How Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney inspired Wrexham’s consecutive promotions
Wrexham continue to make progress toward their Premier League goals, having achieved back-to-back promotions with their 6-0 success against Forest Green Rovers this past week.
Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are the masterminds behind Wrexham’s incredible feat of winning two consecutive promotions.
The Red Dragons will compete in League One next season after defeating Forest Green Rovers 6-0 on Saturday (April 13), securing the club’s second successive promotion.
It’s been three years since the Hollywood duo arrived at then-non-league Wrexham and have subsequently changed the club, putting them on track to accomplish their Premier League ambitions.
The possibility of adding the League Two crown to their National League victory remains, but the ball is now in the hands of leaders Stockport County. However, this did not dampen the mood at the Racecourse Ground.
It’s been a hectic ride for everyone involved with the club, with Daily Star Sport delving into how the Hollywood stars have inspired the club’s successive promotion victories.
The League Two team has benefited from the financial strength of its Hollywood owners, allowing it to gain large sponsors in the likes of Ally Financial, a multibillion-dollar bank holding firm.
They also secured a sponsor for their Fourth Wall Temporary Kop stand: Four Walls whiskey, an Irish-American alcohol brand founded by co-owner Rob McElhenney and his Always Sunny co-stars Charlie Day and Glenn Howerton.

Despite their modest position in the English football pyramid, Wrexham have been able to spend more than their rivals, securing players such as James McClean, Arthur Okwonko, and even Jack Marriott.
It’s no surprise that they’ve been able to accomplish back-to-back promotions by convincing players to play down a division despite their evident talent.
Regular racecourse attendance
Unlike other owners, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney openly express their love and support for Wrexham and the community, to which they routinely attend.
The couple are undoubtedly lucky charms for the team, as Phil Parkinson’s side has won every game they’ve attended.
