Ryan Reynolds & Rob McElhenney’s Side Could Be Handed Over $7000 Fine After Wrexham’s Loss Against Accrington Stanley

Wrexham can get into some serious trouble. The Welsh club faced an unexpected blow after they locked horns with Accrington Stanley on Saturday. The 2-0 loss in League Two was highly disheartening for fans, who were elated about the club’s tremendous growth in recent times. This unanticipated loss ended up with fans failing to control their anger. They threw vapes and mini bottles of alcohol onto the pitch in the spur of emotions. This act can lead to Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney facing serious repercussions.

Saturday’s match at Wham Stadium also resulted in the Red Dragons losing their 11-match winning streak in all competitions. After Wrexham came under the Hollywood stars, the club showed unbelievable improvement and began to find a spot in soccer fans’ hearts. However, their latest loss and the dramatic incidents that took place during the match can affect their reputation adversely. Let’s delve further into the matter and find out what happened.

Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney might face a punishment

As per Sky Sports former England player and soccer pundit Danny Mills, Wrexham fans interrupted the flow of the match by throwing “vapes and mini bottles of alcohol” onto the pitch. The unsporting behavior resulted in the referee, Neil Hair, asking to clean up the mess. This caused a significant delay in the match, and later, the Red Dragons ended up losing.

The actions of the fans will lead to Reynold’s club receiving punishment. As per the 1991 Football Offenses Act, throwing objects onto the pitch can lead to a fine. A few years ago, the Rangers faced the same situation when their fans were found guilty of throwing objects onto the pitch. Back then, they had to pay over $7,000 as a fine. Now it seems that Wrexham would face the same fate and would have to pay the same amount.

If the club got lucky and didn’t have to pay the fine, they could peacefully concentrate on their upcoming match against Morecambe. At the moment, they have to wait to know the final verdict. Managing Wrexham is indeed a huge task for owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, as the latter recently complained of having more stress.
