us in the States to understand. It is such a working class town and many have not had a chance to celebrate in this way. They are in shock to see Ryan, Rob or any celeb (something we commonly experience and have the chance to work with them in LA). Just a very cool story and Ryan and Rob are nice, approachable humans. Pulling for them!

[@markrushton1516]

Is it not like the Steelers back in the day. L.A. Lakers had jack Nicholson and the Raiders and Cowboys their glamour. Pittsburgh was steeltown.

[@gart9680]

​​@@markrushton1516Difference is, Wrexham & teams in the English Leagues aren't franchises. They were formed in the Victorian era (from scratch) by and for the local working class people & these clubs (like Wrexham are doing now) had to build & work their way up the leagues (& down & occasionally go out of business). E.G. even Manchester United was formed for local railway workers. The whole culture of soccer/football in England (& elsewhere) is inherently ingrained in local working class society. I guess that's why so much rivalry & especially organised violence (back in the day) surrounded these institutions. It's just different. Teams don't leave the area they are from. I think that was tried once with a club called Wimbledon. They moved to a place called Milton Keynes. And that resulted in the local people of Wimbledon reforming their club (from scratch). Then taking the owners of (now) Milton Keynes to court at which point they won their case & any heritage Milton Keynes claimed to the old Wimbledon club had to be relinquished. That's a very rough synopsis of the situation but it is a fascinating story.

Yeah, exactly - the headline is 'Deadpool buys club' - sure the majority of the money investment is from Ryan but Rob is invested so much more of his time and passion (from what I've seen). The club should be incredibly thankful to both, as should the City of Wrexham itself. Far from the greatest place I've ever visited but I was only there because of the documentary and I wonder how much more revenue tourism is bringing into Wrexham and North Wales as a whole. It's a truly special thing what they've done.

Very true. Classy as hell and, honestly, I sometimes struggle to remember the names of people I've known for years at work (I don't interact with them often but still). Not surprised though; he's done some videos/interviews with some KZbinrs like Jacksepticeye and KoreanEnglishman/Jolly, and while I know those are big channels -- especially Jack -- he's not only come across as super humble, but one of them (and I really wish I could remember which) was floored by the fact that despite being years between videos, when they saw him a second time he remembered them by name and said hello, etc.

These two guys so obviously have a genuine care for the club, for the fans and for the sport, and I love to see it.

As much as I would like to see a founding member of the Football League back where they belong (as well as Wrexham), the fact remains they finished 23rd in League 2 in 18/19 season... 3 points adrift, so they do "deserve" to be where they are. However, the National League is basically League 3 now, just look at some of the big clubs in it, Oldham, Southend, Scunthorpe, Yeovil, Barnet... most, if not all the clubs are full-time professional. The promotion places should definitely reflect that. It's possibly the toughest league in the country. Wrexham have been down there for 15 years. It took my club (FGR) twenty years to get promoted.

Whilst many of us are focused on the battle between Arsenal and Manchester City to be top dogs of the English game, this fascinating story is bubbling along nicely in the background. The most interesting part for me is that Reynolds has the money and influence to ensure Wrexham are financially ahead of the curve every season they go up a division. Obtaining sponsorship from a social media giant like TikTok is absolutely unheard of for a club of Wrexham's size, and gives fair warning to everybody ahead of them that this guy and his people mean serious business.
