Wrexham has reached new heights under its Hollywood owners. Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have brought new eyes to the team following their takeover of the Welsh club. The team’s docuseries ‘Welcome to Wrexham’ starring Rob and Ryan have been a great hit amongst the fans. The docuseries has also helped the club boost its financial profile. While this is exciting news for the club, not everyone is as happy as the Red Dragons.
Rival fans are not too happy with the recent chatter around the club. Chants such as “F**k your documentary” and “Screw the Hollywood a**h***s” have been a common occurrence during Wrexham’s away games. Well, Stockport fans have another way to show their dislike towards their rivals, with a set of fans vandalizing the team’s docuseries poster in their town. According to reports, just days after Wrexham announced the 3rd season of their docuseries, Stockport fans drew crude drawings over the posters in the city.

While the signs were cleaned, it seems Stockport fans are back at it again. The fans have erased the part of the poster when it says Welcome to Wrexham, replacing it with Welcome to Stockport. To take things to another level, the rival fans have also given Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney a new look by drawing sleazy stuff on top of their face. This isn’t the first time someone has done this, with Notts County fans openly making obscene gestures, during the filming of the docuseries during their home games.
