Hours Before Ryan Reynolds’ 1st F1 Appearance at British GP, Wrexham Denied Crucial Game as They Prepare for US Tour

As the 2022/23 season ended, Wrexham received a promotion to the EFL League Two. After 15 years, the Welsh club is back to try their luck with the big leagues. Therefore, fans remain excited at the prospect of the club playing their games with high-quality opposition. As for Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, the charismatic duo took to the Formula One roots to invest in Alpine. Amidst all the hustle and bustle, Ryan is busy with a tight schedule for the next season. Considering the friendly matches set up, most soccer clubs want to play against the top teams. But, one club denied it.

Bury boss Andy Welsh failed to play Wrexham because he found an opposition better than them. Thus, the manager explained why he rejected the opportunity to play with Wrexham. As for Ryan, he can attend his first possible F1 race easily now.

As both the clubs prepare to compete in friendly matches, Bury boss Welsh explained why he thought Bradford City was a better opposition. According to Telegraph and Argus, Welsh explained, “Phil Parkinson was trying to get Wrexham over but I thought, ‘no, we want Bradford City’. They have supported it so well.” 

Thus Welsh’s dreams of getting his side to play one of his favorable clubs worked out. As for Reynolds, he has other business to attend to. If Wrexham played Bury in the friendly, it would probably take place on July 8th, a day before his expected appearance at the British GP held on July 9th. 

The Alpine team principal, Otmar Szafnauer, described how the new investors would probably debut at the British Grand Prix. The Hollywood duo joined Red Bird Capital and Otro Capital and paid around $217 million, having a 24% equity stake in the Alpine F1 team. This investment assists the team in competing with the other Red Bulls, Mercedes, and Aston Martin teams. Thus, after turning Wrexham AFC’s fortunes, they are excited about the new project.
