WREXHAM AFC co-owner Rob McElhenney has revealed more about his love for the people of the area as the latest trailer for an upcoming documentary is revealed.
The tale of how Rob and fellow Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds took over at the Reds is set to be told when 'Welcome to Wrexham' comes out next week.
There has been a renewed sense of hope and a real buzz both on and off the pitch in Wrexham since the duo were first unveiled as the club's new owners in early 2021.
And that excitement is only growing ever-more with the hotly-anticipated documentary set to premiere on FX and Disney + on August 25.

In it, Rob says: "I feel like I know those people, I grew up with those people and I feel like what they were looking for was just a little shot in the arm."
Many local residents and die-hard Wrexham fans are also set to feature in the documentary.
One of those is Wayne Jones - landlord of the Turf pub, which lies in the shadow of the Racecourse ground and has become synonymous with the football club down the years.
He can be seen in the latest trailer saying: "Football is a lot more than a game to the people of this town. It's not life and death, it's more important than that."
Welcome to Wrexham promises to be an eye-opener and with Rob and Ryan involved you can guarantee some laughs along the way too!
