As mentioned earlier, it was an all-expense party, and Reynolds told the players to keep their wallets and cards at home before boarding the flight. And to the surprise of the players, the owners kept their promise and threw an extravagant party. It completely blew away the players, according to Ben Foster.
Foster said, “We walked in, and the music changed right away. They started playing a Wrexham song, and then these banners drop all the way around the nightclub, and it’s got like Wrexham badges and Paul Mullin and Ben Tozer. All these flares going up and stuff like that, and everybody’s just be looking around thinking ‘what on earth is going on here.’ This is just outrageous,” while speaking on Fozcast.
The belief was that the events of day one would not recur. “Surely, this can’t be done again. So, we have a wicked night,” Foster added. But what happened the next day surprised everyone. It was again the same things the next day. And that’s what kept happening every day during their stay in Vegas.
Foster said, “It was just ridiculous. And that was quite literally how it went. Pool party, dinner, nightclub, repeat.” Those were some incredible details shared by the goalkeeper, who recently signed his one-year contract extension.
