TURF landlord Wayne Jones discussed his relationship with Wrexham's Hollywood owners in front of the BBC cameras last night.
Wayne was interviewed at halftime during yesterday's 3-3 thriller at the Racecourse.
Wrexham looked to have done enough in front of a sell-out crowd, but a 95th-minute equaliser forced a replay which will be played at Bramall Lane next Tuesday.
During the interview with the Match of the Day crew, Wayne was quizzed on match days at the Turf, promotion hopes, and the impact of Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds.

He hailed the Hollywood pair, one of which was in attendance at the match.
Wayne said: "It’s night and day from where we were two or three years ago, it’s always been a spectacular club, a well-supported club, and a well-run club.
New bartender. 😉

"But the last 18 months to two years has been spectacular, what Rob and Ryan have done for the area and the town and the people, nobody could’ve imagined it.
"We’ve hit the jackpot and they’re such lovely guys and hopefully they’re here for the long term."
What a great afternoon at the Turf.

Family, friends, and the Chairman and his lovely family.
Very good point at BW topped off a great day. Heads a bit sore today after nailing the Penderyn! @RMcElhenney @BryanSwarberg @SwansDeclan @Shellwxmturf pic.twitter.com/fe9KtbCAeO
Wayne also went on to discuss his relationship with Rob and Ryan and touched on a night at the Racecourse, that may have been caught on Welcome to Wrexham.
He added: "I'm fortunate enough to speak to Rob and Ryan and they’ve been very nice to me and my family and lots of other people in the town they’ve supported.
"We’ve had a few Aviation gins, I think they both left the Turf one night a little bit worse for wear, but when they’re over and if they get five minutes they pop in and say hello, just genuinely lovely guys."
