Ever since Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney took over Wrexham, they completely changed the landscape of the city. They worked and strategised day and night for the club which is why the Red Dragons are a household name in the USA today.
In a similar act of solidarity for the city, the duo is now planning to take one of their favorites and Wrexham’s local band ‘Declan Swans’ to a global stage. Interestingly, their efforts in pushing the Swans come after the duo publicly stated their wish to see Taylor Swift perform at the Red Dragons’ stadium someday.
