ROB McElhenney said the support Wrexham received during their tour of the US gave him "goosebumps".
The Reds' star co-owner took to Twitter at the conclusion of the club's pre-season tour of the States.
After Wrexham's game in his home city of Philadelphia, Rob tweeted: "The chants of “Wrexham, Wrexham, Wrexham” ringing out deep into the Philly night, after 2 hours of weather delay continues to give me goosebumps."
Wrexham AFC's executive director Humphrey Ker says America’s reaction to the team this summer has exceeded their wildest expectations.
The Reds have become one of the most talked-about teams in the world since Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney took charge in 2021.
