WREXHAM take on Charlton Athletic in a huge League One game tomorrow - three years to the day Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney watched their club for the first time.
The Hollywood stars completed their takeover at The Racecourse in February 2021 but travel restrictions due to the coronavirus pandemic prevented the actors from watching the Reds after becoming co-chairmen.
But out of the blue, Reynolds and McElhenney were present for Wrexham's game against Maidenhead United at York Road on Tuesday October 26, 2021.

The duo's presence caused huge excitement among the crowd of just over 1,600 but the match did not follow the script that the actors may have hoped as 10-man Wrexham lost 3-2.
However, three years on and Wrexham are flying high in League One after completing back-to-back promotions, and more than 22,000 supporters will be present at The Valley tomorrow when Phil Parkinson's men take on Charlton.
