Deadpool Superstar Ryan Reynolds Inspires Fans, Who Travel More Than 3700 Miles, to Watch His $2.5 Million Team

Wrexham AFC, co-owned by Ryan Reynolds, recently completed two years under the new ownership. Reynolds and Rob McElhenney took over the club on February 9, 2021, by investing $2.5 million. 98.6% of Wrexham Supporters Trust supported their bid, and they successfully bought the historic club. Since then, the Deadpool superstar and McElhenney have made serious efforts to promote the club in North America. 

Out of their love for Reynolds and Wrexham, fans formed a supporters group in Canada named the Wrexham Canada family last year. They have so far visited to see two games of the club and were on their third visit on February 11 for a game against Wealdstone.

Recently, the Canadian fans, on their return to Canada, thanked the Wrexham community for the warm welcome.

The pub named, The Turf in the vicinity of the Racecourse Stadium made special arrangements for the traveling Canadian supporters. 

Wrexham Canada posted, “It is safe to say, it was a crazy day in Wrexham yesterday. We loved seeing familiar faces from our previous trips but also meeting so many new people as well! Thanks, everyone, for the warm welcome. All the best for the next few weeks, and fingers crossed we can come back,” on their return to Canada.

Wrexham took on Woking in the National League game on February 14 and were held to a 2-2 draw. They were unable to gain all three points to go three points clear of second-placed Notts County.
